This sounds much like the way we handle video materials with extras. I would
say, though, that since our desk is manned by students during the academic
year, the attention to detail varies *a lot *depending on who is working.

[Videolib] JFJ disk cleaner

[John Streepy]

Hi all, 
as you probably all know, and many are probably collection augmenting on their 
collections, Hollywood Video is going out of business. (we picked up about 225 
titles) Their disk cleaner is available for purchase and I was wondering if 
anyone had any experience with the JFJ brand?  Thanks in advance.

Re: [Videolib] Cataloging question

[Karen Glover]

Hi Jennifer,
If we put the guide with the CD or DVD, we count it as another Piece.  We use 
Voyager so we have the option of counting pieces.  Say a DVD has 2 disks and an 
pamphlet, we count it as 3 pieces and when we check them out (one barcode) the 
system will pop-up saying there should be 3 pieces so that we can make sure we 
have all the parts when checking in and out.  We also label like crazy.  Hope 
that helps.

Subject: [Videolib] Cataloging question

 
We have some videos, audiobooks, and music CDs in our collection
that come with substantive guides, booklets, and/or testing materials. If the
material does not fit into a normal sized package (not oversized), we shelve
the guides separately behind our media circulation desk and label the package
as follows: “Accompanying booklets or guides available for checkout from
the media desk.” The accompanying material has a separate bar code on it
and is checked out separately.
 
If the guide fits inside the package, we prefer to shelve the
materials with the CDs/DVDs for the convenience of the patron – the
patron should not have to ask for material that should come with the discs if
it isn’t necessary.  Consider Naxos Audiobooks version of Ulysses,
unabridged with 22 disks and a study text the size of a CD, and that fits into
a CD sleeve neatly. But the guide is 72 pages and we actually care if it is
returned with the discs, yet don’t necessarily need or want to shelve it
separately.
 
How does your library handle that? Is the guide bar coded? Is it
not? If it is not, how do you know if the guide comes back or not? How can we
assure that we know what comes back?  Any thoughts?

[Videolib] First Sale Doctrine-Interesting Copyright case

[Jaeschke, Myles]

Don't run and start placing those Academy promo DVDs and promo CDs in your 
library collection just yet, but if the 9th circuit upholds the district 
court's decision (and there is no appeal to US Supreme Court) I think libraries 
would be well within the law to do just so.  I'm sure this has a ways to go to 
play out yet...

"The Ninth Circuit has posted to its web site an audio recording of Monday's 
oral 
arguments 
in UMG Recordings, Inc. v. Augusto, an important case about the scope of the 
first sale doctrine.

The facts are this: UMG (like other record labels) sends out promotional CDs to 
radio stations, music reviewers, and other industry insiders. The CDs contain 
labels that say the following (or something very close):
This CD is the property of the record company and is licensed to the intended 
recipient for personal use only. Acceptance of this CD shall constitute an 
agreement to comply with the terms of the license. Resale or transfer of 
possession is not allowed and may be punishable under federal and state laws.
Of course, some recipients don't follow these instructions, and sell these 
promo CDs. Troy Augusto made a business of buying them at record stores or 
online, and re-selling them. UMG sued Augusto for copyright infringement, 
alleging a violation of its exclusive right to distribute its works under 17 
USC 
 § 106(3). Augusto defended 
by claiming that under the first sale doctrine, he's perfectly free to re-sell 
the CDs he bought, the "promotional use only" labels notwithstanding.

The district court sided with 
Augusto, 
ruling that UMG transferred title in the physical CDs to the initial 
recipients, and did not, as it argued, merely license them for a limited 
purpose to a limited group. The court relied in part on an obscure postal 
statute, 39 USC § 3009, which 
characterizes un­ordered merchandise" as a "gift." (The purpose of the statute 
is evidently to protect consumers against scammers who mail goods to consumers 
even when they don't request it, and then demand payment.)

