[Videolib] Question about temporary viewing rights

2011-06-27 Thread Suvi Morales
Does anyone have contact information (e-mail to person responsible for 
determining viewing rights preferred) on the following companies:

EMI Music
RCA
VAI
DG

Some of them provide an opportunity for e-mail feedback or to general questions 
on their websites but my question is very time sensitive and I need to get in 
contact with someone as soon as possible as I was planning on showing a DVD 
from each company for an educational library program on classical music and 
opera.

Thank you for your help! You may e-mail me directly at

Well I have to admit the copyright here is VERY suspect. Copyright should
date to time the material was first used or published and it appears that
was  in the teens and that the chain of title which is crucial to copyright
is also suspect. However the fact that new words were used for an old melody
is irrelevant, the new version would be subject to copyright.

Ironically it is the music people who are far more advanced in protecting
copyright than film people, largely because ASCAP covers nearly all music
and they are most aggressive.

PBS and WGBH http://www.wgbh.org/ , and their producing partners WNET and 
KET, along with 31 other PBS member stations, today launched PBS LearningMedia 
http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/  (pbslearningmedia.org 
http://pbslearningmedia.org ), a free service for all teachers, students and

LearningMedia has content contributed from other publicly funded organizations, 
including the National Archives, the Library of Congress and NPR, as well as 
content funded by NASA, the National Science Foundation, the National 
Institutes of Health and the US Department of Education, to deliver thousands

Delivering unprecedented access to a robust digital library aligned to Common 
Core State Standards and available to all preK-16 classrooms, PBS LearningMedia

contributors. Beginning today, teachers and students have immediate access for 
their lessons and homework to more than 114,000 research-based instructional 
resources - including videos, interactives, images, audio files, mobile apps, 
lesson plans, and worksheets. Combining dynamic and engaging instructional 
content with professional development support, PBS LearningMedia empowers 
educators to create media-rich curriculum lessons that meet the needs of 21st 
century learners

 *   quickly and easily find relevant resources, localized to their needs, to 
differentiate instruction for a diverse range of learners;
 *   personalize the site by tagging resources and share ideas, recommendations 
and comments on how they've used media assets in their teaching with their 
professional learning networks via email or social media tools, such as 
Facebook and Twitter; and
 *   develop class pages - curated content lists - for student viewing, 
feedback and instruction on interactive white boards and school-based intranets 
and other networking tools.


Site requires registering but all of the content is free for educators,  
students, and families.
A premium service will go live

[Videolib] Citing media - APA 6th edition

Hi all,

A very persnickety question.  When citing film with the new APA style 
guidelines, 6th edition, is format always listed as [motion picture] or can it 
be a more medium specific, [DVD].

Thanks,

[Videolib] Not video, but issues just as relevant - Contract law

licenses, content from OverDrive, as they seek to move to a new platform rather 
than renew with OverDrive.

Re: [Videolib] Not video, but issues just as relevant - Contract law

2011-06-27 Thread Jessica Rosner
I don't know anything about Overdrive, but doesn't key section seem
contradictory? The first sentence says Overdrive will assist in transferring
material the library has purchased and the 2nd sentence says they have to
obtain permission from the rights holders. I think the interesting thing
will be the contract between Overdrive and various rights holders. My guess
is that it did not include the rights to sell material for continuous use (
few of these contracts do on films at least) and if that is the case the
library would at best end up suing Overdrive claiming they misrepresented
the rights but the again if contract between rights holders to Overdrive did
not include rights for continues use and platform transfer then they would
be correct in claiming Overdrive never had the right to sell it and the
contract is invalid.

It should be interesting.
