Here's a scenario that I don't think we've run across before: The library purchased a VHS video art tape from Electronic Arts Intermix with the usual limited PPR. A student wants to exhibit the piece continuously as part of her MFA thesis show, and because an exhibition copy with rights

Gary, Thanks for speaking on behalf of us librarians. I wish there were a way to educate filmmakers and film distributors about not only the legalities, but also the realities, of pricing for the library market. It's simple accounting: libraries can make more films accessible to their
