I can't access this but it is important to remember that the UCLA case was dismissed on what are basically technical grounds involving "standing" and the actual license that Ambrose had issued. Keep in mind no other company whose work had been streamed was a party to the case. Bottom line is that it did not really decide anything regarding copyright or "fair use" and ironically is nearly a 180 degrees different from the GSU case which ruled that anymore than 10% of a work ( yes books but copyright and "fair use" do not change by format on this kind of issue).
Since I can't access the Chronicle case here is another article on same http://www.libraryjournal.com/lj/home/892274-264/major_copyright_case_against_ucla.html.csp On Mon, Nov 26, 2012 at 8:55 AM, Philip Hallman <phall...@umich.edu> wrote: > > > > Forwarding this to anyone that might not have already read it this morning: > > > > > http://chronicle.com/article/Judge-Throws-Out-Lawsuit-Over/135932/?cid=wc&utm_source=wc&utm_medium=en > > -- > > > > > > -- > Philip Hallman > Film Studies Librarian > Dept of Screen Arts & Cultures / Hatcher Graduate Library > 105 S.

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.
