No, under copyright law in Australia and New Zealand it is not infringement. The Australian and New Zealand Copyright Acts allow educational institutions to copy from television and radio broadcasts for educational purposes, provided they pay a licence fee. Screenrights collects the licence fees and distributes royalties to the rightsholders for the use of their programs. Educational institutions can also communicate copies made from television and radio for educational purposes.
In addition, Australian government departments are allowed to copy from television and radio broadcasts for government purposes, and the free to air networks are allowed to be retransmitted by another service, such as pay television. Screenrights also licenses the retransmission of free to air broadcasts on mobile phones and IPTV.
