I wholeheartedly disagree. There are 2 issues here: obtaining a video to meet a faculty member's need and applying section 108 to make a copy of that video. After diligently looking, it's been determined that the only sources for this video are used VHS. If the library purchases a video for i

Greetings, everyone I second this interpretation by Deg. There is nothing in 108 that specifies a film must "already be in the collection" (if that were the case, then already in the collection since... when?). There is so much misinformation about this stuff, especially, at times, from certai

I third this interpretation by Deg and Terry. It is important to read the law for yourself because sometimes there is misinformation on this list and with content providers. Jo Ann Jo Ann Reynolds Reserve Services Coordinator Homer Babbidge Library University of Connecticut 369 Fairfield Road,

I happen to agree with Terry and deg except for this: "Copyright law has shifted far far to the side of protections for content creators." That's just not true and Jo Ann, this would also be an example of misinformation. Access has never been cheaper (anyone remember $2000 for a 16mm *lease*?) be

Points well taken, Dennis. It is true that copyright law is becoming more, not sure what the correct description would be, contentious?, visible?, but as ill understood as ever. My agreement was with the Section 108 issues and the misinformation that swirls around Section 108 (but also extends

Dennis, Just because “people” are breaking laws doesn’t mean the laws don’t exist and are not heavily weighted for content creators. Your “test” is disingenuous, and no test at all. Watching a video, even one put up illegally, is not, AFAIK, a crime. Rephrase your question: how many of us in

I think this is true for the massive pirating culture but I think the situation for libraries is about to change radically which despite everything I think is very scary. As both institutions and distributor shift to digital access most of these discussions will if you will excuse the phrase become

Terry, First, I really don't holler. It's not my style. I'm not pointing out that you are breaking the law by watching a Bowie video. Just the fact that there's a *vast* amount of illegal videos out there and they have become a fact of life. When we want to watch a scene from a movie, we don't go
