Re: [Videolib] Copyright Act Reform proposed

I read parts of it briefly. I could see nothing that would remotely relate to an issue like streaming a whole film. I have no problem with issues of incidental and personal use but I suspect the studios do . Sadly they they tend to concentrate on stuff like clips or incidental music, while largely

There is a BIG difference between a film being shown IN a class with the professor ( Face to Face), and being put up on line for students to watch whenever and how often they want.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video for reserves

I'm pretty much in agreement with Gary on the unlicensed streaming of complete works. I think it's rash to scare off people from using the TEACH Act under any circumstances. If the guidelines are followed and only portions are used, I think it's a usable tool for works with no option for licensing.
