Helen, I don't know which places this works, but one place it rarely works is eBay. Most regular places do in fact take a regular CC but not all. I work on two films where Paypal is the only credit card option ( both do accept checks and even purchase order numbers). On Tue, Oct 4, 2011 at 9:17

It would be very unlikely the on line free DVD included PPR rights especially if it is sold separately with them. In general unless something says PPR, it probably does not have it, including online items at least those under copyright. There are now a number of titles on line for free through

I found this a particularly interesting summation (from the Duke blogger): What solace the higher education market can take from this case is in a few lines in which the judge seems to accept without discussion two assertions - that streaming is not a distribution such as to infringe the

I think you need to keep in mind that that section applied only to films sold with PPR and UCLA was streaming thousands of standard films. The problem is none of those rights holders got involved. Also I suspect that from now on any company selling films with PPR will add to their contract that no

it is a very common confusion but the fact that an item is available on line without charge and that you show it without charge actually makes no difference in terms of copyright law. Any public performance requires permission of a rights holder. There was a time when there was in fact a crackdown

Honestly that makes no sense to me anyway. You don't need PPR for any film being PHYSICALLY shown or used in library or class. It is almost always meant for the ability to show it OUTSIDE of a class. In this case I think the PPR is a red herring here. It makes the c this case and the judgement

OK I am totally confused. Are they adding or limiting rights? I work mainly with filmmakers directly for very small distributors who basically can not afford (at least now) and delivery system of their own, but since they own the film they can pretty much sell any rights they want forever and for

Weird language. The other part though is not true. Virtually all of the studio titles streamed by UCLA could have been licensed through Swank and many of the others could have been gotten as well. However this would be another red herring as I don't think the but it is not available for streaming
