With all due respect I think that is a terrible and misleading title. I don't even think those claiming the right do digitize and stream films for students in classes would use the term " Public Performance Rights" which inevitably refers to showing a film to the public in public. Ironically I think the presenter is falling for the misleading information or set up used by some distributors who try to claim that an exempt "face to face" classroom use requires a PPR license. The much more contentious question and which IS in legal dispute is the use of films OUTSIDE the physical classroom and whether there is some special exemption that covers that under some reading of "fair use". I realize it is just the title and I presume the usual issues will come up, but I think it starts with a false premise of some kind.

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.
