Subject: [Videolib] Copytalk Webinar on Section 108 Video Project

Apologies for duplication, but wanted to remind you of a webinar of interest to 
this list that has been re-scheduled for tomorrow, January 5th at 2pm EST/11am 
PST.

Newly retired deg farrelly will be presenting on the Section 108 cooperative 
database developed by himself, Chris Lewis, and Jane Hutchinson.

All best,
Brian Boling.
CopyTalk webinar: Section 108 video project

Starting in the late 1970s academic libraries built collections of VHS titles 
with an emphasis on supporting classroom teaching. On average, academic 
libraries have more than 3,000 VHS tapes.

Eclipsed by robust and rapid adoption of DVDs, the VHS era is now over. But a 
crisis is welling for libraries. Of the hundreds of thousands of VHS recordings 
commercially released, a substantial number never were released on DVD or in 
streaming format. To compound matters, industry experts estimate that various 
forces converge against VHS (age of tapes, irreparable and irreplaceable 
equipment, retirement of VHS technicians) ultimately making the format 
inaccessible by 2027.

Under Section 108 of U.S. Copyright law, libraries have an available remedy to 
this problem. The law allows duplication of some items if prior to duplication, 
a reasonable search determined that an unused copy of the title is not 
available.

This session presents a cooperative database, established to capture the search 
efforts for current distribution of VHS video titles, and to identify titles 
eligible for duplication under Section 108.

Our speaker will be deg farrelly, who has been a media librarian for 40 years, 
the last 25 at Arizona State University. He has played instrumental roles at 
multiple companies in the development of streaming video collections and 
licensing, including the first PDA, the first subscription and the first EBA 
models. Co-investigator of two national studies, The Survey of Academic Library 
Streaming 
Video
 (2013) and Academic Library Streaming Video 
Revisited
 (2015), farrelly writes and presents frequently on issues related to streaming 
video.

Thursday, January 5th at 2pm Eastern/11am Pacific for our hour long free 
webinar. Join us!

Go to http://ala.adobeconnect.com/copytalk/ and sign in as a guest. You're in.

This  free webinar program is brought to you by OITP's copyright education 
subcommittee. Space is limited, but all CopyTalk webinars are archived.

Re: [Videolib] Jane Otto's C article.

2016-08-03 Thread Moshiri, Farhad
The author recommends that in order to survive, libraries have to redefine 
their relationships with You Tube and other online video sources. But the 
problem is accessing most of these resources are illegal if one has to follow 
the copyright law. Since I act as our library's copyright advisor, besides 
being the AV librarian, I found myself trapped in what I'm teaching about 
copyright and what the faculty want to use in their classes that are all almost 
illegal.

Scott, thanks for suggesting this article, “University Faculty Describe Their

It made me think that, apart from my regular and active clients, I don’t know 
very much about faculty actually use moving images in their teaching. I would 
be interested in your faculty survey results, as well.
Did anyone else who read the article find her last paragraph disturbing?

“The largest issue, however, may be that faculty video users appear to be 
falling away. If libraries are to survive as players in this arena, they will 
have to redefine themselves. They must reexamine their relationship to YouTube 
and other online video sources. Are there ways in which libraries can 
facilitate access to the heavily used resources they don’t own, and never will? 
Will they choose to compete with online providers or identify new services to 
complement those of the Internet video sites? Libraries should stake out their 
territory, marshal their resources, focus their efforts, and get the word out.”

Anyone have any ideas on specific ways we can go about staking, marshalling, 
focusing, etc?

Similarly, in Spring '15 to capture some case studies as part of a streaming

Hi Farhad,

I think that the best practice for an institutional repository is to seek 
permission for materials where the submitting author of the University does not 
clearly own the copyright in the work. For example, I know that in the 
Scholarly Commons repository for the law school at Hofstra, permissions were 
sought for (for example) journal articles written by Hofstra faculty but 
published in scholarly legal journals not affiliated with Hofstra. For recorded 
events such as panels or conferences, permission must be obtained from 
participants prior to recording. I think that's pretty standard.

Georgetown has a pretty clear outline of their policies for inclusion: 
http://www.library.georgetown.edu/ir/policies

In terms of AV materials, similar policies would apply. If the video is 
produced by the University, to promote the University or whatever, the 
University probably retains copyright. But if you're looking at athletic 
events, music concerts, plays ... the University would need to develop and 
implement a permissions policy.

I think it really depends on the type of av material the repository would 
include.

Thanks Jessica. Yes, the repository will be fully searchable on google scholar. 
The students and the faculty have the rights to their works not the university. 
I’m also amazed that some universities use YouTube’s disclaimer in their rights

I am a little confused but I think the youtube "disclaimer " is definitely a 
bad idea

First it looks like most of this material would be from former or current 
student for faculty so surely you have the means to contact them directly and 
ask.

