I'm not quite sure but it would at least show intent on my part to prohibit recordings.  I haven't done the detailed legal research on the topic.  I have told my students that, without a doubt, I would legally pursue it if, for example, my lectures appeared on You Tube.

Would a statement such as the one you presented stand up in a court of law and legally shield you from any material on the recording?

Thanks for having shared this article with our group.  Although the article was about employees rather than students, I have included a "no-record" statement in my course policies for many years.  Here it is:

CLASS FORMAT AND ATTENDANCE

The course is a combination of lecture/discussion sessions, student presentations, guest speaker presentations and online participation. Attendance at all class sessions is required except for excused absence (please see “Excused Absences” and “Unexcused Absences” in the SUNY Oneonta Student Handbook). To be considered "present" at any class, students should be in their seats no later than 1:00 p.m. each class day. Students may not make recordings, including but not limited to any audio, video or digital copies, of lectures or class content for any reason without express written consent of the instructor. Permission to record a class is limited to permission to record for personal use only. It is, for example, never permissible to copy, file-share, sell, distribute, or Web-serve such recordings.


Since my course includes a lot of information about protection of intellectual property, my students seem to understand this policy


Thanks,

Janet

This brings to mind concerns about students using recording devices in the classroom.
 
I have a paragraph in my syllabus prohibiting the recording of my lectures without permission.
 
Your thoughts?
