The right of bona fide students of the University of Liverpool and only such students to make use of recorded lectures for the purposes of revision and review is recognised and uncontested.

The following statement is with reference to the arrogation of performance rights and copyright encapsulated within the ukase that had formed part of (what was originally tagged) Section 9.1 of the University Policy on Lecture Capture, to the effect that ``Staff ... will grant to the University a non-exclusive royalty free licence in perpetuity to performance rights'' and, subsequently exacerbated by the wording of Section 4.3 asserting ``Lecturers retain copyright in lecture recordings made under this policy but grant the University an exclusive royalty-free licence to use them in line with this policy.'' and Section 5.2, ``the lecturer retains their rights in the recording made, but grants the University, under non-exclusive licence, the right to use the recording in line with this policy.'' of the (June 2019) revision.

In adopting such language (and as has been confirmed through legal authority) the University continues to claim rights neither defensible in Law nor commensurate with its moral and ethical obligations to academic staff.

The revised (June 2019) wording continues to be unsatisfactory, indeed compounds the offence within (what is now) Section 9.1 by laying claim to ownership and handling of material that is neither owned by nor within the remit of the University to dictate: specifically, the wording ``Lecture recordings will be retained, and available to students, until one year after the relevant full-time cohort would normally be expected to complete the programme, and then deleted.''

In light of the continuing failure to demonstrate due regard for rights of ownership, and the contemptuous attitude exhibited towards legal obligations, once again, it is hereby stated that pursuant to those rights and protections contained in Section 180 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 all rights, whether respecting delivery (in the nature of performance rights as are due in regard to recorded lectures) or intellectual ownership (including, but not limited to, copyright in materials created for the purpose) are retained without exception by myself as author and presenter of the material contained therein. Specifically, no licence of any form is granted to or enjoyed by the University for any purpose. Applications to obtain such will require a written submission and be granted only under terms found to be acceptable to the legitimate holder, that is to say myself.

The legal holder of these rights hereby gives notice that they reserve the option of pursuing claims for recompense.

Dated this 25th Day of January 2018, amended this 23rd Day of July 2018 and further amended this 20th Day of September 2019.

Prof. Paul E. Dunne
