Re: [Videolib] Screening rights in Canada for Churches

2011-11-27 Thread Bergman, Barbara J
The Canadians can better answer this, but last I heard, no video can be shown 
anywhere in Canada without paying the PPR clearance for each screening.  Since 
schools don't get a classroom exemption, I can imagine that churches do.

Thanks for the recipe Gary!   I have a quick question for everyone (I  
am sure there are not many out there today) who is familiar with Canada and 
screening rights.  I got an email from a person who said that her church has 
rights to the show films as a public performance  
without buying the PPR.   I am not sure how this works in Canada or  
with churches.  She seemed to genuinely think it was normal as they have shown 
other films.  Does anyone know?
Thanks!
Joyce

Canadian law as noted is even stricter than US law as it has no classroom
exemption. You could not show a copyrighted film to an audience
in Canada without a license. I presume you can buy a site license in
Canada which would entitle to show films from  a given list for a fixed
fee, but that would still be buying PPR rights so I honestly have know idea
what she means.

  6 whole cloves
  2 cinnamon sticks
  1 teasp salt
  1 1/4 cu water
  2 granny smith apples peeled and cored
  2 firm pears peeled and cored
  1 small yellow onion
  1 cu golden raisins
  1/3 (or more) cup crystallized ginger diced (we're ginger folk, so
  we tend
  to add a bit more)
  1/2 cu whole hazelnuts toasted, skins removed, halved
 
  In deep 6-quart pot combine first 6 ingredients.  Bring to boil over
  med
  heat, stirring frequently to dissolve sugar.  Cook until cranberries
  begin
  to pop open--10-12 min.  Lower heat to simmer.  Stir in rest of stuff
  (apples, pears, raisins, ginger, onion), except nuts.  Continue to
  cook12-15 minutes until quite thick.  Remove from heat and stir in
  hazelnuts.  Discard cinnamon stix and cloves, if you can find them.
  Refrigerate.
 
  Tastes better at room temp.
 
  Enjoy

  It's true - EMRO is great!  But, what I want to know is: what's your
  recipe for cranberry-ginger chutney?  Sounds delish!

  Congrats, Lori.  I don't think the review really does justice to this
  valuable resource.  What it SHOULD have mentioned is the serious
  dearth
  of
  reviews of indie produced and distributed videos, and the important
  role
  played by EMRO in filling this gap.
 
  We all owe you big time for developing and maintaining this valuable
  working tool!

  Thanks to reviewer Mary Northrup for spotting the review of EMRO
  in the
  November issue of Choice!  We were given a �highly recommended�
  rating!
  Thank you, everyone for all your hard work and wonderful
  contributions
  to
  the database. As I�ve mentioned before, EMRO is a group project
  and it
  wouldn�t exist without all of you. You�ve given me one more
  thing to be
  thankful for this Thursday.
 
  I�ve attached a pdf of the article. Have an extra helping of your
  favorite
  Thanksgiving treat to celebrate!
  Best,
  Lori
