Let's put it this way, Jessica: I have about 32K tapes in my collection,
and I can confidently say that I can show significant deterioration for
the majority.
This feature of 108 is perhaps the most idiotic of them all: what it
effectively says is that you have to wait until the medium is
No what it effectively says is you don't get the right to make a free copy
or upgrade. It is pretty clear it was written for preservation and research
not for circulation which would include classroom use. If you could just
digitize everything ( which to be honest is happening in many

There's a HELL of a lot of difference between freely digitizing and
delivering in-distribution content (under the banner of 107 or other
rationales) and invoking 108 to save content that is out-of-distribution
and at risk of going away for good. Come on, J. You KNOW these two
things
Thanks Gary. Have a wonderful holidays.

Except a ton of stuff is out of distribution and the rights holder can't
afford to upgrade. If you give libraries carte blanche to make DVDs of any
out of print video and that does seem to be what you are suggesting, it will

Okay, you've reinforced what I was thinking: we can't assume permission

request permission.
In the early 90s we did a collection-wide conversion of our U-matics to
VHS based on whether we received permission from the copyright holders
to do so. Titles whose copyright holders outright said no or wanted a
license fee were not converted. Eventually, we were able to purchase or
