[Videolib] Help with PPR licensing for 9/11?

[Susan Albrecht]

Hello, all you smart ones.

Folks in our college's history department are interested in having a screening 
of James Hanlon, Jules Naudet... et al.'s 9/11:  Filmmaker's Commemorative 
Edition near the 10th anniversary next month.  I thought this was a Paramount 
item, but their rights person said that they only have the home video rights 
and he isn't sure who has PPR rights.  Can anyone help with this one?  I've 
obviously got a bit of a time crunch on my hands.

Gracias,
Susan at Wabash

Um that is one either stupid or unhelpful person at Paramount because
whoever sold them the home video rights should own the PPR rights and I
don't know why he can not look it up for you. I am too lazy but google
Nauted at the original production company ( you can get that from the
Variety review or possibly NY Times review) and try to contact them
directly.

http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c808.shtml

waitressing and our collective fascination with an enduring popular
icon.

---

Dear CW,

I am looking for recommendations for current, short documentary films 
for use in a course focused on the following topics as pertains to women

in the U.S.:  labor issues, poverty, and trafficking.

Again, the operative words are current (within the last few years), 
short (50 minutes or less), and *not* internationally-focused.

Thanks in advance,

Re: [Videolib] Documentaries on Women and Labor / Poverty / Trafficking

[Meghann Matwichuk]

Thanks, Gary...  I didn't want to seem ungrateful (and I'm hoping these 
recommendations may be useful to others -- I was able to see The Price 
of Sex at SilverDocs and it's a fantastic film -- but these caveats are 
really crucial to the professor I'm working with.  Oh, and one other 
note...  LESS THAN 50 MINUTES!!!  LESS THAN 50 MINUTES!!!  LESS THAN 50 
MINUTES!!!  ;)


It breaks my heart that she can't use some of the longer films, but she 
wants to stick with what she can show in her 50 minute class, preferably 
with time for discussion.  Unfortunately I haven't yet figured how to 
warp the space-time continuum on behalf of our instructors.


Thanks again to all who took the time to respond!

Hello, Meghann,

Bullfrog Films offers the following documentary titles you may want to consider:

1.  The Motherhood Manifesto  (DVD, 2007, 6 chapters/58 minutes, $250)
Looks at the obstacles facing working mothers and families and the employer and 
public policy changes needed to restore work-life balance.

"Builds compelling arguments for women's pay equity, saner work hours, flexible 
and part-time work, child care programs, and universal health care for 
children. We hear the voices of mothers asserting what strikes this viewer as 
reasonable, even modest, demands for basic needs and a balance between work and 
family responsibilities...engaging and humorous...Timely."  Cynthia Ninivaggi, 
Georgian Court University, Anthropology of Work Review

2. This Black Soil  (DVD, 58 minutes, 2004, $250)
http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/this.html
Chronicles the successful community struggle of Bayview, VA, under the 
leadership of visionary women, to pursue a new goal of prosperity.
* ALA Notable Videos for Adults

"This black soil is unique in that the filmmaker is able to document a decade 
long process of American activism at the grassroots level. It serves as a 
motivational and inspirational story for all social activists. Highly 
Recommended."   Monique Threatt, Educational Media Reviews Online

Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for this opportunity.

We "wrap the space-time continuum" by purchasing streams. Then the
professors make "viewing" assignments, the students watch them on their
own time whenever and wherever,  and the instructor can still have the
option of showing short clips in class to make a point.

Hi Meghann,

You might be interested in WORK AND RESPECT (10 min) by the Domestic Workers
United
http://www.twn.org/catalog/pages/cpage.aspx?rec=1139&card=price
Over 200,000 women work in the homes of New Yorkers as housekeepers and
nannies. Mostly women of color and often undocumented, their work is not
covered by labor laws, and for many, the pay and conditions of work are
beyond belief. The women are beginning to organize, though, to fight for a
bill of rights. As one worker says: imagine if all 200,000 went on strike
one day? Wall Street would have to shut down as families had to watch their
own children. Part of the Call for Change series.