Second will this "repository" be fully searchable on say google so that one 
could type in subject or name and the material would just be accessible? I ask 
because that of course is how youtube works and if the item would not show up 
in a simple search on www than how would the person who created know it was 
there in order to object?

I really do not think you want to upset people connected to the school but 
digitizing and presumably making their material available without asking.

However is their some agreement by students and faculty that the school somehow 
owns their works or is free to make them available?

Nope that is why  I would hope all schools invest in them. Dubbing a film from 
PAL to NTSC to use it would be a violation of copyright which is why you should 
have the muli-system players.
It might be a good idea to check on titles from time to time to see if they 
have in fact had US release because there is often a lag between release in 
other regions. I don't really know if spending another $25 for an NTSC copy if 
you bought a PAL copy is worth it but do keep in mind that titles may become 
available in NTSC at a later date.

Re: [Videolib] No more DVDs? - OK / Not

Dear Jonathan,



It is unfortunate to see Bullfrog and Icarus Films have decided on losing many 
libraries with small AV budgets as their customers. Only large research 
libraries with big budgets can afford subscriptions to streaming video 
databases or licensing individual titles for a short period of time. This will 
certainly widen the gap between haves and have nots. I don't know why making 
DVDs on demand does not work for your companies and you prefer to loose some of 
your current customers.

Subject: [Videolib] No more DVDs? - OK / Not

I
’ve been snowed under by all the responses to my question! And I agree with 
Barb, one of the main things that we’ve known, but that has been brought home 
again here, is that no one size will fit all. I’ve been in this business (if it 
is a business) for over 35 years, and one thing I can say for sure: every year 
things get a bit more complicated.

In any case apparent from this discussion is that many of you, while 
acknowledging and, in most cases, accommodating the increasingly pervasive 
transition to digital delivery/streaming, DO want to have at least the option 
of also acquiring DVDs, whether as a back-up to loss of online access, and/or 
for the DVD’s utility in its own right – and the notion of subscribing (for one 
 year or three years or whatever short of forever) to individual films, or 
large collections, is a difficult trade off of missions, and money, at best.

Given that we (and I write here on behalf of both Bullfrog Films and Icarus 
Films) are on both sides of a complimentary sword, we have been talking about 
this the last two days, and have thought of an experiment that we would like to 
put forward:

What if, when you license a film for streaming online, or subscribe to an 
entire collection, you could then also acquire any of those films on DVD for 
half price? So, if you were to subscribe to The Docuseek2 Collection, you could 
then buy any Bullfrog Films or Icarus Films DVD, for 50% off, during the entire 
time your license or subscription is in place.

Would this make it practical for more libraries to address both imperatives of 
collection development?  Would it make the tradeoffs a little less difficult?

We’ve discussed that this may reduce aggregate sales by the “film distribution” 
companies, but it might also make the transitions underway on both sides of the 
equation smoother?

We would like to find out, and so we (both companies) will make this offer 
available until 12/31/15:

Any institution that is currently licensing The Docuseek2 Collection, or 
commits to licensing The Docuseek2 Collection by December 31, 2015 (whether 
with a basic subscription, or via DS2’s Evidence Based Acquisition program) 
will be able to purchase, while their license is in force, any title (from 
either Bullfrog Films or Icarus Films) that available from (or added to) The 
Docuseek2 Collection, at half price.

Both companies will leave this offer in place through the end of the year, and 
in January we will evaluate how it went (all of us together, hopefully) and 
whether or not we should continue, modify, or drop this idea.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts on this!

We’ll be very interested to see what happens.

Thanks again for all the comments, and best for now.

Dear Farhad
To be clear, we are not discontinuing DVDs, nor are we raising our prices for 
DVDs (in fact for over 35 years we have NEVER raised our prices, just the 
opposite). All we are doing really, in this experiment, is offering to lower 
the total costs for those libraries that do want, for whatever reason, to have 
both, streaming and DVDs.
 We certainly do not want to lose any customers, including you.
And if that turns out to be a result of this experiment, it certainly will be 
an argument against continuing it. I am not sure what that should be the case, 
but we will see!

We just ordered a DVD from your company last week. Recently, there has been

We develop our collection in both formats. We do have some streaming and we 
also have a large collection of DVDs. Students want only streaming. Faculty 
don't care what format is the program as long as there is an easy to use 
playback machine. They are interested in having access to specific contents 
only. We do not have a large budget for AV so if your company decides not to 
produce DVDs, we cannot subscribe to Docuseek2 instead and we are forced to 
tell our faculty that we no longer can get your programs. The problem for 
university libraries with small budget for AV is that we need individual 
programs from a variety of publishers. But each of these publishers are in a 
different streaming platform such as Docuseek2, Kanopy, Alexander Street Press, 
Infobase, etc. We are never able to subscribe to all of these services. But we 
are able to purchase individual DVDs from each of them as needed.

