PBS had two prices for their dvds: PP and HV Their statement reads: Videos with limited public performance rights may be shown in a classroom screened by a public group that is not charged for the viewing, or transmitted on a closed circuit system within a building or on a single campus. Videos with home rights may be viewed only in a home or in a face to face classroom situation as part of a systematic educational program.
I know this has been gone over before, but why would one buy the PP version if only using in class – just in case one wanted to show in a theater setting? More problematic is the ripping of segments or whole film for LMS remote viewing by students which is a fair use discussion we’ve gone over ad nauseum….

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.