When I listened to UMG attorney Russ 
Frackman face the panel, I was 
skeptical of the label's chances. The court practically begged him to give them 
a way not to follow the postal statute; he had to fall back on arguments based 
on the purpose of the law, the legislative history, and an insistence that 
words such as "recipient" and "merchandise" had some special meaning in this 
context other than their dictionary definitions. But I thought the panel was 
even tougher on Augusto's attorney Joseph 
Gratz. The court seemed a bit 
surprised by Gratz's concession that Augusto has the burden of proof on the 
first sale issue (at least one panel member had previously stated that it may 
be an open question), and it expressed considerable sympathy for the argument 
that UMG's relationship with the recipients of the promo CDs was indeed that of 
licensor/licensee -- or at least that Augusto may not have met his burden of 
proving otherwise.

In sum, I thought UMG came out of the argument with a slight edge, but 
predicting the result of the opinion would be a bit of a fool's errand. Listen 
for 
yourself 
and give your prediction in the comments. EFF collects the relevant documents 
here."

Re: [Videolib] JFJ disk cleaner

[Scott Spicer]

John,

We have been using the single arm JFJ Easy Pro for a couple years, and  
I am a fan.  This "dry" cleaner/resurfacer is fairly user-friendly for  
polishing and minor scratches, but I have found repairing deeper  
scratches to be a time consuming art form.  At up to $300 a  
replacement pop though I think definitely a good investment.  The 4  
different sander/cleaner discs do wear out over time, but we have  
ordered backup discs and blue/white cleaner.

Best,
Scott

I think it is a little different with DVDs mainly for more practical
reasons. Most Academy or Emmy type screeners come with the warnings
plastered ON the image as opposed to just being in the boxing. In such cases
I don't even know why a library would want something like that. Also Academy
and Emmy screeners would really never fall under  this because the
recipients actually do have to sign what amounts to  a contract not to let
them out. Screeners of DVDS sent to critics for RETAIL titles ( i.e not
films in theaters) might fall under whatever the court decides.

My interest would be in festival prints.  I know that many of the titles shown 
at festival never become available on DVD (or never became commercially 
available on VHS), especially with subtitles.  When I was a graduate student, I 
had colleagues (faculty) who had large private collections of these that were 
given to them by the filmmakers or others associated with films, and those 
collections were invaluable for study (mine and others)  Of course, they were 
only available to those who were good friends of the faculty members and could 
be trusted to not damage the copies.  Grads from the program who have gone on 
to teach now want to be able to assign students to view some of these titles, 
or use them themselves for their research, but, because they are not held in 
libraries, that is not (legally) possible.

I think those would be off the table because they were films that are not
even legally distributed. Also on a point of law , most of them
actually go out UPS or non post office methods and if it ever became an
issue I can assure no one would mail them.

Hi all

I'm in the process of putting together a videography on the cinematic city:
http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/citysymphonies.html

It's a mix of early city symphonies (e.g. Walther Ruttmann's Berlin) and
later docu films in this style.  It also has a short listing of fictional
films that feature cities as prominent "actors"

I need more of the latter.  What I'm looking for are movies that feature
cities as central parts of the narrative, as essential to the essence of
the film (not just films that are shot in a particular location)

[Videolib] IMAP Workshop on Digital Preservation for Video at BAVC (San Francisco) June 7, 2010

[Shanck, Winter]

REMINDER


Independent Media Arts Preservation (IMAP)

Presents a Workshop on

Digital Preservation for Video

 Monday, June 7, 2010

10 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

at Bay Area Video Coaltion (BAVC) in San
Francisco, CA

If content on analog videotape is to survive for
the long term, the tapes must be digitized--moved from the unstable
magnetic media on which the content is currently held, into the digital
realm where--in theory--they can be preserved indefinitely and migrated
forward as files rather than physical objects.  Digitization, however,
means more than simply selecting a destination file format.  

It requires a series of decisions that will
determine the long-term viability of files created--and thus of the
valuable video content. Workshop topics include: basic digital file
creation, preservation and access file formats and codecs,  software,
storage and trusted digital repositories, workflows for digitization,
and technical and preservation metadata. In addition, participants will
examine case studies of small and large-scale digitization projects in
order to understand real-world applications of principles introduced in
the workshop.

Presenter:  Linda Tadic consults and lectures in
areas of digital asset management, audiovisual and digital preservation,
and metadata.  She is Executive Director of the Audiovisual Archive
Network (www.archivenetwork.org  ), and
an adjunct professor in New York University's Moving Image Archiving and
Preservation graduate degree program, teaching two core courses:
Collection Management, and Access to Moving Image Collections.  Ms.
Tadic's over 25 years experience working with and managing audiovisual,
digital, and broadcasting collections includes the positions of Manager
of the Digital Library at Home Box Office (HBO), and Director of the
Media Archives and Peabody Awards Collection at the University of
Georgia. She is the past Director of Operations for ARTstor.

