Needless to say I would urge caution. If Hulu was generous enough to do
Post by Kolodney, UriThe account was created for the prof. and she was asked not to share the
password with the students. I assume she screened that film during class
time but I donât know for sureâŠ

I think you misread that. Hulu agreed to allow the instructor ONLY a
temporary password so she could use the film in actual class ( or I
presume a screening outside the class) They did not an I can safely say
would not provide a temporary password for the students to watch on their
own. There is the horror folks, in order to use a film in a class it may be
necessary to watch it in the class ( or as a group outside of class time).
Sound practically medieval or least very 80s
Thanks Uri!
Hopefully, they will do the same with our faculty and provide her with a
temporary password for the students.
I've never had this come up with a film we've licensed via Swank. Good to
know this might be a thing that could come up.

I have talked to Hulu last May about one of their titles so I guess I did
not talk to âyourâ rep :) Anyway, then I got a simple no - they simply do
not do that (i.e. educational rights).
But they were very generous and supplied the professor with a temporary
Hulu account and allowed her to use it in the classroom for one semester.
As far as asking to talk to the prof. about teaching etc. this is common I
think â sometimes I get this from Swank with new releases â they simply
want to use this information in their guides and promotional materials -
the explanation I got is that the studios are requiring it⊠just another
way to get data.

Interesting. I am old fashioned I think of a "distributor" as dealing
with multiple markets ( theatrical when they can) non theatrical,
educational, home copies and of course streaming.
Anyway I think it's a good sign Hulu is asking questions, I think the
problem might be that have no real mechanism to help you. They are not
really set up to say license you a file. I think the best you can hope for
is for them to agree to allow the film to be watched in some kind of class
setting but hey you never know.
Good luck
Jessica
Hi Jessica,
Yes.
We originally contacted the production company who sent us to Hulu (who is
actually the distributor). This has been an ongoing discussion for a few
weeks that was just routed to them.
are you sure the film belongs to Hulu? Just because it is on their
service does not mean they have educational rights. Amazon and Netflix tend
to make or buy outright a lot of docs , I am not familiar enough with Hulu
to say if they do but did you research the film outside its showing on
Hulu? Hulu is not really a distributor so its not surprising they would ask
how it works at least they are responding unlike others.
Jessica
Hello colleagues,
I'm in contact with Hulu regarding a documentary a professor would like to
show to her class. Surprisingly, I am the first person to talk to them
about obtaining an educational license, at least according to their rep.
It's entirely possible, I suppose. What is interesting is that they want to
talk to the faculty about how she is planning to use this particular film.
I've never had a distributor ask me that question when obtaining an
educational license, so I thought I'd ask to see if this has come up for
any of you. It seems kind of fishy to me.
Best,
