[Videolib] Segments of a DVD
Seems the consensus on here is that this is fair use: I work for a for-profit college so classroom exceptions do not apply. I have a professor who wants to screen the feature Thank You for Smoking in a classroom setting however he will not be screening the entire film. He will be choosing 5-6 snippets of the film (5 minutes long). Do I need to secure viewing rights for this? I've just been instructed by my Director that there are no exceptions for for-profit institutions and that I will need to get PPR for the film. What she wrote: Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair: 1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes 2. The nature of the copyrighted work 3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole 4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work Still think it's fair use?

Re: [Videolib] Segments of a DVD
Dear James, Not to be commercially officious or even have the correct opinion, but this is based on our history. When speakers give public talks using clips from our films, they often call us to clear the rights. Obviously, we charge the large corporate talks more than we would ever charge a college, even a for-profit one. So you director *might* be right.

Re: [Videolib] Segments of a DVD
Actually there is a long tradition of fair use in commercial and for profit uses. You can for instance quote parts of copyrighted books, poems etc, in other works. The whole concept of fair use was to allow portions of copyrighted works to be used to create new works and it is by no means limited to being non for profit. My view is that the only way this is NOT fair use is if you can make a legitimate argument that the portions being used represent to large a chunk of the original work and/or that you are making a profit specifically from using the other work in a way that damages its value. If the use of clips in a class of for profit school were not fair use than pretty much any quotation, paragraph, used either in the class or in any work circulated in a course pack would also violate fair use. ( I don't mean whole articles in course packs which do have to be cleared I mean anything that just quotes from another work). In general I think the director may be confusing the face to face exemption which of course allows non profits to use an entire film in a class with fair use because per above if you literally had to clear quote clip used say a lecture, article etc you might go nuts.

Re: [Videolib] Segments of a DVD
Just my two cents, but I don't even think point one is actually against you either. It is my belief that point 1 means if you will be using the clips for direct profit. Yes, your institution is for profit, but the clips in and of themselves are not being used to create a product (like a new movie etc) that will be profited from, but just being shown to students, it is in essence footnotes for the professors lecture. So 2 of 4 points (34) clearly in your favor, one point (1) can easily be argued in your favor, and the fourth (2) just doesn't seem enough to warrant not using the clips. I say use them. regards jhs John H. Streepy Library-Government Publications James E.

not been legally released that I know of.

Re: [Videolib] off-topic: duplicating dvds
Why don't you pop for a DVD burner...they're not all that expensive and you can buy ones that'll burn multiples, so the time investment isn't all that great. gary I've got a question about duplicating dvds of lectures that the college has recorded. We want to transfer them onto archival gold dvds for preservation and have a vendor quote at $25 per dvd for two copies. Does this seem like a reasonable price? We have 70 to do so having someone sit at their computer to burn them seems a waste of manpower. Any other options?
