You missed the memo Mike. You can copy and stream any film or book ever made or published so long as a professor tells you he needs it. ARL etc have said so and you longer have to worry about actual copyright law or numerous legal cases that say otherwise.
I am in an especially snarky mood today. I just found a major academic institution has "scheduled" an open campus showing of a film JUST BEING released in theaters and not available on DVD ANYWHERE in the world. I am sure ARL, PAT & Michael will find a way to justify that as well. After it is part of "educational" institution and sponsored by faculty.

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.
