Actually this terminology is great for those of us working under
Canadian copyright law.
We do use, "educational public performance" wording when we request that
permission from
U.S. vendors. Perhaps that's where this vendor is coming from...
They are sick and tired of having us ask for the permission that US
Copyright already allows.

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.
