Issues of access to streaming should be covered by licenses agreed to by both sides. I have been advising filmmakers/ rights holders to restrict streaming to currently enrolled students & active faculty and staff.
Marta's question about access outside the US is one I have been thinking about. Since rights are often determined by territory I will advise filmmakers to put something in the contract resting rights to purchasers country. This may be an issue for some institutions and will have to be negotiated but again many American distributors do not hold any rights outside the US ( sometimes but not always Canada). It is clearly important that these issues be spelled out in a licensing agreement.

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.
