One way of checking whether something has been put up legally or not on YouTube is to see who uploaded the film or who's channel it is. If it's legal, it'll be either the film's distributor, production company or the filmmaker. If it's another name, odds are it shouldn't be there.

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.
