[Videolib] streaming internationally
Hi all, So I have a faculty member who is teaching a study abroad class in Germany, and asked if we could stream videos for him to use there... Two possible stupid questions, 1. Do all of you vendors stream internationally - are there possible bandwith/networking problems anywhere? 2. Is there any copyright problems if we want to stream films that are going to be used in Europe? Thanks for any help, rhonda Rhonda Rosen| Circulation Services Librarian William H.

Re: [Videolib] streaming internationally
I doubt any vender streams internationally. Some have precense in other countries but they would likely have to stream FROM that country. I think this is going to be a NIGHTMARE issue for vendors/distributors. Nearly all contracts cover only a specific geography and they would violating their contracts if they ever allowed one of their films to stream or be accessed outside the US. For ficton feature films there is pretty much ZERO chance you can obtain rights or a US company can help. There might be two possibilities with non fiction material but almost only if the filmmaker is from the US. It would be possible for a distributor to contact one of their filmmakers and ask, it would of course depend on if they ( the filmmaker) had made a deal overseas. There would almost surely be a separate fee. One off the wall possibility that MIGHT give you some wiggle room would be if you could stream the film ONLY DIRECTLY into a specific classroom at a specific time and if the students watching were students from your campus studying abroad. To be honest it would still violate almost any contract but you might try to say that the classroom is academic equivalent of an embassy . Again it would have to be limited to a specific classroom with US based students studying abroad but it is worth a try. Bottom line is that if you need to stream overseas it is like starting from scratch and you will have to research who owns those rights and if it is feasible to do.