Re: [Videolib] best time of year to contact

[Bergman, Barbara J]

Pretty much the same.
During the academic year.  July 1 fiscal year start.
Primarily faculty requests, but I sign off on all video purchases so that I 
know what's getting requested before we end up purchasing 3 films on the same 
hot topic.

Emails good. Postcards good. Catalogs okay.
If you send me info that requires opening an envelope, it goes in a box that 
I'll get around to reading. Eventually.

[Videolib] Documentaries on Women and Labor / Poverty / Trafficking

[Mat Levy]

Hi Meghann:

We have a similar film called  "Other People's Children" which is 42 min.

There are thousands of women in New York City taking care of other 
people's children. Everyday they arrive at households prepared to pick 
up where moms leave off. They're on the playground, at the park, in 
preschool lobbies with arms outstretched. They work long hours with no 
benefits to keep kids safe and parents happy. Although these women form 
the invisible backbone of New York City's economy, their stories are 
seldom told. Other People's Children is an intimate, eye-opening look at 
the lives of three immigrant women working as nannies in New York City. 
The challenges they face are as diverse as their stories. From 
communication mishaps to workplace injustice, missing their kids to 
immigration problems, each of them has a different perspective on the 
world of domestic work. But they share the same hope as millions of 
other immigrants in America - to provide a better future for themselves 
and their families.


Please let me know if there is anything else we can help you with.

Best,

Mat

Hi Meghann,

You might be interested in WORK AND RESPECT (10 min) by the Domestic Workers
United
http://www.twn.org/catalog/pages/cpage.aspx?rec=1139&card=price
Over 200,000 women work in the homes of New Yorkers as housekeepers and
nannies. Mostly women of color and often undocumented, their work is not
covered by labor laws, and for many, the pay and conditions of work are
beyond belief. The women are beginning to organize, though, to fight for a
bill of rights. As one worker says: imagine if all 200,000 went on strike
one day? Wall Street would have to shut down as families had to watch their
own children. Part of the Call for Change series.

Hello,

This is the first time I've been on this listserv, but wanted you to
know that NEWIST produce a 30-minute documentary about women and
poverty: Shelter from the Storm presents the stories of four single
mothers who faced the challenge of escaping poverty to find affordable,
adequate housing. Everyday struggles with transportation and quality
daycare hinder their attempts to locate and hold better paying jobs.

Hello, Meghann,

 

Bullfrog Films offers the following documentary titles you may want to
consider:

 

1.  The Motherhood Manifesto  (DVD, 2007, 6 chapters/58 minutes, $250)

Looks at the obstacles facing working mothers and families and the
employer and public policy changes needed to restore work-life balance.


"Builds compelling arguments for women's pay equity, saner work hours,
flexible and part-time work, child care programs, and universal health
care for children. We hear the voices of mothers asserting what strikes
this viewer as reasonable, even modest, demands for basic needs and a
balance between work and family responsibilities...engaging and
humorous...Timely."  Cynthia Ninivaggi, Georgian Court University,
Anthropology of Work Review

 

2. This Black Soil  (DVD, 58 minutes, 2004, $250)

http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/this.html

Chronicles the successful community struggle of Bayview, VA, under the
leadership of visionary women, to pursue a new goal of prosperity.

* ALA Notable Videos for Adults

 

"This black soil is unique in that the filmmaker is able to document a
decade long process of American activism at the grassroots level. It
serves as a motivational and inspirational story for all social
activists. Highly Recommended."   Monique Threatt, Educational Media
Reviews Online

Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for this opportunity.

Dear CW,

Again, the operative words are current (within the last few years),
short (50 minutes or less), and *not* internationally-focused.

Re: [Videolib] Documentaries on Women and Labor / Poverty /Trafficking

[Meghann Matwichuk]

True.  Instructors could also achieve this with a supplemental viewing 
list where students could come in to the library and view the hard 
copy.  But at the end of the day, we're responsible for responding to 
the instructors requests / needs as they see them (within law and as 
resources allow, of course).  My point was only that I realize there are 
many worthwhile, valuable films out there, but if an instructor wants to 
do all his / her viewing in class, in person, for whatever reason -- 
we've got to work within those parameters.


