[Videolib] Writing on Double Sided DVDs?

2011-04-04 Thread Seay, Jared Alexander
We are receiving an increasing number of Double Sided DVD's upon which
we want to put some identifying mark.  Our cataloging librarian wants to
know if writing on one side (that obviously contains data) will damage
or interfere with  the playback?Any ideas?  Thanks.

I know someone asked about this  a while back. TCM is releasing it on 4/26 and 
I don't think a lot of their titles go through standard wholesalers but I could 
be wrong.

[Videolib] Copyright waived on Bolivian film?

2011-04-04 Thread Brewer, Michael
Anyone know about this? A faculty member is asking us to stream this film for 
his course and says that the copyright was waived by the director at the time 
of its distribution.  We don't even own a copy:

The film is titled  'Yawar mallku Sangre del condor = Blood of the condor', 
directed by Jorge Sanjinés in 1969. The copyright has been waived on this 
title. Sanjines mailed out the film in order to save it from the destruction by 
the Bolivian government. I believe that if you request an ILL, you will see 
that the borrowed dvd has no copyright claim. That is why there is no vendor. 
Something you might check out for this very important piece of cinema.

Thanks,

Re: [Videolib] Copyright waived on Bolivian film?

2011-04-04 Thread Jessica Rosner
I don't exactly by this story that he mailed it out and waived the
copyright. First off he would have to own the copyright to waive it, most
directors don't own their films. Kind of like when Michael Moore said he
thought people should just illegally download SICKO which did not endear him
to the Weinsteins. It is possible the director owned the copyright, but not
that likely on a fiction film. IMDB shows the film had some kind of
theatrical release in 1973 by a mostly exploitation company called
Tricontinental Film Center. Presumably somebody sold them the rights. The
key really is if Tricontinental ever bothered to copyright it in the US.You
should be able to check this at Library of Congress. Now even if they did
not in theory it could be retroactively copyrighted by the original rights
holder, but until they do it would be fair game. Basically I would see if it
was ever copyrighted in the US and proceed from there.

Thanks for the input.  We know about the label rings.  Our catalogers 
are reluctant to put stickers on our DVD's because we used to have all

better these days.  This was in the late 90's as I recall.  Since we

 At 7pm, I went to see a film screening of *HURRY TOMORROW*...It is 
an extremely shocking and intense film about mental health 
institutions in the 70s.  If you haven't seen it, I highly suggest it. 
 It's heart-wrenching (I cried).  The discussion afterward was equally 
profound, and I left with a renewed passion to become a clinical 
therapist.  My PscyD can't come soon enough.  Hannah Monk, Wesleyan,

Re: [Videolib] Copyright waived on Bolivian film?

2011-04-04 Thread Dennis Doros
Here's the information on the differences between GATT and the Berne
Convention 
herehttp://depts.washington.edu/uwcopy/Copyright_Law/International_Copyright_Law/Key.php
but
the answer is that as a signatory, yes, absolutely, the film would become
retroactively copyrighted in the US even if Tricontinental do not do so on
first release. The director could own the rights if he either paid for it or
like in France, the director is considered the auteur (and that's something
I don't understand totally) by the country's copyright code. But Michael's
right, it still is probably under copyright in the US even if no one claims
ownership. (Hence the term that started in the 1990s, orphan films.) It was
a New Yorker Title after they inherited the Tricontinental collection so
maybe they will remember the director's story.

Now, if the director legitimately owns it and claims no rights to it, then I
see no reason to not use the film as the director has wished. But I'd really
like to see first-person documentation on this. Jessica's right about it
sounding strange -- there have been many cases where directors have smuggled
their films out of their country but I can't think of any where the director
gave up his rights.

 OK BUY not by his story.

 FYI my money is on the film never being registered in the US.

 I don't exactly by this story that he mailed it out and waived the
 copyright. First off he would have to own the copyright to waive it, most
 directors don't own their films. Kind of like when Michael Moore said he
 thought people should just illegally download SICKO which did not endear him
 to the Weinsteins. It is possible the director owned the copyright, but not
 that likely on a fiction film. IMDB shows the film had some kind of
 theatrical release in 1973 by a mostly exploitation company called
 Tricontinental Film Center. Presumably somebody sold them the rights. The
 key really is if Tricontinental ever bothered to copyright it in the US.You
 should be able to check this at Library of Congress. Now even if they did
 not in theory it could be retroactively copyrighted by the original rights
 holder, but until they do it would be fair game. Basically I would see if it
 was ever copyrighted in the US and proceed from there.

   Anyone know about this? A faculty member is asking us to stream this
 film for his course and says that the copyright was “waived” by the director
 at the time of its distribution.  We don’t even own a copy:



 “The film is titled  ‘Yawar mallku Sangre del condor = Blood of the
 condor’, directed by Jorge Sanjinés in 1969. The copyright has been waived
 on this title. Sanjines mailed out the film in order to save it from the
 destruction by the Bolivian government. I believe that if you request an
 ILL, you will see that the borrowed dvd has no copyright claim. That is why
 there is no vendor. Something you might check out for this very important
 piece of cinema.”

It's intriguing in that it doesn't really look like a bootleg - with all the
subtitle options and it being NTSC Region 1. It's for sale nowhere else so
I'd imagine it's a legit screener for film festival/Academy Awards use.

Re: [Videolib] bootleg

I did not have to get past the $9.95 price, the NTSC format and that the
seller is in China to know that yes it is a bootleg.
Pretty much anything and everything from Asia on eBay is a bootleg. It
appears to be a film that probably had no US release but is certainly owned
by some company.

Again rule of thumb is that any DVD from Asia on eBay is almost surely a
bootleg. There are sellers in Europe, Australia etc who sell legit titles
not sold in the US, but they are nearly always PAL and cost $20 on up.

no Chris , trust me you can find almost any title from Asia. You can buy
GONE WITH THE WIND for $5.00 and it looks a bit legit.
It is the Wild West in terms of selling illegal anything. Think of it as a
knock off Coach bag.

Rule of thumb if the only source you see for a film is A. eBay. B some
website you never heard off that offers rare videos than it is an illegal
copy. However per previous emails you can find some legit imports on eBay
from Europe but in most cases you can find the same titles on various Amazon
sits in Europe.
