Jessica & list members I always give academic libraries 2 prices one for institutional second for PPR. Also on our web-site both fees appear and additional fee for streaming. Our film ........ has been purchased by 100 libraries all except 3 purchased PPR, as many of the customers are from libraries that take part in this list and are aware of the face to face regulations yet choose PPR. The few clients that wanted streaming paid PPR + streaming fee. Other films that we distribute mostly were sold only at institutional fee. I'm a small distributer . I don't make up the educational market rules, I just abide to them. Its time that ALA will make clear rulings on streaming, till then my opinion is that streaming to full university audience is a Public Performance. Streaming to small group say just to 30 persons a film about Bolivian baskets should be discussed separately between the library & the distributer, Our message is Peace, Shalom, Salaam Cheers

PPR and Streaming are different rights. Most streaming contracts allow any current student or faculty access to a particular title. I learned early on from librarians that trying to limit access to students in a particular class was insane. PPR is for a public showing of a film and frankly in 90% of cases it is sort of red herring. The vast majority of schools have no need for PPR on the vast majority of titles. There are certainly important exceptions of films that students or faculty might actually want to program ( and unlike Nahum I am not shilling titles but I represent a few that are regularly shown on campus) but mostly there is little interest in programming the documentary on basket weaving co-operative in Bolivia. PPR dates back to 16mm and Beta tape etc , it really was just thrown in because the prices are so high but again it is a separate from streaming and OF course streaming is not just for "face to face" situations that is the whole point of purchasing the right to stream a title. If it was used "face to face" they would not need streaming rights. Lastly Nahum is it possible to discuss an issue WITHOUT mentioning your film over an over? Videolib is for discussing general issues and other than someone asks for suggestions on titles for particular subject it is inappropriate to mention your film, your prices etc. Jessica Rosner On Sat, Aug 16, 2014 at 11:58 AM, nahum laufer <[email protected]> wrote: > > Jane > I want to disagree with you, institutional rights are for face to face > use or private physical screening, "Streaming licence allows from > password protected site for our students and staff and is not shown > publically maybe is correct" . > Yet as people not connected with the subject, so anyone of the > faculity, students, including MOOC students to see the film, most > cases the screening is not in a face to face situation, so the demand > that the purchase will include PPR is legimate, it's a public showing > to all the university The differrance between institution fee for our > film (One Day After Peace) is ($250) & PPR ($300) and we ask $100 > for unlimited streaming rights, Other films it will be $350 The > example Deg quoted is overpriced, and the vendor doesn't want to sell. > Cheers > > Nahum Laufer > http://onedayafterpeace.com/index.php > http://docsforeducation.com/ > Sales > Docs for Education > Erez Laufer Films > Holland st 10 > Afulla 18371 > Israel -- Jessica Rosner Media Consultant 224-545-3897 (cell) 212-627-1785 (land line) [email protected] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment scrubbed and removed.

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.
