Do you have a link? As a practical matter the only way you could NOT use it would be if at the point of purchase there were one of those "I have read and agree to these conditions" type boxes to check and the terms specified the DVD could only be used for individual/home use.

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.