Best,
Meghann

Thanks, Gary...  I didn't want to seem ungrateful (and I'm hoping 
these recommendations may be useful to others -- I was able to see The 
Price of Sex at SilverDocs and it's a fantastic film -- but these 
caveats are really crucial to the professor I'm working with.  Oh, and 
one other note...  LESS THAN 50 MINUTES!!!  LESS THAN 50 MINUTES!!!  
LESS THAN 50 MINUTES!!!  ;)


It breaks my heart that she can't use some of the longer films, but 
she wants to stick with what she can show in her 50 minute class, 
preferably with time for discussion.  Unfortunately I haven't yet 
figured how to warp the space-time continuum on behalf of our instructors.

Hi Meghann,

  


WMM has a few films that fit what you're looking for.

  


--

  


THE PRICE OF SEX -http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c804.shtml

  


An unprecedented and compelling inquiry into a dark side of immigration

so difficult to cover or probe with depth, THE PRICE OF SEX sheds light

on the underground criminal network of human trafficking and experiences

of trafficked Eastern European women forced into prostitution abroad.

  


---

  


DISH: WOMEN, WAITRESSING, AND THE ART OF SERVICE -

http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c808.shtml

  


Why do women bring your food at local diners, while in high-end

establishments waiters are almost always men? DISH, by Maya Gallus,

answers this question in a delicious, well-crafted deconstruction of

waitressing and our collective fascination with an enduring popular

icon.

  


---

  


THE PEACEKEEPRS AND THE WOMEN -

http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c651.shtml

  


Winner of the Arte-Documentary Award for Best German Documentary, this

chilling investigation examines the booming sex-trafficking industry in

Bosnia and Kosovo, and boldly explores the disturbing role of the UN

peacekeeping forces and the local military in perpetuating this tragic

situation.

  




  


TEA&  JUSTICE: NYPD'S 1ST ASIAN WOMEN OFFICERS -

http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c779.shtml

  


Tea&  Justice chronicles the experiences of three women who joined the

New York Police Department during the 1980s-the first Asian women to

become members of a force that was largely white and predominantly male.

  


Also, be sure to check out our Special Collection on Women&  Labor

Re: [Videolib] Not specifically video - Court rules limits on rule of first sale for works manufactured outside the US

[Jessica Rosner]

Well yes it is. Some companies have done this with DVDs in the US. It has
always been a grey area but there are whole web sites/companies that sell
say Israeli or Indian films in the US. However there the issue is much more
complex because in general these are copies purchase and regular retail
wholesale prices. I think another issue here would be if the same titles had
any US distribution and for new releases in particular there tends to be a
lag time so say Kino, Zeitgeist and others get screwed when a film they
bought shows up on eBay & Amazon etc being sold from a US location.

I would add that this should not impact buying legal copies of films from
vendor's outside the US

Re: [Videolib] Not specifically video - Court rules limits on rule of first sale for works manufactured outside the US

[Beth Clausen]

The big news for libraries is the potential negative effect on Interlibrary 
Loan. If this holds - it is expected that this may nullify the first sale 
doctrine for foreign-manufactured materials such as books (and dvds) and 
therefore limit a library's ability to loan the items. Can't imagine having to 
start to explain this to patrons - or try to follow this.

At least this is my understanding...but I'm not a lawyer. I look forward to 
some statements by people who are experts in both the law and libraries.

Well yes it is. Some companies have done this with DVDs in the US. It has 
always been a grey area but there are whole web sites/companies that sell say 
Israeli or Indian films in the US. However there the issue is much more complex 
because in general these are copies purchase and regular retail wholesale 
prices. I think another issue here would be if the same titles had any US 
distribution and for new releases in particular there tends to be a lag time so 
say Kino, Zeitgeist and others get screwed when a film they bought shows up on 
eBay & Amazon etc being sold from a US location.

