Wow this raises some interesting questions but oddly I can't even find a working link on the site for this film.
Let's assume there is working link on the site, do you want to show the film in a physical classroom or just have them watch it. I would think providing a link to legal, public streaming of a film would be totally OK.As noted with the purchase of DVDs where a distributor says something like "not for classroom use" or charges extra for this, they can do this by contract if they own all the rights but as a legal matter if you get a legit copy you can show it IN an ACTUAL classroom, if you want to digitze a physical DVD and put it up online for viewings outside of an actual classroom that is not covered so you would have to negotiate with rights holder. Here is seems like you are asking if it is OK to access an existing stream and again IF the stream is legally available online I don't see why you can't provide a link (but not host it) I think what you might want to do in this case is contact the director/ producer. Sounds like you could reach him via Kartemquin Films http://www.kartemquin.com/about/david-e-simpson regards Jessica On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 8:28 AM, Bogage, Alan <[email protected]> wrote: > Does anyone have experience with this provider?

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.