[Videolib] Post-1989 emigration in film

[Kris Van Heuckelom]

Dear list members,

For a conference on post-1989 migration in European cinema (to be held in 
Leuven in December 2011), we are setting up a database of recent films that 
portray immigrants from former communist countries. Our list of "foreign" 
(i.e., not Central or East European) films dealing with the subject is becoming 
quite long, which - unfortunately - cannot be said about the list of films 
realized in the region itself. If you know of any "local" (Russian, Ukrainian, 
Polish, Czech, Rumenian, ...) productions dealing with post-1989 emigration, 
please let me know off-list at k...@vanheuckelom.be.

Best,

I think it is a little different with DVDs mainly for more practical reasons. 
Most Academy or Emmy type screeners come with the warnings

plastered ON the image as opposed to just being in the boxing. In such cases I 
don't even know why a library would want something like that. Also Academy and 
Emmy screeners would really never fall under  this because the recipients 
actually do have to sign what amounts to  a contract not to let them out. 
Screeners of DVDS sent to critics for RETAIL titles ( i.e not films in 
theaters) might fall under whatever the court decides.

"The Ninth Circuit has posted to its web site an audio recording of Monday's 
oral arguments 
  in UMG 
Recordings, Inc. v. Augusto, an important case about the scope of the first 
sale doctrine  .

The facts are this: UMG (like other record labels) sends out promotional CDs to 
radio stations, music reviewers, and other industry insiders. The CDs contain 
labels that say the following (or something very close):

This CD is the property of the record company and is licensed to the intended 
recipient for personal use only. Acceptance of this CD shall constitute an 
agreement to comply with the terms of the license. Resale or transfer of 
possession is not allowed and may be punishable under federal and state laws.

Of course, some recipients don't follow these instructions, and sell these 
promo CDs. Troy Augusto made a business of buying them at record stores or 
online, and re-selling them. UMG sued Augusto for copyright infringement, 
alleging a violation of its exclusive right to distribute its works under 17 
USC   
 § 106(3). Augusto defended 
by claiming that under the first sale doctrine, he's perfectly free to re-sell 
the CDs he bought, the "promotional use only" labels notwithstanding.

The district court sided with Augusto 
 , ruling 
that UMG transferred title in the physical CDs to the initial recipients, and 
did not, as it argued, merely license them for a limited purpose to a limited 
group. The court relied in part on an obscure postal statute, 39 USC § 3009 
 , which characterizes 
un­ordered merchandise" as a "gift." (The purpose of the statute is evidently 
to protect consumers against scammers who mail goods to consumers even when 
they don't request it, and then demand payment.)

When I listened to UMG attorney Russ Frackman 
  face the panel, I was skeptical 
of the label's chances. The court practically begged him to give them a way not 
to follow the postal statute; he had to fall back on arguments based on the 
purpose of the law, the legislative history, and an insistence that words such 
as "recipient" and "merchandise" had some special meaning in this context other 
than their dictionary definitions. But I thought the panel was even tougher on 
Augusto's attorney Joseph Gratz  
. The court seemed a bit surprised by Gratz's concession that Augusto has the 
burden of proof on the first sale issue (at least one panel member had 
previously stated that it may be an open question), and it expressed 
considerable sympathy for the argument that UMG's relationship with the 
recipients of the promo CDs was indeed that of licensor/licensee -- or at least 
that Augusto may not have met his burden of proving otherwise.

In sum, I thought UMG came out of the argument with a slight edge, but 
predicting the result of the opinion would be a bit of a fool's errand. Listen 
for yourself 
  and give 
your prediction in the comments. EFF collects the relevant documents here

[Videolib] Cambria Matlow Leaving Film Movement

[Cambria Matlow]

Dear all,

I’m writing to you today about my imminent departure from the wonderful Film
Movement.  I’m very excited to announce that I will be moving to Portland,
Oregon this fall to focus full-time on new film production, distribution of my
own documentary film BURNING IN THE SUN, and other creative pursuits.