I would add that this should not impact buying legal copies of films from 
vendor's outside the US

Re: [Videolib] Not specifically video - Court rules limits on rule of first sale for works manufactured outside the US

[Jessica Rosner]

No I don't think so. This was a commercial case of a company importing
cheaper copies to sell in the US. I don't think library copies legally
purchased from outside the US would be effected.

You may not believe this but companies are not that petty and don't have
that much time unless like this is a widespread attempt to profit on
someone's copyright or contract.

[Videolib] This is news?

[Deg Farrelly]

Beth summed it up beautifully.

The rule of first sale was one of the arguments that defeated the attempt by 
the MPAA to stop video rental stores in the 1970s.
Libraries have long depended on the rule of first sale a the underpinning of 
services.

Copyright followers have been tracking this issue since the SWATCH/COSCO 
trademark case which is very similar.

As more and more printing and production move out of the US, this will surely 
have impact on libraries, possibly necessitating licensing to allow activities 
that are now unquestionably permitted without approval by the publisher.

Re: [Videolib] This is news?

[Jessica Rosner]

I still think you are overreacting, one  key feature of this case was that
the company involved was importing CHEAPER versions of the same titles the
company distributed in the US, one presumes  libraries are buying a special
item NOT otherwise for sale here. Again I can see this effecting companies
that import and resell in the US, but  not when you buy directly from legal
overseas source like Amazon. As I mentioned one major exception might be new
releases that some impatient professor does not want to wait an extra six
months to use  (and this is very complex anyway because it is hard to know
which films have or will acquire US distribution). Another major issue would
of course be that in the case of DVDs there could be no transfer from say
PAL, but that is the law anyway.

If the issue is buying a single import copy from a legal overseas
distributor and allowing it to be loaned under the same terms any legal copy
would be, I can't see it changing. I would not hold your breath for Gaumont
to tell you not to allow one of their films not distributed in the US on
inter library loan.

[Videolib] archival DVD

[Jo Ann Reynolds]

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to make me an archival
copy of "Living with Dying" , directed by Reevan Dolgoy and produced by
Dale Phillips, 1991, 27 min, 27 s put out by the National Film Board of
Canada? It is no longer for sale on their site and I've not been able to
find it for sale elsewhere, used or new. We've tried to get it via ILL
but no one will loan it out.

 

Thanks,

Jo Ann

Re: [Videolib] archival DVD

Um I hate to point out the obvious but that is illegal. You can't make an
"archival " copy of a film you never owned.
Did you check with NFB for any further info?

Hi Jo Ann

What you're asking for is most likely illegal.

Did your institution own a legally acquired copy of the VHS?

 Hey Gary,

 Do you have a link to your list of VHS ONLY titles??  We've embarked

 Thanks!

 Hi

 No updates on this end.

 It may go without saying, but...I'd definitely focus on non-fiction
 film first (maybe exclusively).

 When approaching feature (i.e. non-fiction), start with foreign
 language films first.

 There are certain distributors that are no longer in business:

  Films Incorporated
  Time-Life Film and Video
  Coronet Films (mostly)
  Carousel Films
  CRM Films
  National Latino Communications Center (NLCC)  Drift Distribution
 International Film Bureau  International Media Resource Exchange
 (IMRE)

 University of California Center for Media and Independent Learning
 (note:
  some titles in this catalog are still distributed by Berkeley Media
 LLC)


 Likely to be Out of Distribution

 PBS Home Video/PBS Video:  films with release dates before 2000
 Annenberg/CPB Project pre-2000 CPB New Yorker Film and Video (feature
 films)

 Anything distributed by a non-profit organizations, or academic
 institutions (e.g American Mathematical Assn.) pre-2000

 Available for re-purchase on VHS only (and therefor not eligible for
 Section 108 copying)

 Roland Films on Art (many titles in this catalog only available on
 VHS) Lannan Foundation Video Library (available on VHS only)

All are welcome to join the editing fun. There's an"edit this page"
button at the top. Additionally I can scan changes in the "history"
(and undo any erroneous or spam info if necessary) so there probably
isn't a need to duplicate that. I fond it very helpful when
contributors add recent release info to titles as well as info about
titles available outside of the US.

