Wow I actually thought the case was dead and that Georgia State had backed off it's position that posting the material on line was "fair use" . I thought they were strictly fighting over damages and access to documents. Should be very interesting

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.
