Thanks for posting. Some interesting discussion of this on line. Indeed this is not "video" but since this case along with the Georgia State case which also involved written rather than video works revolves on what / how much of work can be used under "fair use" it is on point. There is no legal distinction regarding "fair use" between written works or visual works in terms of how they are treated . There are copyright issues specific to media ( Face to Face) but "fair use" cuts across all formats.
FYI as a point of interesting trivia I know Dennis will appreciate one of the 3 author/plaintiffs is none other than Jim Bouton the somewhat infamous ex baseball player whose book BALL FOUR is sports classic.

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.
