I would say yes, the section 108 copy could proceed since there is not a replacement copy available for a reasonable price. I would not consider a term stream to be a replacement copy for a VHS or DVD.

If a due diligence search for a replacement copy under Section 108 pf US copyright does not return a hard copy available for purchase, but instead only return a streaming copy, available only for term license.... Can the library proceed with a copy made under provisions of Section 108. I have my own opinion, but will would like to hear what other librarians think. -deg farrelly Arizona State University Libraries > Kanopy has it. 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.
