Hello Jennifer,
I would take note of this message on the Themovies Video Online website: It should be noted that Themovies Video Online is a simple search engine of videos available at a wide variety of third party websites. Any videos shown on third party websites are the responsibility of those sites and not Themovies Video Online. We have no knowledge of whether content shown on third party websites is or is not authorized by the content owner as that is a matter between the host site and the content owner. Themovies Video Online does not host any content on its servers or network. http://themovies.webs.pm/dmca.html If you click on the Buy DVD/Blu-ray button, you are taken to the Rakuten play.com website: http://www.play.com/ I did not see this title listed there, and this website has terrible reviews: http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.rakuten.com An Internet search for this title took me to the Museum of Modern Art's website. MoMA is listed as a distributor in several OCLC records also: http://www.moma.org/search?query=Farewell%2C+etaoin+shrdlu There is a PDF there listing titles for renting and sale: http://www.moma.org/momaorg/shared/pdfs/docs/learn/Circulating_Pricelist.pdf The video, if available, has a sale price of $200. You would need to contact MoMA to see if this list is up to date. If you had to, one could try to contact the surviving family members: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/nytimes/obituary.aspx?pid=173120622&module=Search&mabReward=relbias%3As%2C{%221%22%3A%22RI%3A9%22}<http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/nytimes/obituary.aspx?pid=173120622&module=Search&mabReward=relbias%3As%2C%7b%221%22%3A%22RI%3A9%22%7d> Here was the contact information from Videolib in 2005: Carl Schlesinger 39 Myrtle Street Rutherford, NJ 07070 201-935-5504 http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/VideoLib/archive/0508/0120.html Michael S.

Now Mr. Schlesinger has died, and I am being bombarded with ILL requests to loan this video. I am reluctant to do so, but would like to know if anyone knows of a source for it. I just found it online here: http://themovies.webs.pm/watch/farewell-etaoin-shrdlu-91108.html You must create an account, and is this a legit source? Thanks in advance.