I’ve enjoyed every moment of my 2+ years with Film Movement, not only working
in tandem with such a talented and enthusiastic staff, but also having the
opportunity to work with all of you dedicated exhibitors.  For many of you I
will be in touch closer to the fall in regards to distribution of my own film.
For others, while our paths may not cross in the immediate future, I wish you
all the best in your efforts to bring independent film to audiences new and
old.  Thank you for all that you do!

It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Rachel Langus, who will be taking over my
position at Film Movement. Rachel has worked for several non-profit film
organizations, arthouse theaters, and festivals throughout the United States
and Canada, including Sundance Film Festival, Toronto Int’l Film Festival San
Francisco Int’l Film Festival, Coolidge Corner Theater Foundation in Boston,
Provincetown Int’l Film Festival, and Boston Jewish Film Festival.  Her wealth
of experience and passion for film speaks for itself and Film Movement is lucky
to have her on board. Rachel is equipped to handle all bookings and sales, new
and in process, seamlessly. Please wish her welcome.

As of today, please contact her by phone at x205, or by email at
rac...@filmmovement.com for any and all inquiries.

I will remain in the office until Friday, June 18th and will still be
accessible for any reason via x205 or at camb...@filmmovement.com. After June
18th, [1]cambria.mat...@gmail.com will be my exclusive email contact.

Warmly,

Cambria

[Videolib] Movie License question

[S Urwiler]

Hi everyone -
I just started work at a public library which has not purchased a PPR license 
to show movies to the public.  They were told by Midwest Tape that it was not 
necessary to purchase a separate license; that by buying movies from Midwest, 
they were also purchasing the right to show the movies.
 
Has anyone heard this before?  Is it correct?  It was my understanding it was 
necessary to purchase a license from Swank (or others) unless PPR were 
specifically included in the purchase of the film.
 
Thanks
 
Sheila Urwiler

Hi Sheila,
I'm at a public library as well, and to my understanding, you still have 
to purchase the license from somewhere like Swank. Here is a link to the 
FAQ page from Movie Licensing. http://www.movlic.com/library/faq.html#6

Re: [Videolib] Movie License question

Good question, glad you are asking.  I can say for our programs we are
definitely the only source for a PPR license -- Midwest Tape cannot
provide these rights on our behalf when they sell any of our programs.

Re: [Videolib] Movie License question

I honestly think there must have been some miscommunication. I can't imagine
anyone from Midwest tape saying that their titles come with PPR right since
they pretty much handle almost any film in distribution. I would contact
them directly ASAP.

Dear list members,

For a conference on post-1989 migration in European cinema (to be held
in Leuven in December 2011), we are setting up a database of recent
films that portray immigrants from former communist countries. Our list
of "foreign" (i.e., not Central or East European) films dealing with the
subject is becoming quite long, which - unfortunately - cannot be said
about the list of films realized in the region itself. If you know of
any "local" (Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Rumenian, ...)
productions dealing with post-1989 emigration, please let me know
off-list at k...@vanheuckelom.be.

Best,

Re: [Videolib] Movie License question

Sounds fishy (or very least, massively misinformed).  I'd be wary...
Midwest is simply a jobber...they don't offer rights beyond what comes
bundled with the individual titles acquire on behalf of clients.

Re: [Videolib] Movie License question

[Jessica Rosner]

The first part of Movie Licensing info is  a bit extreme

*"We are buying entertainment movies from a catalog which says their movies
are licensed to show in a public library, etc. Is this accurate?*
No vendor selling entertainment movies has legal permission to grant you
these rights. Videos with public performance rights are often documentaries
produced by independent distributors and are separate from this license."

Basically that would mean companies that do in fact sell their movies with
PPR ( Zeitgeist, Milestone, New Yorker etc)
are not selling entertaining movies.

Re: [Videolib] Movie License question

[S Urwiler]

Thank you everyone for the confirmation.  It turns out there was some 
miscommunication and the library actually has purchased a license from Swank, 
so we are covered, although we need to make sure everyone is clear on which 
studios are covered by that license.  

However, when we spoke to Midwest Tape again today, they maintained that it was 
legal to show movies purchased from them without purchasing a separate 
license.
