????? How does the law not preclude streaming without a license? If you don't need a license to stream ( and FYI streams often if not mostly viewed OFF campus so ) then why ever pay for them? Streaming is an exclusive right of a rights holder You have to pay for any title you want to stream at least an entire film . Ironically it was the GSU and Google Books cases which made this even clearer recently as in both cases it was emphasized ONLY portions of works could be digitzed and put online ( and that portion is still under appeal) without approval of the rights holder so not like there is not very current law on the issue.
How is work copied from a presumably out of print VHS able to be streamed without clearance from a rights holder if you could not do that with say Citizen Kane or Grey Gardens? Please show me where Section 8 makes reference to that or are you claiming "fair use" despite the GSU and Google book case decisions?

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.
