Hi Dennis, Yes, they are not always up to date ergo my caveat, “The site is not infallible”. They don’t always list a purveyor even though you can go directly to the purveyor’s website and find it. But still, given the number of films out there they do a decent job. And when you can’t find or afford a stream it at least gives an option to the student to purchase direct for a reasonable price.

The only problem I see is that they are not up to the date with the latest releases and all the platforms. Some of mine from November aren't up and a couple films only lists Itunes when I know they are on Amazon -- but that's definitely not the worst complaint one can have.

I’d be interested to see where this discussion leads to, because I have concerns about what do when an instructor wants to use a film for class that is not commercially available on DVD, but only available via Amazon stream, NetFlix, or iTunes. The streaming world continues to amaze me. Best, Mo From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stanton, Kim Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2015 11:35 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [Videolib] Netflix Streaming and Face-to-Face Hi all, Is there any consensus on the legality of faculty using their own person Netflix Streaming account in a face to face classroom situation. I have always assumed it was fine. Access was legally acquired and would fall under 110(1). Another support department on my campus is saying, no, it’s not legal because Netflix’s terms of service trump 110. They are coming to this conclusion based on advice from an inhouse article<http://www.library.unt.edu/news/may-one-stream-netflix-video-class-use> written by our Scholarly Communications Librarian. I never saw eye to eye with this librarian on media related copyright issues, his interpretations do not necessarily reflect those of the campus legal office AND he recently left the university. So I’m trying to find something else solid that addresses this issue. I flipped back through Ciara Healy’s Library Trends article, but it doesn’t seem to address the copyright issue. Can anyone point me to something? Thanks!
