As you know this is ruling I was waiting for and while it may be interpreted by some as largely a victory for GSU re publishers, it is a HUGE "win" for media rights holders. With all due respect Deg you were the one who repeatedly claimed that "fair use" could be used to cover an entire work despite the fact that there has been a ton of legal precedent saying it does not but now there is a major federal court ruling involving a University that sets the bar at 10% which I believe is fine with the majority of rights holders. I don't have the energy to go in to detail here ( and what the hell are you doing up so early) but after the wild claims that one could digitize and stream a feature film that various library organizations have been stating lately this is a fantastic ruling. but actually kind of a no brainer since again it is well established that "fair use' is for using a LIMITED PORTION of a work.

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.
