Re: [Videolib] Copyright Act Reform proposed

[Jessica Rosner]

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.

Re: [Videolib] Haiti on Film

[TWN Distribution]

Dear Blaine,

TWN distributes two documentaries about Haiti that might be of interest:

SECONDHAND (PEPE)
In this documentary about used clothing, the historical memoir of a Jewish
immigrant rag picker intertwines with the present-day story of 'pepe' —
secondhand clothing that flows from North America to Haiti. Secondhand
(Pepe) animates the
materiality of recycled clothes — their secret afterlives and the unspoken
connections among people in an era of globalization.
http://www.twn.org/catalog/pages/cpage.aspx?rec=1199&card=price


VOODOO DANCE
This film documents the significant role of Voodoo in Haitian culture from
the perspectives of Voodoo priests, government officials, historians and
politicians. Attacked by Western clerics and declared a "superstition" by
law in 1935, Voodoo has always been a source of empowerment for the average
Haitian. And scholars argue that despite the exploitation, romanticization
and vilification of voodoo, it remains an authentic and stabilizing cultural
base of everyday Haitian society.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming Videos On Reserve

[Lawrence Daressa]

I agree with Gary that streaming films without obtaining some sort of license 
is a potentially risky move, especially at the present time. As I've pointed 
out, the "quotation" of an entire book in another book or even a whole chapter 
of a book would constitute a dubious not to say risible claim in the world of 
print media. Why then is it seriously discussed when it comes to video content?

But the UCLA case raises a more fundamental issue. In many cases, the 
distributor could not legally grant the university a streaming license even if 
it did so for free.  Why? Because the copyrighted embedded content was never 
cleared for digital delivery. And, as most of know, clearing music and images 
can be outrageously expensive. Archives and stock footage houses usually charge 
the same digital clearance fee for a twenty year old film as for one not yet 
released. The first six episodes of "Eyes on the Prize," it is rumored, cost 
over $1,000,000 to clear digital its rights. In this context, charging for a 
"digital streaming license" may not appear quite so capricious.
 
What's more filmmakers and distributors can't claim fair use protection for the 
vast majority of their embedded footage eg published music, news footage and 
archival stills (never if they have previously cleared DVD and television 
rights.) The reason is that digital rights management companies exist (and are 
wholly financed) by making footage available ONLY for transformative uses (eg 
as part of a specific film or book.) It might follow that an instructor could 
not "lift" embedded any copyrighted content under fair use unless it were 
contained in a larger "quotation from" or "comment on" the film not the footage 
itself.

I think most filmmakers and distributors would agree with the sentiment of this 
list that copyright law is long overdue for revision and that it has become a 
deterrent to certain  academic uses. This, of course, does not constitute a 
license to ignore copyright law as it exists, however irrational it may seem to 
some of us. It cannot be unilaterally revised by just one party but needs to 
balance the interests of both. The position of the Center for Social Media, 
cited by Gary, that "business models and copyright issues" are not connected 
is, to put it generously, disingenuous; such specious arguments are one reason 
copyright holders are so reluctant to compromise on their copyright 
protections. Similarly, the argument that insofar as an expense acts as an 
impediment to education, it justifies a fair use, is gainsaid by the fact that 
the salaries of those making these arguments are also expenses and therefore 
impediments to education.

Revision of copyright law seems a distant prospect from a Congress which can't 
even address health care reform. That need not mean that copyright holders and 
users couldn't adopt voluntary, mutually agreeable licensing practices less 
restrictive than existing copyright law. This is where I think we should be 
directing our energies. Thanks.

[Videolib] searching for a documentary by director Jean Paul Le Chanois titled "Un people attend"

[Jesus Alonso-Regalado]

Dear VIDEOLIB group,

 

I am trying to find a documentary by director Jean Paul Le Chanois titled "Un 
people attend" about a concentration camp

during the Spanish Civil war.

 

I found the following information about this documentary in this web page: 

http://www.oberlin.edu/faculty/sfaber/refugee.pdf

 

"The film, entitled Refuge, was a dubbed-over and shortened version of Un 
people attend. This documentary, directed earlier that year by Jean-Paul 
LeChanois, alias Jean-Paul Dreyfus, and edited by Irving Lerner, combined 
newsreel with original footage, including sequences shot in the camps with a 
camera hidden in a grocery bag. Long thought lost, a 16mm print of Refuge has 
recently surfaced among ALBA's collection"

 

I have consulted  http://mic.loc.gov/ and send emails to the following 
organizations:

 

-  ALBA. Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives.  http://www.alba-valb.org/ 
  Ellos tienen listserv y pagina en facebook. Quiza 
tambien pueda ser una opcion que tu puedas intentar. 
http://www.alba-valb.org/participate/listserv 
 

 

-  Library of Congress. Motion Pictures section. 
http://www.loc.gov/rr/mopic/  

 

-  National Archives 
http://www.archives.gov/research/formats/film-sound-video.html 
 

 

I would be very grateful if you could inform and/or refer me where I can find a 
copy of this documentary.

Thanks!

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video for reserves

[Jessica Rosner]

There is a BIG difference between a film being shown IN a class with the
professor ( Face to Face), and being put up on line for students to watch
whenever and how often they want. UCLA and Georgia State were not doing this
to help OFF campus students who could not go to class, they were doing it
because either the professor did not want to use the class time for the
film, wanted the students to watch it again or wanted to add extra films to
the class. No one was being deprived. The law allows  a film to be used in
class or put on reserve but it does not allow them to be available at
anytime , any place, even for a student enrolled in a class.  If you are
talking about OFF campus students who don't have access to the class
screenings.  are being charged for online access?  Why does University get
all that money for that but owners of the material used in class get
nothing?  Only the University gets to charge for putting material online?

