Re: [Videolib] Zevida ordered shut down
Zediva was an interesting idea, anyway. As I recall , Zediva was focusing on a market for streamed video of DVDs that had just been released, before the other streaming services were allowed to offer them. It stands to reason that it would be effectively attacked because it was stepping on a lot of toes, from the premium channels that have first dibs on presenting new films to stores and e-stores that get to sell the DVDs before the streaming begins. I wonder if the technology will turn out to be useful in another context, though. I seem to recall an article in the 90s, before DVDs replaced VHS, about a university that used a similar system to stream video to student computers. I remember it involved a large number of VCRs in a room (not sure who was feeding them) and I know that there was an option to capture some of the stream (or that option was envisaged) because the article spoke about students being able to insert a clip in an essay. Or did I dream that?

Re: [Videolib] Zevida ordered shut down
In terms of copyright law there is often not that much difference between commercial and non profit particularly when the issue is the use of an entire work. One of the most common misconceptions is that Fair Use is limited to non commercial/non profit use, which is not true. Likewise most major copyright decisions have developed out of what we would call commercial use but apply across the board. Obviously there are some special provisions for academic use such as face to face, but these are fairly well defined.

Re: [Videolib] Zevida ordered shut down
Hi, While Zediva may have been an interesting attempt to exploit what seemed to be a semantic loophole in the copyright code, such a physical-copy-based model simply doesn't scale. Previous VOD schemes dating from the '80s on could never crack this problem beyond very limited tests. - - Roger Brown Manager UCLA Instructional Media Collections Services 46 Powell Library Los Angeles, CA 90095-1517 office: 310-206-1248 fax: 310-206-5392 rbr...@oid.ucla.edu -- Message: 4 Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2011 15:40:40 + From: Shoaf,Judith P jsh...@ufl.edu Subject: Re: [Videolib] Zevida ordered shut down To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Message-ID: 3dbf4281403d7248b5da1c65dfbc51b9022e0...@ufexch-mbxn01.ad.ufl.edu Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Zediva was an interesting idea, anyway.