As many of you know Icarus Films has been helping to build, and currently has

access to our collection over the internet.

Yes, we continue to invest in producing and releasing DVDs of the same titles. 
And, as streaming usage increases, selling fewer and fewer of them.

It is making me wonder if we should stop selling DVDs altogether, not producing 
them at all for new films, and not ordering any more once we sell the last one 
of an older one.

What do you think would happen if we did that?

How many of you would definitely NOT buy or use a film that a professor or

streaming?

I'm serious in asking this question, I think it may be time to take a (perhaps) 
drastic step, and not another small incremental one.  What do you think?

Not if they are sold (licensed) for a short time. In addition, for AV 
librarians it is very difficult to manage access to streaming video title by 
title in a variety of platforms. We mostly prefer managing large databases.

Dear Jonathan,

We just ordered a DVD from your company last week. Recently, there has been 
discussion on this topic in this listserv. I can speak for my university only. 
We develop our collection in both formats. We do have some streaming and we 
also have a large collection of DVDs. Students want only streaming. Faculty 
don't care what format is the program as long as there is an easy to use 
playback machine. They are interested in having access to specific contents 
only. We do not have a large budget for AV so if your company decides not to 
produce DVDs, we cannot subscribe to Docuseek2 instead and we are forced to 
tell our faculty that we no longer can get your programs. The problem for 
university libraries with small budget for AV is that we need individual 
programs from a variety of publishers. But each of these publishers are in a 
different streaming platform such as Docuseek2, Kanopy, Alexander Street Press, 
Infobase, etc. We are never able to subscribe to all of these services. But we 
are able to purchase individual DVDs from each of them as needed.

Subject: [Videolib] No more DVDs?

Dear Videolib friends

As many of you know Icarus Films has been helping to build, and currently has 
over 300 titles on, Docuseek2, to provide colleges and universities streaming 
access to our collection over the internet.

Yes, we continue to invest in producing and releasing DVDs of the same titles. 
And, as streaming usage increases, selling fewer and fewer of them.

It is making me wonder if we should stop selling DVDs altogether, not producing 
them at all for new films, and not ordering any more once we sell the last one 
of an older one.

What do you think would happen if we did that?

How many of you would definitely NOT buy or use a film that a professor or 
collection development librarian wanted to have, if it was ONLY available via 
streaming?

I'm serious in asking this question, I think it may be time to take a (perhaps) 
drastic step, and not another small incremental one.  What do you think?  
Thanks!

Curiously yours,

Jonathan Miller

Subject: Exciting! American Archive of Public Broadcasting Launches With 7,000 
Programs Available to Stream Online


Note: Some very exciting news about a project we've been following for a few 
years and have posted about many times. Links to several background posts are 
found below today's news.

What's new today is that along with a formal launch is that some streaming 
content (approx. 7,000 programs and more to come) is available online via the 
American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) database. The database 
itself became available (with metadata only) 
during April 
2015.

Congrats to the AAPB Team!

>From Today's (October 27, 2015) Launch 
>Announcement:

With contributions from more than 100 public media organizations across the 
country, programs that for decades have gathered dust on shelves are now 
available to stream on the AAPB website. This rich 
collection of programs dating from the 1940s to the 2010s will help tell the 
stories of local communities throughout the nation in the last half of the 20th 
century and first decade of the 21st.

[Clip]

Initially launched in April 2015 with 2.5 million inventory records, the AAPB 
website has added nearly 7,000 audiovisual 
streaming files of historical content from public media stations across the 
country. The Library of Congress, WGBH Boston and the Corporation for Public 
Broadcasting have embarked on an unprecedented initiative to preserve 
historical public television and radio programs of the past 70 years.

The Content

Nearly 40,000 hours, comprising 68,000 digital files, of historical public 
broadcasting content have been preserved. On the website, nearly 7,000 of these 
American public radio and television programs dating back to the 1940s are now 
accessible to the public. These audio and video materials, contributed by more 
than 100 public broadcasting organizations across the country, are an exciting 
new resource to uncover ways that common concerns over the past half-century 
have played out on the local scene. Users are encouraged to check back often, 
as AAPB staff continue to add more content to the website. The entire 
collection of 40,000 hours is available for research on location at WGBH and 
the Library of Congress.

[Clip]

The collection includes interviews and performances by local and national 
luminaries from a broad variety of professions and cultural genres. Just a few 
examples of the items in the collection include: Pacifica Radio Archives' 1956 
interview with Rosa Parks during the Montgomery Bus Boycott; KCTS 9's 1999 live 
broadcast from the opening reception of the World Trade Organization's Seattle 
Summit; and New England Public Radio's 1974 debate between U.S. Rep. Martha 
Griffiths, sponsor of the Equal Rights Amendment, and Phyllis Schlafly, the 
main opponent of the ERA.

