I believe there is some question whether the rules apply to cable Vs over the air TV as I think it was originally applied only to "free TV' . Personally I have no issue with applying the same guidelines to cable, but like many things the actual wording is outdated.

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.
