We have been watching this case with interest since it began. It
directly affects us, as the educational rights holder for most BBC
programming. From our perspective then, what UCLA has been/is doing
seems plain wrong in that a streaming/download right is utterly distinct
from a DVD hard copy right. Therefore, in the case of titles we own,
even if UCLA has been ripping copies of authorised educational copies of
DVDs, they are still not covered to do this unless granted permission by
us or our authorised US distributors. Even worse if what they are
actually doing in a lot of cases is ripping retail DVDs!

I don't pretend to know anything about the vagaries of US copyright law
but this is absolutely the commercial perspective relating to this case.
I hope the right result comes in - however long it takes - otherwise I
absolutely believe we're looking at the death knell for the factual
documentary educational distribution market - certainly for our titles
anyway. If we can't make money from distribution rights then we don't
distribute anything.and seeing as 90% of BBC factual output doesn't
make it to retail and is only available at an institutional purchase
level, end users would be starved of that content - or forced to use
pirated copies of broadcast on the internet (which is a whole other
topic I could bang on about...).

This is a little out of context since I'm picking this up a day late
but amidst the conversation you noted the TEACH Act doesn't cover
fiction features. It doesn't cover the use of entire features but
otherwise doesn't distinguish between fiction and fact-based works in
what it covers.

2011-05-27 Thread Jessica Rosner

Well again UCLA was streaming a large number of complete fiction feature
films. There really has never been an issue in my mind about clips and this
case
had nothing to do with the use of clips. The film that "started" this was a
film of a Shakespeare play that likely ran close to 4 hours.

I need some help.  In my current position I have little video 
responsibilities--unless it comes to problem solving.
 
I am looking for medical documentary films--films that would be of interest to 
medical professionals that are about medicine or scientific topics.
 
For example=Supersize Me or King Corn would be a more popular examples, 
Unnatural Causes a more academic one.
 
So--is there any place you would recommend searching and/or search strategies?  
We are pretty much open to any suggestions at this point.
 
I have played around with Worldcat, and of course Netflix, but I think my 
problem is that it is sort of hard to quantify what makes a documentary 
interesting to this audience.
 
Thanks in advance for help!

Hi Gail,

There's a set of guidelines called the "Kastenmeier Guidelines for Off-Air 
Taping for Educational Purposes" that a lot of places follow.  You can find 
them here: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/Kastenmeier.html.  They're not 
actual law per se, and the rules are kinda wonky, but this might work for your 
purposes.  You can Google "kastenmeier guidelines" if you want to know more 
about them.

Taping and keeping it the collection would definitely violate copyright but
you could tape it if he was planning to use it in the near term. Guidelines
are fuzzy but as a matter of law an off air copy is not a legal copy.

Re: [Videolib] film genre series?

*Hollywood, The Pioneers* which is about silent films is to my mind the
definitive doc on any genre of film but it is very long and alas not
released on DVD. Sadly I can't think of anything that comes close.

Re: [Videolib] MSNBC

2011-05-27 Thread Stanton, Kim

Gail,

My library follows Kastenmeier guidelines, which outline a limited time period 
we should keep the off-air recording (see Matt's link below).  The biggest 
issue we have is when faculty want the materials available longer term. 
Sometimes we're able to purchase a permanent copy through the station, though 
it seems to typically take 4-6 weeks after broadcast for a copy to be made and 
shipped to us. Kastenmeier is usefully for serving really immediate faculty 
needs.

Good luck,

Hi Gail,

There's a set of guidelines called the "Kastenmeier Guidelines for Off-Air

them here: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/Kastenmeier.html.  They're not

purposes.  You can Google "kastenmeier guidelines" if you want to know more

Re: [Videolib] Donuts, anyone?

2011-05-27 Thread Bergman, Barbara J

Haven't heard of problems with the little donut hub labels.

On the other hand, the full overlay with security strips have been known to 
cause problems. We had so much trouble with them unbalancing CDs that we 
stopped putting them on the audiobooks. DVDs are already so sensitive to 
scratches, smudges, etc that we never used the security overlays. DVDs are in 
locked tattletaped cases. If you have a high theft rate that makes the overlays 
necessary, the security overlays may be worth the problems, but proceed with 
caution.

Re: [Videolib] MSNBC

2011-05-27 Thread Gail Fedak

I apologize, I left out too much information before I sent the query. 
We've recorded programs off-air at faculty request for 35+ years and, 
back in the day, licensed a fair number of them to be kept in the 
collection. In so doing, we have/still do observe the Kastenmeier 
guidelines, but have always declined requests to record programs off 
cable stations (basically anything other than ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS). Not 
being a committed TV viewer, I'm unclear as to the nature of MSNBC 
(cable exclusively or hybrid station of some sort?) and whether, 
according to the K. guidelines, it qualifies as a station from which it 
is permissible to record. If it is, I do understand the convoluted 
follow-up restrictions.

