Hello, Sarah,
These are bootlegs. Whenever the films are offered ³DVD-r and region free
without artwork² (moviedetective) you can be pretty sure they don¹t have
rights to it, or it¹d have artwork. Someone often taped it off a tv
broadcast.
IOffer is rife with bootlegs, possibly as much as 95% by
Hi, Debra,
The reality of Youtube is it don¹t curate its content - it¹s pretty much
all user-submitted except for their channels (which they¹re charging for
now in some cases, to take away the ads).
Those are the exception. The most aggressive action Youtube participates
in is to take down clips
Doug,
Kindly, I am not sure deciding not to carry a film in your collection you
may be in charge of, for political, aesthetic or moral reasons,
constitutes censorship.

Hi, Matt,
*If* you have a region-free PAL-to_NTSC DVD player/Blu-ray player (region
free or not) then indeed you can play that PAL R2 disc. Not all Blu-Ray
players are Region free for Blu's or Region Free for DVDs. One must check
the specs of the item they're ordering and what they need to play.
Hi, Eileen,
The word dvdrip is usually a good clue that the site is not legit. Also
a little investigation will reveal that the films are not downloadable
or streamable as they claim or might expect like on Netflix or Hulu- the
links all seem to lead to torrent files. And lots of ads and spammy
Thank you Judith. It looks like you read the entire decision (at least, wait
for it... the good parts) and understand the specifics and the exceptions of
this particular decision.
Each case is only more case law, not (so far) a definitive decision on fair
use. Well-reasoned analyses with a
Hi
Actually this is more the studios' new service, Ultraviolet, which WalMart
is just recently facilitating.
It is very much a single hoome-user model, in which they are trying to get
consumers to begin buying physical DVDs with the promise that they can
watch them on any devices through VUDO.
I think you've discovered the reason why there's such a dearth of papers
on the topic. :)

Hi, Jessica,
I think Michael is pointing out that there is no explicit ruling against
use of an entire work, depending upon the way Fair Use or Teach or 108 is
interpreted and the circumstances. Kim Stanton also points out that the
distinction between core resources and ancillary ones is
The site DL4all.com won't actually have it - they list your search request in
their results and as you saw, try to get you to pay for a subscription before
you find out they actually don't have it.
This is one of those illegal piracy/ digital locker sites. They use words like

Fox and Universal also started this with Redbox and Netflix in April, and I

Hi, Deg,
For the record, I was also fortunate (?) enough to have seen Quintet in
theatres... When going to Altman films when they opened was 1) possible 2)
the thing to do.
You must have been that guy in the back row. Not well attended, that.

Hi,
Our collection has almost 2000 16mm prints, approximately 75% of which
have never been issued on VHS or DVD. Our AV services no longer support
16mm machines to classes or even have them in back storage (junked long
ago), so there are no facilities campus-wide to show these in classrooms.
For
One part of this discussion is whether the music rights really belong
with the recording artists. Work for hire and numerous authors create
a difficult legal tangle.
Another part of this discussion, which Jessica alluded to, and which is
more interesting culturally, is what the artists will do

Hi,
While Zediva may have been an interesting attempt to exploit what seemed
to be a semantic loophole in the copyright code, such a
physical-copy-based model simply doesn't scale. Previous VOD schemes
dating from the '80s on could never crack this problem beyond very limited
tests.

Jessica,
I think the JSTOR case may more properly be understood in the context of
hacking/ bittorrent/open-access content online stories going on in the
larger digital community. Increasingly obsolete business models are
struggling to morph in the age of Hulu, Netflix, and P2P sites.

While I appreciate and respect everyone's right to say what they like on
the videolib listserv, can I request that we temper the language to avoid
further comments suggesting that the librarians and academics here at UCLA
are nothing more than thieves?

Hi,
As a (relatively new) member of the UCLA community dealing with the
ramifications of this issue daily, I'd like to point out that not all the
facts expressed here on this listserv are correct in re UCLA's policies.
The real issue is in getting clarification on what is allowable in a

Hi, Mike,
The exclusive part is a marketing thing. Amazon does this. This is a
Warner's title, and will be certainly be available elsewhere and widely,
especially as other flavors of the collection (without the extras, etc)
are released.
Amazon gets these early listings and bragging rights,
Thanks, Michael. I was going by the weekly sales charts on Digital Digest
(link below) that measure packaged media in general, and you're right,
blu-ray is growing (as is 3_D and HDTV) but not nearly enough to make up
for the fall of DVD sales. BD marketshare is flat relative to users of
DVDs and
