Hey I am all for that. I think some of their documents are on the AIME site.I can tell for a fact that 99% of the films they streamed did not have Public Performance Rights. Again the list of films they admitted to streaming as of over a year ago was in the 1700 range and included tons of Hollywood feature films, Foreign Films, Classic films and educational documentaries. They did not specifically indicate if they had streamed all those films in their entirety, but their claim was they had the right to and had clearly done it.
I would really love to hear someone from UCLA talk about the list of films and how they did it.

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.