Thanks, all. Obviously my memory failed me on the archival issue.

NFB is checking in to it why they are no longer selling it and will get

That's why I love this list.

What you're asking for is most likely illegal.

Did your institution own a legally acquired copy of the VHS?

I wonder if some enterprising media librarian(s) should compile a

Sure. It's meant as a community reference tool so mentioning that

one might be able to find a used copy. There are other titles on there
with similar notations as I recall.

[Claire Stewart]

Regardless of how the work was acquired or brought to the U.S., the ruling that 
has been made appears to say that first sale does not apply to works 
manufactured abroad. If that were so, libraries would not be able to rely on 
first sale to loan (via regular circulation services, via ILL, via anything) 
copies that weren't produced inside the United States.  That's pretty basic 
library rights stuff, and it's a pretty big deal. You can also see how it would 
entice producers to offshore all of their printing and production operations, 
because once they're making stuff outside of the U.S., no matter how it's 
acquired or brought into the U.S. (via resellers with appropriate distribution 
rights nor not), there would be no right of first sale.  I don't think anyone 
is overreacting in thinking this is a big news.

No I don't think so. This was a commercial case of a company importing cheaper 
copies to sell in the US. I don't think library copies legally purchased from 
outside the US would be effected.

You may not believe this but companies are not that petty and don't have that 
much time unless like this is a widespread attempt to profit on someone's 
copyright or contract.

Well yes it is. Some companies have done this with DVDs in the US. It has 
always been a grey area but there are whole web sites/companies that sell say 
Israeli or Indian films in the US. However there the issue is much more complex 
because in general these are copies purchase and regular retail wholesale 
prices. I think another issue here would be if the same titles had any US 
distribution and for new releases in particular there tends to be a lag time so 
say Kino, Zeitgeist and others get screwed when a film they bought shows up on 
eBay & Amazon etc being sold from a US location.

I would add that this should not impact buying legal copies of films from 
vendor's outside the US

the market for Lincoln/Civil War completely crowded by a ton of other docs?

Re: [Videolib] Not specifically video - Court rules limits on rule of first sale for works manufactured outside the US

[Jessica Rosner]

OK I know this seems like the world turned upside down in terms of my saying
the law would still permit both sale and loan of the material. There are two
key bits here, one is that you are buying the item DIRECTLY from the source
( at least in my view) you are NOT importing it for resale. Inter library
loan is not a sale. The way you are interpreting this it would be illegal
for a person to buy a copy of book or DVD from any Amazon site overseas and
loan it to a friend. Right of first sale is what allows something to be
RESOLD, I don't anywhere that it would limit a loan or library circulation.

I also don't see where it would encourage publishers or studios to produce
material overseas. I think that is way too literal. If Sony or Random House
has the copies that they sell IN THE US, made in Mexico it would  not make
them no longer available to be resold. The issue here and in Cosco involved
third party sales.

Re: [Videolib] "VHS ONLY" updates?

[Williams, Alex O.]

Cool list! I just did an "edit" to remove Ken Loach's "Kes," which was also
recently released by Criterion, and Polanski's "Cul-de-Sac," which came out
on Criterion today! Been hoping for that one for years.

Are you also removing titles from the list if/when they're put on DVD-R ~ in
the Warner Archives and Columbia Classics collections, for example?

Sure. It's meant as a community reference tool so mentioning that
something was briefly available on DVD but no longer is useful info as
one might be able to find a used copy. There are other titles on there
with similar notations as I recall.

Re: [Videolib] "VHS ONLY" updates?

[Grant, Tyra]

I think it's wise practice to leave previously unavailable titles on the list 
(for a while at least) and note newly available titles with a date and 
distributor.  Maybe there also could be a 'bullpen' for new candidates---videos 
suspected of being unavailable on DVD.
What a terrific tool---thanks.

