Jessica said: For the record not only did UCLA stream titles they had no right to , they also used crappy copies in many cases. They could not even be bothered to buy a recent DVD so they streamed 20 plus year old videos. I am sure they looked like utter crap but given the rest of their attitude I doubt they cared.
Perhaps they were looking at the question of contravening copy protection codes on DVDs. In other words, ripping a DVD is less legal than ripping a VHS tape because most tapes do not have copy protection...? Judy
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.
