Jessica, Yes, you've hit every nail on the head in terms of my concerns. There's nothing I'd disagree with in your reply and I hope you didn't think I was trying to get around the issue. I was more looking for something authoritative I could send to the professor other than the Librarian's word

Well good luck. Needing the material to be legal is kind of basic so I don't know if it gets spelled out in general guidelines BUT it is all over the place in copyright LAW. Here is section 1 of the face to face teaching exemption ( sect 110) (1) performance or display of a work by instructors or

It doesn't matter if almost all your DVDs are Region 1. Region 1 and Region 2 (all regions, in fact) DVDs can BOTH be played on an all-region player. That's why it's all-region. They're not very expensive. You can probably get a good one for $100 or less. If you get one with a built-in

Dusty, Yes, this situation seemed to be the right thing to get that conversation re-started here. I think it's a very reasonable asset to purchase and I'm sure this will sort out most of these issues moving forward. Thanks for the reply. Best regards. Josh On Wed, Feb 5, 2014 at 9:51 AM,

It also sounded like it was for the students to take home so again I suspect most of them can play region 2. On Wed, Feb 5, 2014 at 12:12 PM, Kankiewicz, Michael micha...@buffalo.eduwrote: If you have a computer in your setup, the free VLC Media Player will play most DVDs.

I do just want to add, though, that not all DVD-R's are illegal copies. If you've bought anything from the Warner Brothers archive you'll know what I'm talking about. Cheers, Matt __ Matt Ball Media and Collections Librarian Clemons Library University of Virginia

That is totally correct. You can use a little common sense in these issues. Things sold by Warner Bros are not going to be bootlegs, but DVD-R of a title there is no legal copy in print ( it was only issued in VHS in the US) clearly is. In fact it would be illegal if it were regular DVD because

I would add that most of our e-book packages are similar to our streaming video packages like Alexander Street Press. They tend to be subscription packages, and the content is not really guaranteed for life. Not that this happens often with ASP, but with our e-book packages there have been

Well you will inevitably get different types of contracts for streaming film. I know I sound like a broken record but only a relatively small number of films can really be purchased with lifetime streaming which I know libraries would love. Nearly all fiction feature films either have contracts