Thanks again,
Gail

There really has never been an issue in my mind about clips and this case

Gail, et al. 

i didn't read this kastenmeier link, but is this the "10day/35day" rule? Which 
means, record off-air at faculty request in order to make it possible for 
students to review something they might miss -- active on the shelves for 10 
days and in 'escrow" up to 35 days, at which point it's supposed to be erased? 

If you really followed that to the letter I think you could basically record 
anything -- from food channel to CSI. It just had to serve this make-up kind of 
purpose. Time shifting for a good reason. 

Did I get this right?

I believe there is some question whether the rules apply to cable Vs over

Hello All 
Our copy of At the Death House Door (ISBN 1-56580-849-5) stops about 20 minutes 
into the program and goes back to the menu.  If you start the movie from the 
scene select window it works fine. We sent it back to Amazon and they sent us a 
new copy which did  the EXACT same thing. I am wondering if this happened to 
any one else?  If it did, and you kept the DVD, how did you label the container 
to make sure people knew how to access the material?  Thanks in advance and

Re: [Videolib] At the Death House Door

2011-05-27 Thread CROWLEY, CHRISTINE

Somewhat related problem.  I have purchased four seasons of "Northern
Exposure" as a gift for boyfriend. We are in Season Three and discovered
that two episodes on a brand new disc are damaged, apparently, and just
freeze. You can hear the blu-ray machine grinding away. The rest of the
disc is fine. We tried buffing but to no avail. I am wondering if a
single disc in a set is able to be returned for replacement. Has anyone
else had this experience?

Hello All 

Our copy of At the Death House Door (ISBN 1-56580-849-5) stops about 20
minutes into the program and goes back to the menu.  If you start the
movie from the scene select window it works fine. We sent it back to
Amazon and they sent us a new copy which did  the EXACT same thing. I am
wondering if this happened to any one else?  If it did, and you kept the
DVD, how did you label the container to make sure people knew how to
access the material?  Thanks in advance and hope everyone has a
fantastic weekend.

[Videolib] DVD cases

2011-05-27 Thread matthew . wright

Many of our DVD cases are in sad shape.  They are cracked, will not open 
or close properly and in many cases the hub no longer works and so the DVD 
is loose in the case. I am willing to spend money on top quality cases 
that will actually last.  These ones from Gaylord looked better than 
average but I thought I would poll this list and see if there is a gold 
standard for cases other than the cheap ones most distributors use.

We use clear DVD cases from Video Shopper

http://www.shopperinc.com/product.htm?pid=570689&cat=26400

They crack sometimes, but you can't control how patrons will treat them.

Whatever brand you buy and whomever you buy them from, get clear  
cases. Much easier for staff (and the patron) to see what is - or  
isn't - inside.

Re: [Videolib] DVD cases

2011-05-27 Thread Tatar, Becky

Most of our DVDs come from Midwest, and they automatically put them in
better cases.  However, they are all plastic, become brittle, and
eventually wear down along the sides, the spine, etc.  The box sets
break down, also.  My big question would be how easy does the center hub
release the disc?  On some of the cases, you think you may almost break
the disc in pieces trying to release it.

Re: [Videolib] DVD cases

2011-05-27 Thread Logan, Michael

After much experimenting, we settled on the Amaray (as opposed to Amaray II) 
cases offered through www.showcases1.com
The hub release button grips tightly when engaged, releases easily and 
decisively when pushed. Best of all, there is a raised lip around the edge of 
the disc which makes prying the disc off physically impossible--until that 
button is pushed, then it's easy as pie.

Disc hub damage is pretty much nil with these cases--we HIGHLY recommend them.

Re: [Videolib] MSNBC

2011-05-27 Thread ghandman

You're wrong, Jessica

First, Sony/CBS established that taping for personal use is legal, no
matter how long it is retained.  (You KNOW this, of course!)

Secondly, Kastenmeier and community practice have established off-air
taping for short-term use in teaching acceptable.  Kastenmeier limits
retention to 45 days or something...other institutions (such as mine) have
gone to bat for a bit longer retention.

Keeping a program taped off the air in a collection for the long-haul, on
the other hand, is skating on thin, if not perilous, legal ice.

It's not a fetish Randal.  It's an issue which may very well determine the

Re: [Videolib] MSNBC

2011-05-27 Thread Jessica Rosner

I am not wrong but perhaps I should have been clearer. First I never
challenged the idea of taping a program for SHORT term use but an off air
copy is an illegal copy for copyright purposes and can not be sold, rented
or circulated as any legal copy could be. I am a tad sensitive since the
infamous "best practices" document produced by the Society for Cinema &
Media studies basically endorsed using off air material pretty much
indefinitely.
It is pretty obvious per above that an off air copy is not a legal copy and
that the Kastenmeier guidelines are an exception to being able to use what
would otherwise be an illegal copy.

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.
