Here's a message I sent out a while back on the Prisoner's of Silence video:
"What I have learned, and I am quite confident in this information, is that the video is no longer available for purchase. (Certainly, if you discover otherwise please let me know.) As I was told, "The rights to the program have expired and, therefore, it cannot be distributed in any way." Without going into all the details, PBS has apparently decided not to "re-up" the rights to elements of the video that have expired such as music and stock footage that would cost them money to reacquire.
So, no one can distribute the video. However, I understand that you can make personal copies. So, if you are concerned that the videotape will eventually degrade you can copy it to a DVD or some other format to preserve it for a longer time. And, if you don't currently have a copy, you can borrow one from your library or other source. Highly recommended!"
However, the video is available for rental from Classroom Technology Services at Indiana University at http://www.indiana.edu/~cts/. Rental costs appears to still be $13.40 + S&H for 3-5 days.

PBS headquarters no longer offers it for sale. I think that it's still quite timely, but our library's VHS copy is rapidly deteriorating, and unless I can find a copy to purchase I don't know how long I can continue to use the material. Does anyone either know where a copy is still available for purchase, or (perhaps the long shot) know how to get PBS to reissue it?

I guess you don't fully read and digest and store away someplace in the netherlands of your memory, all TiPS discussions ;) We had a rather interesting discussion about this when Syracuse hired as it's dean of the school of education Douglas Biklen, a proponent of FC. Should be in the archives. Wikipedia has a nice summary of the current state of affairs. Annette ps: then again, my memory has been really failing me lately, c.f., the discussion of Anne Murray versus Helen Reddy; so maybe the FC discussion was on PsychTeach....