Re: [Videolib] Not specifically video - Court rules limits on rule of first sale for works manufactured outside the US

[Claire Stewart]

The issue of encouraging printing/production to go overseas was specifically 
discussed in the court proceedings. You'll see it summarized in the document 
Deg sent.

I can see why it's confusing, but the fact that section 109 is generally 
referred to as the first sale doctrine does not mean that it only applies to 
commercial transactions. It limits the copyright holder's control to the 
initial sale of the work, and permits them no right to control what is done 
with the work once purchased. It's what makes it legal for secondhand 
bookstores to exist, for libraries to loan books for free, and, yes, for me to 
loan a book to a friend.

OK I know this seems like the world turned upside down in terms of my saying 
the law would still permit both sale and loan of the material. There are two 
key bits here, one is that you are buying the item DIRECTLY from the source ( 
at least in my view) you are NOT importing it for resale. Inter library loan is 
not a sale. The way you are interpreting this it would be illegal for a person 
to buy a copy of book or DVD from any Amazon site overseas and loan it to a 
friend. Right of first sale is what allows something to be RESOLD, I don't 
anywhere that it would limit a loan or library circulation.

I also don't see where it would encourage publishers or studios to produce 
material overseas. I think that is way too literal. If Sony or Random House has 
the copies that they sell IN THE US, made in Mexico it would  not make them no 
longer available to be resold. The issue here and in Cosco involved third party 
sales.

No I don't think so. This was a commercial case of a company importing cheaper

outside the US would be effected.

You may not believe this but companies are not that petty and don't have that

[Videolib] question about public performance rights

[matthew . wright]

We have a number of old (very old, in some cases) films (often VHS) that 
when we purchased them came with public performance rights.  I have proof 
of this from the catalogs/orders/receipts saved from that time period. 
Most just say, "includes public performance rights" which is about all 
their web sites say even today.  I am referring to vendors like New Day, 
Filmmakers Library, Women Make Movies, Icarus, Bullfrog, etc. 

I have been trying to convert some of our old VHS Tapes to DVD where the 
film is popular and if we have money to do so.  In a few cases, the vendor 
we purchased the tape from no longer has the rights or no longer sells the 
film (in any format).  I am wondering if we still have public performance 
rights to these films?

If a vendor says, "includes public performance rights" does that ever 
expire (when an expiration date is not provided, like ABC News, which 
lists an expiration date)?  Can I still show these films as part of a 
campus film festival? 

Thanks,
Matthew

Re: [Videolib] Not specifically video - Court rules limits on rule of first sale for works manufactured outside the US

The summery quotes the lawyer for the defendent and says one judge may have
been swayed by the arguement but that does not mean that is what the ruling
said or meant. This statement from a judge ruling for the majority seems to
summarize why the ruled the way they did, and making copies of your product
for the US , outside the US to obliterate the law of first sale  does not
seem to be at all what he is agreeing to/

"it is obviously intended to allow copyright holders some flexibility to
divide or treat differently the international and domestic markets for the
particular copyright item,"

Also  you are saying the ruling would  make it illegal for you to both buy
and loan to a friend a book or DVD you buy outside the US?

Re: [Videolib] Not specifically video - Court rules limits on rule of first sale for works manufactured outside the US

[Jessica Rosner]

Sorry one last thing before I head off to dinner. I find it pretty specious
of the defense lawyer to  claim this was or would lead to rights holders
manufacturing items outside the US to prevent them from being subject to the
right of first sale. What the rights holder was objecting to in this case
was importing cheaper copies of materials already available in the US to
undercut their market. There is no reason to believe Wiley had any intention
to limit first sale rights to copies they did in fact sell in the US.

[Videolib] Limits on rule of first sale

[Deg Farrelly]

I've never maintained that this ruling makes anything that libraries are 
currently doing illegal

The point of my message was to point out that this is an issue that has already 
been widely discussed in the (predominantly print) library world, and MAY lead 
to changes in how libraries may use materials.  The Charleston Conference in 
2010 had a lengthy presentation on the "chilling effect" of the Swatch/Costco 
case that may impact monograph publishers and library services.

