There was an NPR interview with one of the people involved and it was very, very funny. When asked what happens after six strikes and warnings, the person replied that, well, nothing happens. So the idea is if you are more flagrant, they will have no option but to stop taunting you.

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.