Thanks Bob. The problem is I've heard that using a personal home video in 
face-to-face classroom (purchased from Amazon or borrowed from Red Box, for 
example) falls into First Sale Doctrine. But using a database whether or not it 
is free or with subscription, falls under license agreement and the terms of 
use.

Just using logic, not law, since the Face to Face exemption allows you to use a 
personal home video in the classroom when the teacher is present, then it seems 
a streaming sight that allows personal access to all could be used in the 
classroom too. It would not infer PPR.  That is my guess.

No there is NO  3 minute rule. Fair Use has always been deliberately vague. You 
are supposed to use the minimum amount that will achieve your goal without 
compromising the heart of the work or the value to the rights holder. In this 
case I would say 99.9% you are fine but two potential issues.
Is this going to be an event that charges admission? This does not in anyway 
rule out "fair use" but it can raise the bar. The other issue is I think less 
legal than practical, I am going to assume you have a Disney version in the 
mix? They are notoriously litigious and often just best to avoid the trouble. I 
would also be careful to credit each version you use material from.

In general the type of thing you describe is what "fair use" was meant for, 
using portions of works to create a new work without harming the original works.

BTW sounds like a cool program! This summer I saw the Czech film “Alice” at a

We are doing a big ALICE in WONDERLAND promo gig (display, film and speaker).

The student working on the PR would like to use a scene from 5 different

We would then like to put it on the web (our library page, but it would be

In the world of ‘fair use’ and ‘remix’ can we do this legally?

Great discussion. Thanks everyone. As Jessica said, fair use is vague. That’s 
why we librarians, as a practical measure, follow “guidelines”. I would rather 
rely on the mostly accepted guidelines than just tell my faculty you can do

Hi Farhad,
Kenneth Crews at Columbia has written a fairly lengthy article on how Fair Use 
guidelines (including the CONFU guidelines to which the link you provided

tends to limit the application of Fair Use as described within the law, while 
not actually guaranteeing a "safe harbor".  You can find the full article here:

Too lazy to look up the exact wording but the law says can be considered

We want to set a default amount for replacement cost for our AV. I need to know 
if you have such a policy and if you do what is your default amount. We used to 
have the amount the same as the cost of the item. But we have been faced with a

expensive than when we bought them. Thanks.

Re: [Videolib] Netflix Streaming and Face-to-Face

2015-01-28 Thread Moshiri, Farhad
Dear Kim,

Your Scholarly Communications Librarian is right. Terms of service of these 
streaming companies say the subscription is for PERSONAL use only. The contract 
law (one's subscription is a contract) trumps 110. Our faculty ask me all the 
time what is the difference between bringing their own personal DVD from home 
or borrowing it from Blockbuster (if it still exists) and show it class with 
accessing their online subscription to Netflix or other services in class. The 
answer is purchasing a DVD (or borrowing it) falls under the Sales doctrine law 
and accessing streaming video falls under the contract law. In streaming 
subscription you're not purchasing anything. You're paying for a service and 
you're bonded with its terms of service.

Hi all,

Is there any consensus on the legality of faculty using their own person 
Netflix Streaming account in a face to face classroom situation. I have always 
assumed it was fine. Access was legally acquired and would fall under 110(1).

Another support department on my campus is saying, no, it’s not legal because 
Netflix’s terms of service trump 110. They are coming to this conclusion based 
on advice from an inhouse 
articlehttp://www.library.unt.edu/news/may-one-stream-netflix-video-class-use 
written by our Scholarly Communications Librarian.  I never saw eye to eye with 
this librarian on media related copyright issues, his interpretations do not 
necessarily reflect those of the  campus legal office AND he recently left the 
university.  So I’m trying to find something  else solid that addresses this 
issue.

I flipped back through Ciara Healy’s Library Trends article, but it doesn’t 
seem to address the copyright issue. Can anyone point me to something?

Thanks!

No, you are correct.

The AIME v UCLA case was dismissed based on UCLA's sovereign immunity from 
being sued, and AIME's lack of standing (AIME did not hold the copyright).
 Unfortunately, the judge hearing the case did not stop there and muddied the 
waters with points about UCLA having acquired PPR for the titles in question, 
and other points.  The the case was NOT decided based on merits.

Some have (incorrectly, in my opinion) interpreted the case as being a victory 
for libraries and essentially permitting digitization.  But long story short, 
there has been no case law established on either side of the issue of libraries 
digitizing without permission.

