Hurray Deg I don't know who is the fool self distributer, but he is a fool. I'm a self distributer for Erez Laufer films & for some other directors in which Erez was the editor. Before pricing our fees, I made a market survey so as to be attractive. Yet to get a small contribution to the costs of filming a good documentary Our fee for PPR is $250 or $300 (for One Day After Peace), (for institutional library without PPR $175 /$250) Our fee for streaming rights for University library to stream from its own streamer is $100 Films from Erez Laufer films have no time limit, films that I'm distributing for others 3 year license. I believe that streaming is the next frontier of libraries, so if any library has purchased a doco from me & wants to stream I'll deduct the sum that they already paid from the streaming fee. For example paid $175 for library use (as streaming you need to have PPR) then it will be $350-175= $175, or if you have already PPR only $100 for streaming rights.

To: "videolib@lists.berkeley.edu" <videolib@lists.berkeley.edu> Message-ID: <dac3018aad33dc41b8dca4808569d8fb29e14...@exmbt06.asurite.ad.asu.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I know what I have already said (to our licensing agent to pass along to the filmmaker). But I am curious as to my professional colleagues' take on these terms to stream an independent self-distributed documentary film. I am not interested in launching a discussion on the cost of producing a documentary film, etc. I put this out only to address the licensing terms. The licensing agreement for the streaming rights are limited to in-class viewing of the film by the professor teaching the film and their students, or by faculty who are considering teaching the film in other courses. Technical Note: All uploads to the server must be performed in the 4x3 aspect ratio NOT wide-screen 16x9. Any ratio other than 4x3 will be considered alteration of the film. Rates: 2-year streaming = $259 for institutions that already have the DVD $518 for institutions that do not have the DVD, and therefore need a DVD to perform the secure upload. Permanent classroom streaming rights are available at a flat fee of 4x the institutional DVD rate, which is $1,036. For institutions that already have the DVD, that is discounted to 3x the institutional rate, which is $777.00. Use of the film for online and long-distance teaching requires an additional $100 fee for the 2-year rate; if permanent classroom streaming rights are purchased it is a one-time $100 fee. To show my hand, I have recommended that we walk away and not license the video. -deg deg farrelly ShareStream Administrator/Media Librarian Arizona State University Libraries Tempe, AZ 85287-1006 602.332.3103 ------------------------------ ***** VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
