While I enjoy the back and forth on streaming fair use interpretation (and by all means please continue), I would also be interested in shifting the discussion somewhat to the future of educational media/independent film distribution.
This is more of a pragmatic than legal interpretation issue. Just a provocation here... Like many campuses, I suspect, we are likely looking at a 1 to 3 year window (5 tops) before we are facing an issue of essentially institutional obsolescence. What is institutional obsolescence? I define it as the point at which standalone VHS/DVD players are no longer available or supported in most campus classrooms (regardless of whether "the machine or device necessary to render perceptible a work stored in that format is no longer manufactured or is no longer reasonably available in the commercial marketplace," (Sec. 108c(2)) - though VHS is can't be too far away despite arguments to the contrary). I used to think that the transition from VHS to DVD acquisitions bought us some time. However, with players being *proactively* pulled from classrooms upon remodel or replacement refresh, and a high likelihood that laptops will soon no longer come with built-in DVD players (try buying *any* Macbook with one built-in, I've bought 2 in the last nine months - not possible), I am starting to think that all physical formats will be institutionally obsolete at the same dreaded time. With a campus our size (3 sub-campuses in one location, ~50k students) it is simply not feasible for the Libraries to get into the classroom management business nor are we going to start checking out players (realistically, what instructor is gonna be shlepping around VCR's/DVD players/Thunderbolt peripherals?). Sure a very few media intensive departments may decide to start supporting their own classrooms with a few players, but I am betting the coverage will be spottier than AT&T. We don't currently have a great solution for this, so we need to be considering options and I am optimistic deeper campus conversations will start soon enough. That said, I wonder how long it is until other campuses are in the same boat? When will we be at a point of critical mass when physical media is no longer institutionally viable - truly institutional obsolete? To be sure, we will still have the lingering [at that point] "legacy media" digitization question, but I think it will be interesting to see if the calculus changes undershort the pressure. Will the educational media/independent (and theatrical film shortly thereafter for that matter) become a purely digital, licensed distribution model (see: Ambrose). Dennis, I wouldn't be reaching for the grapefruit margarita just yet. The Empire may strike back.

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.