SOME libraries are applying a fair-use argument for digitizing legally acquired 
content for course reserve, bolstered in part by the ruling in the Georgia 
State University case.

Jane Hutchison and my research on the status of streaming video in academic 
libraries (to be presented at the National Media Market in November, and 
published in Against the Grain about the same time) includes some data on the 
extent of libraries digitizing from hard copies in their collections.

Subject: [Videolib] Libraries that stream their own titles

For those libraries such as U of Arizona who will take a physical dvd from the 
collection and stream for a blackboard course- can you share your policies and 
in-house procedures? I noticed Arizona has placed faculty requests fom 
streaming behind a login screen- anyone else do this too? Do you use handbrake 
or vlc player to rip to mp4, etc.? Thanks for any/all suggestions/links/etc.!

Cheers from Nebraska!

Subject: Re: [Videolib] Donation of DVDs and Publishers

I think it would depend on a few things. In theory a publisher/ distributor can 
require certain terms to be met in order to buy a film but they would pretty 
much have to either be spelled out in a signed contract or at least have one of 
those  I have read and agreed to these conditions kind of check out. It is 
clearly not illegal to use a legal copy in a classroom but the prof MAY be 
violating a contract and though I can't see it happening a distributor could 
ask for the copy back claiming it was illegally obtained.

I assume that the title is sold only directly by the publisher and not through 
third parties as that would pretty much negate any ability to enforce a 
contract. Just out of curiosity does the publishers site allege that 
institutions must obtain rights to use in classroom as  a matter of law or just 
have multiple prices without that detail.

I will leave the ethics side to you but I think in general that once a title is 
sold to individuals the cat is out of the bag.

When I told her that the publisher is asking us to purchase the DVD with

My question is that will the library have any legal problem if it accepts the

Re. the DVD that comes with the textbook and workbook for a language course—I 
can speak to that specific case because I run a language lab, aka language 
learning center, foreign language media resource, etc.

I think it is reasonable and even important to make available to the students 
on campus copies of the a/v media which accompany textbooks. This is a 
different case from just making the textbooks available, and quite different 
from workbooks.

20 years ago, language labs helped textbook  publishers ensure that students 
had access to “ancillaries”—the audio and video they needed to do their 
workbooks. The textbook publishers  gave them to us free (almost always) with 
permission to duplicate and/or display them as needed so that the students 
could  do their work. Publishers made their money (a lot of it) on the 
textbooks themselves and especially on the workbooks, which were printed on 
cheap paper and meant to be used up by the purchaser (no secondary market). I 
think there was some effort to ensure that, unlike say a Pimsleur course, these 
ancillaries were fairly meaningless without the purchase of a textbook and 
workbook.

They had a term for the audio/video and even software  drills, which meant “not 
expected to be sold for profit.”

Typically now the publishers  put the audio and video online themselves as part 
of an Online Activities Manual which may replace the old workbook. They control 
access to it—sometimes it is free, sometimes it requires the student to pay 
extra for a password good only for 1 year. Alternatively, they may package the 
textbook with CDs or DVDs; this can be problematic though because the media 
items can be damaged or go astray, particularly in the secondhand market. So it 
is indeed very handy to have copies available.

[Videolib] Streaming video question

A TGIF question!

Do Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, etc. have an educational institutions platform in 
which the video librarians can select and purchase videos and then their 
students and faculty can access those videos through log-in based on the 
institutions' IP addresses? This would be great if it exists or if it is 
possible at all to replace purchasing DVDs.

Not bloody likely. It would literally be impossible for them to clear rights to 
do this, and the technology would be daunting too. Now it would be interesting 
if a school were to say subsidize membership for students in classes where 
films on these sites were going to be studied.

Do Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, etc. have an educational institutions platform in 
which the video librarians can select and purchase videos and then their 
students and faculty can access those videos through log-in based on the 
institutions’ IP addresses? This would be great if it exists or if it is 
possible at all to replace purchasing DVDs.

Farhad,
There are all sorts of reasons films are not released in US/Canada though it is 
odd that a film about the US would be released in UK and not US. It could be 
anything from rights issues involving music, to it just not being worth the 
cost, to some grumpy rights holder. Obviously it is far more common with a 
foreign film but I do think a multi-system player is a must.
PS off topic but one American Feature film that has a rights issue in the US 
but not outside is Olson  Johnson's classic HELLZAPOPPIN  which can be bought 
outside the US  but copies sold in US are all crappy bootlegs. It is a strange 
world

Dear Collective Brain,

I have a women's studies professor who teaches a class about women's issues in 
world cinema every fall.  (Documentaries in the spring, so for this instance 
I'm appealing for help in the relatively recent feature film sector only 
please.)  So, here is my annual plea for brainstorming help on this nebulous 
topic.  Have you seen a feature film from a country outside the U.S. that deals 
with gender or women's issues in the past year or so?  Please note: MUST be a 
feature film (NO documentaries), and MUST be from 2010 or later.

