I mean if it "fair use" for films than who needs to pay for books ( or librarians)?

I and Punxsutawney Phil should be coming out by February. Having just spent $750+ on my son's text books for his freshman courses, I appreciate Jessica's suggestion of digitizing professor's text books much more. $300 for a text book that they'll never use after the semester versus $10 for a DVD of Casablanca that's "too expensive" for a professor's students to buy even though its ten times better quality than streaming and comes with context and content. And for those in the group who don't know, deg and I are friends and I'm not disagreeing with him at all. He's just stating the facts. I'm just partaking of gallows humor -- I don't know if there's such a thing as a Grapefruit Margarita and to be honest, Punxsutawney Phil and I stopped going out to bars together when he discovered that I had to use Google to spell his name correctly.

The AIME v UCLA case was dismissed based on UCLA's sovereign immunity from being sued, and AIME's lack of standing (AIME did not hold the copyright). Unfortunately, the judge hearing the case did not stop there and muddied the waters with points about UCLA having acquired PPR for the titles in question, and other points. The the case was NOT decided based on merits. Some have (incorrectly, in my opinion) interpreted the case as being a victory for libraries and essentially permitting digitization. But long story short, there has been no case law established on either side of the issue of libraries digitizing without permission. SOME libraries are applying a fair-use argument for digitizing legally acquired content for course reserve, bolstered in part by the ruling in the Georgia State University case. Jane Hutchison and my research on the status of streaming video in academic libraries (to be presented at the National Media Market in November, and published in Against the Grain about the same time) includes some data on the extent of libraries digitizing from hard copies in their collections. -deg farrelly deg farrelly ShareStream Administrator/Media Librarian Arizona State University Libraries Tempe, AZ 85287-1006 602.332.3103<tel:602.332.3103> On 9/29/14 11:36 AM, "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > >It is my understanding that according to the copyright law, you?re not >allowed to change the format of audiovisual materials without permission. >The famous case of Berkeley vs. Ambrose Video was dismissed due to >technicalities and Berkeley being a state institution.
