outstanding video cassette collection - for sale? for conversion?Peggy, I have converted a few and it an easy process. You can buy a DVD/VHS converter for under $300. Put a blank disk in one side and your VHS in the other. Push one button and wait the time it would take to play the movie. Finalize the DVD from the menu and you are done.

Re: [ha-Safran] outstanding video cassette collection - for sale?forconversion?
All, My understanding (from actually writing to publishers a number of years ago) is that it violates copyright to transfer from one medium to another. I gather tha,( like photocopying and distributing copies to students), this is something that many, many people do anyway. There is a mistaken belief that as long as you don't profit from copying distributing, copyright goes out the window. We've had copyright attorneys addressthese issues at some AJL conventions, and I think people are always disappointed to learn the facts about home use, fair use, etc. On the other hand, it's been a while since I've explored the issue.

[ha-Safran] Concerning copy right issues with link
I asked our son Seth Schoen who works for the Electronic Frontier Foundation to comment and his Cornell link at the bottom concerning library exceptions will be useful to look at: I would recommend that they contact the library of a larger nearby research university (e.g. NYU or Columbia in New York). Most of the huge well-funded universities have copyright specialists working in their libraries who can probably offer helpful advice; their goal is to allow researchers and librarians to do as much as possible without getting the university in legal trouble. Also, library associations like ALA and SLA have copyright committees and produce publications to help their member librarians deal with copyright issues. There are specific copyright exceptions and limitations related to preservation activities and to archival work by non-profit libraries and archives, but those almost never come up at EFF so I'm not very familiar with the details. This is totally separate from fair use, which is a different reason why a use might not be an infringement of copyright. The main provision related to library exceptions is 17 USC 108, at http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/usc_sec_17_0108000-.html -- Kenneth Schoen, SCHOEN BOOKS...specializing in: Judaica, the Holocaust, modern European history, psychoanalysis, and scholarly books in general. http://www.schoenbooks.com see also: www.jhswm.org and also: www.trigere.com Seven Sugarloaf Street South Deerfield, MA. 01373 (413) 665-0066 __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) == Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: galro...@osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran
