make sure you get rights that you purchase.
I suppose the reminder that you can't stream any film or book you
every purchased based on virtually every existing case law is still
considered a rant. Let's just say I am waiting for

I know we have disagreed on this and I have run this by many companies
that distribute foreign film in particular and all I have spoken do
not believe their contracts permit the sale of lifetime streaming if
they for instance have the right to sell downloads to individuals for

I'm going to have to disagree. Selling streaming rights for the life of the
digital file to a university is not comparable to a broadcast sale in
perpetuity.
In the former case you are selling to a single entity. Using Facets as an
example, the school could pay $20 for in classroom face to
Rick, you're on the money. My email to which Jessica responded
specifically stated that my college has absolutely no interest in
streaming. So for her to bring it up yet again, I agree is continuing the
rant.

Bob,
The likelihood of schools desiring new digital formats after the
stream has been sold is still matter of conjecture at this point. They
sure don't seem to be too interested in Blu Ray.
Due to the nature of (our contracts) at least I do feel obligated to

If you are 'buying exploitation rights for profit' it implies that you are in
the business of generating revenue for your filmmakers, which means offering
licenses that the customers not only want but will be requiring; how can a
librarian catalog a stream which they do not have a
The problem Bob is that such a right is generally not in the contract
for feature films. Basically the producer has NOT agreed to it. Now if
they wish to agree and let distributors sell this right they are free
to do so but as a matter of contract it would be treated like TV sale.

I honestly apologize if you think that was a rant. I do actually
agree with you and have posted here many times regarding not needing
PPR or any other rights for classroom use.
However I freely admit I have become a tad paranoid of late because
there are now widespread assertions that Fair
Elizabeth, I'm sorry you know I love Kino and appreciate all that you
do but we simply disagree on this (relatively small) issue.
What you just said implies that we are only in the business of
generating immediate profit for rights holders regardless of the
future implications or even our
I don't see why libraries can't do the
same AT LEAST until we work out the language in our contracts that
allows us to do this with full disclosure to the rights holders.
You mean why can't libraries pay over and over and over again for access
to static content? I don't think so... We do it now
I need the term limits to to accurately and honestly report to the sales agents
based on our contract. They have the right to audit all of my activity.
I don't want you to have to keep paying either, I charge a very nominal rate
for renewals. But once we lose the rights - that's the end.

Three words- Foreign rights holders . For example there is simply no
way these guys who own an awful lot of good films are going to agree
to sell films with lifetime streaming and that is in cases where they
could. As Ben says we would all LOVE to be able to sell lifetime
streaming rights. I
