Re: [Videolib] 13th and Streaming Distribution w/o Educational Availability

This is great everyone! We’ve actually been in talks with the filmmakers from Audrie and Daisy since before the premiere at Sundance, trying to advocate for Edu. We even got close to arranging something with Netflix after the Originals deal was done, so it will be wonderful to be able to show

Re: [Videolib] 13th and Streaming Distribution w/o Educational Availability

Thanks, all, for the ideas and input! And yes, I do understand that there are different rights complications depending on whether or not Amazon / Netflix has produced the content or not. I do realize this is a tall order and may not (or may not be likely to) result in DVD availability. But

Re: [Videolib] 13th and Streaming Distribution w/o EducationalAvailability

This is an issue which the Music Library Association has been trying to address for several years, with great music being distributed only through individual online music distribution sources. They have been looking to ALA for support with this issue. Nell Chenault VCU Libraries On Fri, Dec

Re: [Videolib] 13th and Streaming Distribution w/o EducationalAvailability

I agree that sub licensing is far more likely then them ever agreeing to physical copies. I can say from experience that for MOST things Netflix and Amazon do not own EDU rights but they almost surely do for series they produce and I think for certain films they buy. I have actually had to

Re: [Videolib] 13th and Streaming Distribution w/o EducationalAvailability

This is the big issue and I agree with everything that has been said so far. This was always going to be the dark side of digital—controlled access that made the First Sale Doctrine moot. We will need to find a solution that will work for all libraries—K-12, academic, public, special.

Re: [Videolib] 13th and Streaming Distribution w/o Educational Availability

Hello Team Videolib: I think the issue here is not Netflix at all or FilmSprout who typically just handles community screenings. Netflix does NOT hold EDU rights and doesn't seem to plan to at this point. I had lunch with my buyer at Netflix 2 weeks ago and discussed this with him specifically.

Re: [Videolib] 13th and Streaming Distribution w/o Educational Availability

I agree that the issue of digital-only copies is becoming a critical one for libraries, both for us video folks and in music librarianship. At the VRT Business meeting in Orlando, we learned that a high-level ALA group tasked with meeting with streaming content providers was on hold, but would

Re: [Videolib] 13th and Streaming Distribution w/o Educational Availability

I love this idea! I've been pursuing this on individual basis with both Netflix and Amazon. My argument has been that this type of licensing is another potential revenue stream that they are not considering. I think there is a general misunderstanding about the educational licensing market and the

Re: [Videolib] 13th and Streaming Distribution w/o Educational Availability

I hate to be the Debbie Downer but I think there is zero chance Netfix ever agrees to physical copies. They MIGHT agree to some kind of deal for allowing schools to stream. I should point out that they also won't allow theaters to show their films other than qualifying runs for Oscars in NY & LA.

Re: [Videolib] 13th and Streaming Distribution w/o Educational Availability

These are all good ideas. I was thinking about inviting representatives from Netflix and Amazon (and Filmstruck?? And others?) to NMM 2017 (Portland, Oregon). I am brainstorming some sponsorship opportunities, and would like to look to companies outside our field of exhibitors. I think that if

I think these are genius ideas from Meghann. I especially like the idea of a joint letter from VRT and NMM and having an "all set" statement with many signatures ready to attach to an email we're sending. So who's the drafter? ;) Susan Albrecht Graduate Fellowship Advisor Library Media

Re: [Videolib] 13th and Streaming Distribution w/o Educational Availability

I like the idea of a petition. Who would we target? Amazon (Prime) and Netflix seem to be the primary 'offenders' right now. (But there are individual / self-distributors who are also only selling to individuals via stream.) Another possibility -- maybe a joint letter from VRT and NMM?

Hi all, I'm happy to add my voice. Is there a group letter writing option? Change.org post? Blog post option? I may be able to help with the tech for this. Once again, Ava DuVernay has gotten the ball rolling on an important topic. Why not keep it rolling? Regards, Laura Laura Jenemann