Thanks in advance!

A faculty member is looking for a way to secure permission to stream the 
following three films to his online film studies class (he has the DVDs). He 
has contacted SWANK, Sony and Image Entertainment with no success. Do you know 
any other way? Thanks.

[Videolib] Is Streaming transformative?

2013-05-01 Thread Moshiri, Farhad
Dear Colleagues,

Yesterday, I attended a webinar on recent copyright court cases in which the 
presenter stated several points that confused me a lot since they were 
completely the opposite of what I've learned up to this day. I need your help 
to clarify these issues.


1.   The presenter stated that in the case of UCLA vs. Ambrose, the judge 
ruled that  changing the format of DVDs purchased legally with PPR to streaming 
video at UCLA is considered Transformative and so it falls into Fair Use ! 
As far as I know, this case was dismissed due to legal technicalities based on 
UCLA being a state run public institution and the ruling did not address the 
change of format issue. In addition, I don't understand what PPR has to do with 
change of format? Am I wrong?


2.   The presenter stated that copyright law, since it is a federal law, 
prevails over contract law which is under state law. So, digitizing books or 
transferring DVDs into streaming is fair use even if the contract with the 
publisher accepted by the consumer states otherwise!



3.   The presenter stated that the court said the 1976 Copyright Guidelines 
are not legally binding for standards of fair use!



4.   The presenter stated that using the same material (journal article, 
book chapters, etc.) for several consecutive semesters on reserves is ok and 
falls into fair use!


I've learned that one cannot change the format of videos without the copyright 
holder permission. The only exception according to DMCA would be short excerpts 
not the whole programs. Also, I have learned that if I accept or sign a 
contract with the publisher, I have to abide to its contents.

Thanks,

This person is so breathtakingly wrong it is hard to know where to start. 
Judith responded to some of it, but lets for a moment totally ignore the 
totally wrong assertions on copyright and go to the unbelievable claim that 
Federal Law trumps contract law WTF?? Really you mean that contract Paypall 
forced me to sign to give up all my rights as a consumer to complain to my CC 
or bring a case against them was not valid? Or ALL the times you sign and 
agree to a whole variety of issues to access web sites or other things? Unless 
someone requires to sign something that involves an illegal act  ( murder, 
buying weapons of mass destruction whatever) a contract ALWAYS trumps law 
Federal or local , that is why they have lawyers and contracts. If a company 
requires you to give up the right to use a film in a class as a term of sale 
than it is a CONTRACT and as long as it was clear when you purchased it ( you 
can't just stick it on a wrapper) and this contract  not copyright law is 
binding ( though it would not lead to many sales) Feel free to ask ANY lawyer 
you know about that staggeringly idiotic claim.
As pointed out by Judith the UCLA case had zero impact and provides zero 
precedent as it was tossed for issues of standing

The  1976 thing is equally nuts though it appears Judith traced the origin.
One important note re Georgia State Case. Publishers hated it and are 
understandably appealing. Among more controversial elements was the judge 
pretty much stating that fair use did not require any transformative use but 
what was largely ignored by the those cheering the decision was the judge also 
wrote that 10% was the maximum amount of any work she believed could be covered 
under fair use and she made it very clear that digitizing and streaming a 
whole book was not fair use ( remember GSU originally DID have whole books up 
but took them down quickly when sued) so I can't imagine how any one would use 
that case to claim digitizing and streaming a whole film was legal. Now fair 
use has always been intentionally vague on any specific amount yet this judge 
said 10% was the bright line and for those who champion the decision you can't 
just take the parts you like.  Personally I think it was a bad decision likely 
to be overturned on appeal but as someone involved in film distribution the 
bright line of 10% is fine with me.
I can't imagine that the person making the presentation was lawyer. Do you know 
their background?
Anyway I would certainly not want them to represent me in contract or copyright 
case

Unfortunately there is no way to know when any older film will come out until 
it is announced. TALES OF MANHATTAN is FOX and they did have it out on VHS so I 
would say eventually it will be out possibly in the made on demand type system 
many studios are using for older titles. I think SISTER KENNY may have rights 
issues. Normally as an RKO release it would be owned by Warner Bros who frankly 
would have put it out by now. I asked a friend there for the story so I will 
report back but I suspect it has complicated rights. Things are getting MUCH, 
MUCH better on studio library titles and both of these I would rate as 
significant titles but in general keep in mind studios have libraries of tens 
of thousands of films and not all of them will make it to DVD.

