OK I am totally confused. Are they adding or limiting rights? I work mainly with filmmakers directly for very small distributors who basically can not afford (at least now) and delivery system of their own, but since they own the film they can pretty much sell any rights they want forever and for the most part they seem OK with selling the rights for a school to put it on whatever system they want so long as it is password protected.
I think the big "divide" will be how educational distributors handle this Vs more traditional feature films owned mainly by studios, large European companies etc. On Tue, Oct 4, 2011 at 2:07 PM, Elliott, Curleen <[email protected]>wrote: > The waters for specific rights from vendors of video media will definitely > become more crowded.

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.
