I meant to post something on this. I think it is similar to problem where the DMCA was in direct conflict with fair use in terms of using clips and that got sorted by LOC which made it clear you could break encryption for clips.
I think the only issue here would be that if you close caption a copy then the original is pretty much locked away since you can't have two copies from one ( if it is cheap enough you could buy a 2nd one). This may be standard policy anyway not my area. I always feel guilty when asked for permission to CC a film I rep, the permission is always given but we never have a script or translation available that can be used so libraries have to start from scratch. I have always wondered if there was some database on this so once a library does it another library can at least borrow the script.

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.
