She is paying that $300 (or whatever price she is negotiating for) for her copy/rights/whatever. The library has paid their $300. She pay hers. The tape is just a transfer -- shared body.

Question: Who needs the permission to make a copy? The student or the library? Does it make a difference if the copy is made in-house or outsourced? The student is under the assumption that she can check out the $300 tape from the library and bring it to a video transfer shop. If permission to copy was not granted to the library, would the library be infringing for allowing the student to copy its copy?

[Videolib] PPR / Paid Admission Question
I thought I was pretty well-versed in Public Performance Rights, however I just had a question that has me a bit stumped. We have been indicating in our cataloging records when a media item has been purchased with Public Performance Rights, and I often show faculty interested in programming film series how they can search our catalog for these titles. These have always been for non-paying audiences. Today I spoke with a faculty member who is proposing to rent out a local non-profit theater, and wants to charge admission to recoup the rental costs. It dawned on me that I've never dealt with or considered the paid admission / PPR scenario. So: There is no one definition of PPR, is there? Meaning, some distributors may say that PPR includes the 'right' to charge admission, while others will stipulate that it's only applicable for 'free' admission? My hunch is that the faculty member will need to contact the distributors for clarification. Your $.02? Thank you, * Meghann Matwichuk, M.S.

Re: [Videolib] PPR / Paid Admission Question
Virtually all PPR licenses forbid charging admission and nearly all would in fact prevent any off campus showing. It is very unlikely he could use any of your titles without making a totally separate rental deal with the rights holder. There would be little point in distributors selling PPR if someone could just take the item off campus and show it with or without admission. On the bright side depending on the titles I suspect most distributors would be willing to work with the faculty member on a decent deal.

[Videolib] Web site Question # 1
Dear Videolib experts: In planning for the next iteration of our web site, I would like to ask for your help in answering for us one (1) question: QUESTION: If we were to add one (1) new Function (or type of Content, perhaps) to our web site this fall, what should it be? In other words, I am not asking about design, how it looks, layout, quality of writing, or even simple navigation issues (all of which no doubt can be improved). Rather - is there something missing that you would find useful and helpful? Examples (for illustration purposes only) might be: Take American Express cards for payment, Have complete credits on every film, use cookies or a registration process so the site remembers you and when you go to check out you don't have to enter your customer info (credit card info?) each time, have information on all the fimlmaker, have a subject index by country, have an subject index tree - Anthropology Cultural Anthropology Belief Systems for example, more social networking integration, places to leave comments about the film, tagging, etc We don't pretend to know what the site needs - this is why we are asking YOU!

Re: [Videolib] PPR / Paid Admission Question

Public Performance Rights that are sold to education are also called Non-Theatrical Rights and, almost always, do NOT include the right to charge admission OR to show it to an audience outside the mandate of the purchasing institution.

Re: [Videolib] PPR / Paid Admission Question
for once Susan? Gee I am hurt.

Before the opening onscreen credits roll, an image of a metronome dissolves into the image of a car's [H]windshield wipers sweeping rain from the windshield. This and the following shots are rendered from the driver's point of view. The car drives down the long driveway of Louis Manor and stops at the door. The door opens, the camera dollies into a room and stops at a painting of a landscape. The driver then sees the dangling hand of a man's prone body on the staircase. At that moment, Oliver Branwell awakens from his nightmare. The opening credits then roll.