It is both legal and logical for rights holder to want more for vastly
expanding the use of their film. I point out again that it was not big
studios or entertainment companies that sued UCLA & Georgia State and got
them to STOP doing this, it was small independent companies whose existence
was a stake.


Do you hold the same position that you can scan a entire book for students
in a class to watch so they don't have to buy a copy?  Legally it is
identical, but I don't see a big push to save students the cost of buying a
copy of Franny & Zoe by just posting it online?

As for blaming the professors. It is true they can't do much on their own,
but I have found them to be most eager bunch to violate copyright  to get
what they want. Too many think nothing of using a dub copy, or something
they  downloaded off the internet.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video for reserves

[Foster, Jennifer]

At the risk of extending this firestorm further, I did not read anything
at all in Chuck's response that suggested advising anyone to do anything
illegal.  It is indeed up to the organization's management to decide for
the organization what risks they are willing to take. It is our
responsibility to inform and educate, and to make our position known.
But in a democratic society isn't it also our responsibility to stand up
and be counted when we think something is wrong?  That's what our kids
did (if even inadvertently and perhaps misguidedly, if that's a word...)
to get the music industry to change.

 

And blame the professors?  OK, sometimes, but come on - how is it their
job to keep up with this mess, when even we who focus on it are often
confused!? They are trying to reach their students in relevant ways.
Professors with whom I discuss this issue - universally - don't like it,
but they hear it and understand what I say whether they agree or not.
Put it in the context of that book they published and they are even more
understanding.

 

Allowing films to be shown in their entirety in a face-to-face
classroom, but not to students in the same class via a closed
password-protected network when registered is just not right.
Economically motivated, business oriented, protective of revenue
streams, but not right.  Those students - some of whom paid MORE for
online access - are entitled to the exact same education that those who
sit in the classroom are entitled to.

Sorry Chris I did not mean I do not want to appear to be trashing the TEACH
act, and I have no problem with clips/ portions being used. I just did not

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video for reserves

I'm pretty much in agreement with Gary on the unlicensed streaming of
complete works. I think it's rash to scare off people from using the
TEACH Act under any circumstances. If the guidelines are followed and
only portions are used, I think it's a usable tool for works with no
option for licensing.

 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.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video for reserves

[ghandman]

Letting the "higher ups" make the decisions alone is never a good idea,
Chuck.  Media folk need to take the lead and manifest strong leadership in
these issues because, frankly, administrators and faculty generally know
squat about the issues, community common practice, legislation, and almost
everything else required to make informed decisions.

It's very clear that the issue of digitizing and/or streaming materials
under copyright without license (even for delivery withing the confines of
a "reasonably secure" platform) is being hotly contested, even as we
speak...  I would strongly advise Jane and others to wait and watch how
the UCLA case shakes down.  UC legal counsel has advised UCLA to desist
from its practices until the matter is further considered. I don't see any
universities or any national organizations "pushing back" at this point...

And here's my opinion (and its ONLY ONLY ONLY)quasi-informed opinion:  I
cannot see any way that it can be argued that digitizing and streaming a
whole copyrighted work (even within the confines of an authenticated
platform) could possibly fall under the umbrella of either fair use or
TEACH, particularly in cases where the title(s) in question are currently
being licensed for digital delivery by a distributor or vendor.  Pat
Aufderheide (one of my heroes)has argued that there's a radical difference
between business models and copyright issues (see
http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2010/02/04/copyrightredux).  I'm not
sure I agree (but then again, I'm certainly no lawyer...than god) It seems
to me that if one of the principle tests of fair use is impact on the
market,  the practices of UCLA and other institutions would simply not
stand up in court.

We'll see what shakes down the road...

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video for reserves

[Jessica Rosner]

Chuck,
Do you think UCLA lawyers are idiots and just pulled their streaming for
fun?  You want to encourage another school to have to pay legal fees while
this is still ongoing?  Remember Federal Law trumps professors who think
they have a right to digitize and stream copyrighted material. Between
Georgia State and UCLA backing off , not from threats by big studio or
corpoorations, but from independent booksellers and distributors whose work
was being stolen, you would think that you might not encourage
another institution to try this.

Is it your position that you can digitize entire books and films for
streaming for classes? Inquiring minds want to know. If you do believe this
than I assume you that all schools that do this will be upfront and announce
their policy  openly instead of trying to hide it.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming video for reserves

[Chuck McCann]

The answer is, "possibly". Jane, explore the option of using course
management software like BlackBoard, for example, to facilitate this
endeavor. This will provide a closed network that is "reasonably secure". In
addition it is by default only accessible to students on record for a class
that has materials on video course reserves. Next, start building campus
partnerships, convince teaching departments, particularly the faculty
members that actually have materials on video course reserves, that this is
a great and matter of fact essential service for scholarship.
Simultaneously, talk to your library administration and get them involved.
You'll need their support because only they have the voice to push this to
the University President's Office. Let the decision be made at the top of
the ladder, but prepare and build your case from the bottom up. Don't let
people scare you away from this, all you are doing is bring attention to a
much needed service, again let those higher up make the final decision, and
remember federal law trumps a distributors/artist contrived prohibitions, if
your University has the legal muscle to push back, then this is what they
are for.

Best,