Good Luck

Re: [Videolib] A Distributor's Response

2013-02-26 Thread Moshiri, Farhad
I would like to thank the staff of New Day Film for their contribution to the 
never ending discussion of tiered pricing of educational video programs. But I 
want to try to break the myth of educational institutions ability to afford 
this pricing system. I have been the audiovisual librarian at a small private 
university for over ten years. I believe the main problem is that publishers 
and distributors of educational video programs treat all universities and 
colleges the same not recognizing the huge differences in library budgets 
between a well founded large university and a small university with little 
money for its AV resources. We use an allocated formula for our library budget 
so all disciplines can get something for their instruction resources. The 
allocated amount for each discipline hardly gives them the ability to purchase 
1 or 2 video programs for the whole year with the current institutional pricing 
the publishers and distributor have set for their programs. In most cases, when 
our faculty, looking for a quality program on a specific subject for their 
field, become aware of the pricing, ask me to find a commercial popular feature 
film on the same subject instead of the quality educational program because 
they need several programs for their courses each year and cannot afford buying 
one or two high priced programs. Sometimes I feel that publishers and 
distributor are living in another world or on an ivory tower and do not see 
what is going on economically in our educational system. I completely 
understand the cost of producing a quality film and the small number of 
customers that makes the filmmaking expensive. But we should find a way to see 
the other side's point of view too.

Subject: [Videolib] A Distributor's Response

We'd appreciate your adding this to the conversation with regard to 
Institutional and Home DVD Pricing:

We wanted to share our perspective on the recent spate of emails on the list 
serve about the topic of tiered pricing connected to one of the titles in our 
collection. When filmmakers complete a film, they look for the best 
opportunities to distribute their work to different markets and usually work 
with different distributors who hold rights to different types of markets. New 
Day Films, as many of you know, is a cooperative distribution company that 
distributes to the educational market, which includes university and college as 
well as public library, K-12 and community organizations.
If a filmmaker affiliates with New Day, that means that New Day has the film's 
rights to the educational market for his or her film.  New Day, like most other 
distribution companies, has a tiered pricing system. The cost per film for 
academic institutions is higher, for example, than the cost to a community 
group or a high school. New Day is responsible for educational sales, but other 
types of sales, including sales to individuals, are handled differently by each 
individual filmmaker. Most of our members have some other arrangement in place 
to sell their films to home or individual users, and those prices are typically 
much lower.
The assumption behind the range of prices is that academic institutions will be 
able to use their copy of the film for years to come, showing it multiple 
times, to large numbers of students. The assumption behind the home user prices 
is that it is for one person or family to use. We understand it is not illegal 
to purchase a DVD intended for home use from Amazon and use it in the 
classroom, but independent filmmakers survive because of the honor system that 
Anthony Anderson wrote about in his post. If our higher-ed customers stopped 
paying the institutional rates, independent filmmakers would never be able to 
continue producing the high quality films on social issues that faculty and 
students depend on.
We always are open to finding a solution to pricing concerns so that our films 
get used and shown. We also have developed different options for digital 
streaming licenses to accommodate the institution that only intends to use a 
film one or two times. We always are looking for ways to creatively work with 
the video librarian field to fine tune product delivery and pricing structures 
that work for higher ed and for the filmmaker.  We hope this helps to explain 
the tiered pricing approach that many independent filmmakers use.


Re: [Videolib] A Distributor's Response

2013-02-26 Thread Moshiri, Farhad
I'm with Susan on this and I, too advocate a FTE-based pricing by video 
publishers and distributors. I also want to mention that we have to recognize 
that audiovisual materials are not on top priority in any academic institution. 
AV is always behind databases of journal articles and books at least in 
majority of disciplines. So any time a library is trying to manage its budget, 
the AV is usually the loser. Video publishers should take this into 
consideration that we do not have a gold mine. We are trying our best, as Susan 
says, to provide as much as we can to our faculty and students with what we get 
from our library managers at the end of the line after databases, books, 
e-books, etc.

Subject: Re: [Videolib] A Distributor's Response

Okay, okay, if you insist, Anthony. ;)

A couple of points I'm trying to make:


1)  VERY little is offered in print-only format any longer in the journal 
world.  Our periodicals mgr. said that the American Institute of Physics does, 
for instance, offer 6 tiers for their print + online titles.  And for those 
journals we are likely to still get in print only - popular titles such as 
Rolling Stone or Time - we pay the same rate as an individual would.  As you 
already noted, once we get into online access, there is typically all manner of 
tiering or pricing based upon FTE.



2)  The other point for me is the issue of limited budget. I get that a 
large university is purchasing films for a tremendous number of faculty and 
students.  However, consider this, please.  You know how Choice creates it's 
Outstanding Academic Titles each year, which are those books it feels are 
essential and should be in all or most academic libraries?  While there is no 
such list for films, there ARE a couple of similar-idea lists - ALA's Notable 
Videos and Video Librarian's Best of the Year list.  Let's say these are 
similar to Choice's Outstanding Title book list in that they contain items most 
libraries really ought to own.  Let's say there are 30 titles between the two 
lists.  Let's say, as you are suggesting one ought to do in an academic 
library, we purchase them at the institutional/educational rate, even when 
they're available from the retail market at home use level.  I think it's fair 
to say that institutional-level documentaries average $250 a pop, no?  So 30 
titles X $250 for the films that pretty much any academic library will want to 
own in order to have a solid base collection = $7,500.

My point is this:  for a university the size of USC or Northwestern or Columbia 
or NYU, $7,500 is likely a drop in the bucket in order to have that base upon 
which to build.  For a small liberal arts college the size of Wabash or Kenyon 
or Davidson or Bowdoin (I'm going through my daughter's most-wanted list right 
now), that $7,500 is likely a LARGE percentage of the annual budget.  Just 
buying that base of core titles that all libraries ought to have now means 
there's  a lot of stuff I have to pass up.  *If,* however, I can buy half of 
those 30 DVDs at home use level through Amazon, because they're there and 
because we likely don't need PPR, I will now have to spend (15 X $250) + (15 X 
$25) = $4,125.  I've now freed up $3,375, which will go a long way out of my 
$12K-$15K annual budget to buy additional documentaries, popular features, etc.

Does it not make sense why I advocate for an FTE-based or 
type-of-academic-institution-based pricing mechanism?

[Videolib] Public Performance Rights for Clips?

One of our faculty members wants to give a speech for an event at the 
university. She knows she needs to get public performance rights for videos she 
wants to show during her speech. But she is asking if she wants to show only 
clips less than three minutes each from several documentaries and feature films 
during her speech, does she still have to get public performance rights for 
each of them? She is using both DVDs from the library collection and her 
personal DVDs, none of which comes with public performance rights. The event is 
open to the university community free of charge and the university is a 
non-profit educational institution. Thanks.

[Videolib] Change of format

2012-10-12 Thread Moshiri, Farhad
I'm sure many of you had the same experience as I: your IT Department people 
would come to the library and tell you why are you collecting all these DVDs, 
CDs, VHS tapes? Transfer them all to streaming video or audio and put them 
online with log-in access protection. When I reply that copyright law does not 
let you change the format without the copyright holder's permission, they tell 
me show us the law. They say even if it is in the law, it falls into fair use 
for non-profit educational institution. Can you direct me to the exact place in 
the law that talks about change of format and its exceptions? Also, yesterday 
one of them told me a federal judge has ruled that scanning books is not 
against copyright law. He said there is no difference between scanning a print 
book and put it online and transferring a DVD, CD, or a VHS to streaming video 
or audio. What do you think? Thanks.

Well, maybe you could bring in a couple of table lamps, a nice area rug, and

Strictly speaking, what you're proposing doing constitutes public performance, 
and therefor requires rights. On the other hand, depends on how risk-averse you 
are and what it is that you're thinking of screening.
If it's Bullfrog or Video Project or another indie distributor, I'd bet a nice

just go ahead and do it (unless it's a Disney film). Seems like the risk of mad

It is currently available, along with a lot of Criterion films, on Hulu Plus.

Institutional streaming licenses are not available at this time.  I do hope 
you will find helpful that many of our titles can be streamed on Hulu 
(http://www.hulu.com/criterion).  Additionally anyone signing-up on Hulu Plus 
with a .edu email address will get their first month free of charge.

I would assume that the instructor could use a subscription to show it in the 
classroom, but that students would have to buy a subscription to watch at home. 
This is not a bad deal for film majors.The trick is that not all Criterion 
films are available all the time. Maybe Hulu could guarantee that a particular 
one would be available for a particular term.

There appears to be a small handful of titles available in the commercial

[Videolib] PPR vs. Fair use question

Dear all,

I'm sure this has been discussed here before. But I need to refresh my memory. 
If a faculty at a university wants to establish an educational group or a club 
(like a book club) inside his department and the members are all students at 
the university and wants to show films for that group, does it fall in fair use 
category and the films do not need PPR or does it constitute a public 
performance? Does it matter if the films are documentaries or feature films? 
Members of the group are registered for that group that works like a course but 
there is no credit for it. Thanks.

And what constitutes Catholic themes.  Is it sufficient to have characters 
who are in religious orders as principle characters?  Or should there be some 
stronger connection to dogma?

[Videolib] US release of 1 Giant Leap: What about me?

2011-01-31 Thread Moshiri, Farhad
Does anyone know when the DVD: One Giant Leap: What about me? (2008) will be 
available in this country? There is a 2002 DVD: One Giant Leap available. But 
what about the 2008 one?

Thanks,
