Re: [Videolib] Copyright Act Reform proposed
Well per Mr.Smith Goes to Washington "Lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for", but alas I think this is a lost cause. You have librarians, academics, archivists, independent filmmakers etc. Vs studios and multi -national corporations to sway a Congress that can't pass health care reform. My money is on the corporations. On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 12:44 PM, Rubin, Nan wrote: > I'm not so sure it's such a lost cause.

Re: [Videolib] Copyright Act Reform proposed
The results of the 108 Study group (and orphan works legislation) have convinced me that working with what we have may be our best option.

Re: [Videolib] Copyright Act Reform proposed
Oh ye of little faith! I know Gigi and the gang at Public Knowledge, and I would not underestimate their strategic positioning or energetic lobbying. They do know how to get things done in Dee Cee. In fact, I already wrote them a note to encourage them to add Section 108 issues to their list, so us archivist and librarian-types might also get some copyright law reform. Anyone interested in working on this, let me know. Time to get mobilized!

Re: [Videolib] Copyright Act Reform proposed
I read parts of it briefly. I could see nothing that would remotely relate to an issue like streaming a whole film. I have no problem with issues of incidental and personal use but I suspect the studios do . Sadly they they tend to concentrate on stuff like clips or incidental music, while largely ignoring bigger issues. I admit that the cynic in me wonders if their is a Trojan horse there,since some of the folks behind are in part the same people who claim it IS legal to stream a film now. I think everyone agrees it would be great to get copyright law clarified and revised, but I suspect this will come through the courts rather than Congress.
