Hi, Merle - Speaking on behalf of New Day Films and probably every filmmaker who sells to the academic market, the reason we price our films as we do is specifically FOR classroom use. Home viewing or personal use means you watch a film privately, while academic pricing is intended to accommodate years of use by potentially hundreds of students. ³Fair use² doesn¹t come into play here because the seller specifically states what rights are for sale through each purchase. And it is the seller, not the purchaser, who determines what rights are for sale.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
