I'm not sure how they can control this, but I do know that more often than
in the past we receive a call or e-mail from a distributor when we purchase
a DVD on Amazon. Essentially they tell us we must purchase an
institutional version or sign a license. So there is some relay of

Is this regular Amazon or an Amazon store? It would really depend on the
check out. Unless they have a sort of I have read and agree to these

This is a topic which has come repeatedly come up here on this list.
Personally I believe that if you are at a university or college, and wishing to
procure a particular
documentary film, it is best to always order it from the distributor authorized
to sell the film to the
institutional market.
Here is an example:

Anthony,
I LOVE your support of documentary films but an increasing number are not
exactly indie. I see no reason to pay $300 for SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN
unless you need PPR or streaming. The bigger point is that filmmakers
distributors can't have it both ways in terms of selling cheap copies on
Well good luck enforcing this. I am not going to check out but without a
contract this is meaningless.

Jessica! It is USC's policy to endeavor to always order all documentaries (and
we order a lot!) at the institutional
price. But then perhaps USC is a special case because (among other things) its:
* Close proximity to the film industry
* Large size
* Perceived wealth
*
This discussion brings up an interesting question: are there other
institutions like USC that try to buy the documentary at the
institutional price, even when it is available at a cheaper one?
Just (highly) curious!
Best wishes,

We used to do this (though, at the time, those of us doing the actual
selection, but not the ordering, didn't know it), I think because it was either
easier, or seemed less risk averse. After much conversation, I believe I was
able to change our practice (though I am not longer in charge of
To my knowledge, no MUSIC HUNTER clients have had to deal with this issue.
ALL of the various labels that we distribute know that our clients are
