Whoops, I meant to include this -- the email address for Stephen McArthur: [email protected] That much I'm guessing is kosher to send along.

The gentleman's name is Stephen McArthur, and he lists both WMS and Multicultural Media in his signature line (www.worldmusicstore.com and www.multiculturalmedia.com ). I think MCM came first and then expanded into WMS. Anyway, I've never seen these products offered by another company. Is there a reason why you're concerned about WMS/MCM's permission to sell, or have you found them available elsewhere? To contact WMS, you can use the 'contact us' email address for customer support, which is [email protected] . Nowhere could I find a phone number on the website but I do now have one for Stephen. Is it kosher to give out people's cell phone numbers here, Gary? I'll do it if it is!

I have been looking all over and I am not convinced that the company out there selling it for $1,200 or $1,500 actually have copywrite permission to these films.

Eleanor Roosevelt -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Susan Albrecht Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2011 11:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Videolib] VHS to DVD Actually... we had the whole set of JVC World Anthology of Music & Dance, as well as the Smithsonian Folksways set, on VHS, and even though the website doesn't indicate it, they do have DVD(-R)s now. We've had to order replacements a LOT over the past 3-4 years, as the VHS tapes seem to be expiring almost as if they were Mission: Impossible tapes set to self-destruct at a specified time. When I ordered the first couple of replacements, I was surprised to open the packages and find they were DVDs. I had not specified a desire to have DVDs, nor did the website indicate that that's what they were sending, but each time I've gotten a replacement, it's been DVD. The issue of the NUMBER which have needed to be replaced is another matter. Like I said, it's almost as though they had a shelf life of 7 -8 years or something and they're all biting the dust nearly simultaneously (perhaps out of commiseration with their fellows, I don't know). I've had some phone & email conversations with the man who runs World Music Store, whom I wanted to convince to give me a price break on the DVD replacements, since we had paid for both VHS sets not too many years ago. In the end, he has agreed to that. If anyone wishes his contact info, let me know.

Alas, they only offer the DVD-R which is likely not chaptered and there was no price break for those who invested in the $1000+ original set on VHS.