This ruling seems to go down a similar path and may have ramifications down the 
road.

I am not trying to run up a ladder of inference or overly speculate... But what 
I most fear is that as more printing and manufacturing moves out of the USA, 
such a ruling will ultimately lead to libraries having to negotiate licenses 
for uses of library materials that now are covered by first sale

I think, unless there was actually a time limit written into the PPR contract, 
then the PPR is for the life of the item.

>>>  8/16/2011 3:23 PM >>>
We have a number of old (very old, in some cases) films (often VHS) that when 
we purchased them came with public performance rights.  I have proof of this 
from the catalogs/orders/receipts saved from that time period.  Most just say, 
"includes public performance rights" which is about all their web sites say 
even today.  I am referring to vendors like New Day, Filmmakers Library, Women 
Make Movies, Icarus, Bullfrog, etc.  

I have been trying to convert some of our old VHS Tapes to DVD where the film 
is popular and if we have money to do so.  In a few cases, the vendor we 
purchased the tape from no longer has the rights or no longer sells the film 
(in any format).  I am wondering if we still have public performance rights to 
these films?

If a vendor says, "includes public performance rights" does that ever expire 
(when an expiration date is not provided, like ABC News, which lists an 
expiration date)?  Can I still show these films as part of a campus film 
festival?  

Thanks,
Matthew

Re: [Videolib] question about public performance rights

[matthew . wright]

But the tapes are still in good condition and work great and many have not 
been used all that much.  I was trying to convert for convenience for 
those that prefer DVD, but if that is not an option, then we will keep the 
VHS since its works.  But I wonder if I can market it as part of campus 
film festivals.

Um well since you can't convert the VHS to DVD without the rights holders 
permission this kind of a moot point. I don't know if you have any old 
contract but a lot them specified life of tape anyway.

Re: [Videolib] question about public performance rights

[ghandman]

I think Jessica may have beat me to it but...

You're talking about two radically different things here:

1.  First:  making DVD copies from vhs or other formats can only be done
under the provisions of Section 108...these provisions are pretty
specific.  Doing the deed for convenience sake alone is not one of these
provisions.  The vendors you mention would all be glad to sell you DVD
copies of most of the films you originally bought from them on
vhs...that's the road you need to take.

2.  PPR are usually granted for the life of the physical package.  Once
the tape conks out, so do the rights.

Re: [Videolib] question about public performance rights

[matthew . wright]

I would never make copies of the VHS tapes.  I was trying to buy DVD's of 
old VHS tapes.  I was trying to BUY dvd's for convenience sake for those 
patrons that prefer that format and in each case was willing to pay for 
public performance rights.   In cases where that was not a possibility, I 
decided that we would hang on to the VHS tape and keep using it.  I just 
wanted to make sure that in the cases where we keep the VHS tape that we 
can still use the VHS tape for public performance rights, like campus film 
festivals. 

Many of the titles I found out cannot be purchased in DVD or VHS format 
any longer.  They are simply not available in any format.  But, we get 
requests for them so we use the VHS.  I am sorry I was not clear. I only 
wanted to know if we could keep using the VHS for public performance.

Re: [Videolib] vhs only list (again)

[Williams, Alex O.]

That might have been me, Gary. I was trying to remove Youssef Chahine's
"Cairo Station" from the list, since we actually put that out on DVD a few
years ago... but when I went back to the list it was still there. I like
Tyra's idea though of leaving newly available titles on the list for awhile
with availability date/info so that people who go to the list will see which
long-unavailable titles can now be acquired— like "Savage Messiah," "Zazie
Dans Le Metro," "The Moon Is Blue," "Cul-de-Sac," "Kes," and "Cairo Station"
for example... so I put the things I'd removed back on the list w/ current
distributor info.

Great!

The problem I was talking about was the fact that if, say, I'm working on
the list and then someone gets in and out with changes while I'm still
working, and then I shoot my changes over--they wipe out the edits that
came before.
