Hello Farhad Moshiri, I have not seen such a platform on Amazon. If you decided to purchase an Amazon.com download title, it would come with licensing restrictions--
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=atv_dp_tou?ie=UTF8&nodeId=200026970 --which limit use of the video to " a private viewing for you and your invitees." Use of a download by students in a class appears to be not allowed. We contacted Hulu.com in March 2013 to ask about library access. They informed us that "the agreements with our content providers limit viewing of Hulu content to personal, non-commercial use only." I have no information about NetFlix. Michael S.

I thought so. The main point is having access to only videos the library selects. Individual memberships do not limit the access to specific videos. In addition, I'm not talking about public performance. These videos would be accessed from home or in class. But I do agree there are a lot of problems. Just a Friday thought!

It would literally be impossible for them to clear rights to do this, and the technology would be daunting too. Now it would be interesting if a school were to say subsidize membership for students in classes where films on these sites were going to be studied.

Do Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, etc. have an educational institutions platform in which the video librarians can select and purchase videos and then their students and faculty can access those videos through log-in based on the institutions' IP addresses? This would be great if it exists or if it is possible at all to replace purchasing DVDs.
