Not legal at all but many companies are sloppy. This one has been up a LONG time but there are OTHERS as well. It is really hard sometimes to keep pulling stuff down from youtube. Once I pulled down a film that had not even been released in the US and youtube replaced it with a statement that rights holder had forced them to remove it only with snarkier wording as if it was bad to pull something illegal off. Just serf those sites that complain about copyright "maximalists" . Basically it is YOUR ( right holder / distributor) if your film is posted on the web because you should have had a better "model". Apparently unless you give your film away for free or perhaps pay people to watch it you are a greedy copyright holder.

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.
