For me, im not downloading student dancers. Its professional dancers that I download. Nor do I bring videos to class to pick apart. My main thing is to be able to watch them without having my computer. I like to study and take notes and learn new combos, etc. Especially the dancers from other countries that I cannot get videos from. Theres one dancer that i downloaded all her videos because she doesnt sell them outside of her country. So why not download her youtube videos so i can at least have those!

- video clips from professionally produced DVDs that someone else has uploaded?
- Watching them yourself on your computer
- Compiling a DVD of other people's dance clips for instruction in the classroom?
The thought that someone could be downloading my clips (or worse, clips of my student group) to show in class & pick apart with their students makes me ill.
I put clips of my students online, with their permission, so their relatives in other states can see them perform, and so new students can study class choreos at home. But knowing people could download them & do whatever with them makes me want to take them down.
Sad.
