[Videolib] BBC Proposes Downloading Service (Jeremy Wilcox)
Hi All As some of you will know, I represent BBC Active Video for Learning, the educational joint-venture between Pearson and BBC Worldwide in the UK. I thought I'd drop a note on here regarding the interesting news from the BBC about Project Barcelona, which proposes to open up the BBC archive for the purpose of paid-for downloads. My understanding is that, upon approval, this will be a UK-only service, available to licence fee payers. If successful, I'm sure there would be moves to commercialise it internationally but because of existing rights arrangements it is difficult to see how this would be into educational markets. The correct path for North American educational rights to BBC programmes is and will remain via our service (www.bbcactivevideoforlearning.com) and that of our well-known authorised educational distributors in the region. I was interested to see the comment from Randal that a lot of BBC programming is not available in the US. At a consumer level this might be true but for education we, or our distributors, can provide huge swathes of the factual BBC archive for teaching use. We have a large listing of BBC programming and we operate as the gateway to the archive for anything which isn't listed too - and we'd love to hear from you!

Re: [Videolib] PPR Question: Where do you post your event info?
Deg and Chris, We put our PPR statement in the 540 field so if patrons do a keyword search for "public performance rights" they'll find any title that has it. In terms of promoting the videos that have PPR, in my experience it's hardly ever those videos that people want to screen. Which makes it all the harder having to pay for it. I'm so glad for distributors who are willing/able to sell without PPR.

Re: [Videolib] Facets launches EDU site with streaming rights
I had the opposite reaction, assuming this would preclude me from buying at the individual rate as we have been, e.g. Menschenfrauen for $19.95. There are too few students and inadequate bandwidth at my college to make streaming a desirable or viable option. And we don't need PPR because we are very strict about only allowing viewing permitted under fair use and TEACH. And on principle, as a builder of library collections, I want to purchase, not license, what I pay for. Remember once you agree to a license, you've relinquished your rights under copyright law.

Re: [Videolib] Facets launches EDU site with streaming rights
Well, isn't this basically the same deal as other streaming: if it works for your institution in terms of cost-effectiveness and general utility, it works. If not, not...stick with the DVD. I must say that the current FACETS list of titles available for streaming license is limited...but I understand that it's gonna grow. We're already deep into licensing print content (remember journals?)...I balk at term licensing, because it pisses me off to buy the same title every 3-5 years. On the other hand, the ability to acquire a heavily-used title for streaming in-perpetuity is pretty damn cool...even at $500.

Re: [Videolib] Facets launches EDU site with streaming rights
We're good as long as Facets allows us to continue buying the "individual" DVD. See the Menschenfrauen page as an example where one might be steered towards selecting one of the Educational Options because some vendors insist that we cannot purchase without PPR. btw when we ordered Menschenfrauen there was no Educational Option.

Re: [Videolib] Facets launches EDU site with streaming rights
I get a little concerned when distributors offer lifetime rights on what I would describe as standard feature films, especially foreign ones. I have been working with Flicker Alley to offer their titles with lifetime streaming rights and while they are able to do this with many, but not all of their silent films, it will rarely work when major or even minor rights holders outside the US (as well as ones in the US) are involved. Before buying anything with lifetime rights I would make sure the seller certifies that have a contract with the rights holder that specifically allows them to do it. You do not want a rights holder coming back and telling that the company was not entitled to sell those rights. I believe sometimes this is a matter of interpretation, but I feel strongly that unless a rights holder specifically agrees to such sales by contract, bad things can happen in the future. Any rights holder with sense would agree, but foreign rights holder in particular seem allergic to the concept of lifetime rights. I think Facets has some special relationships with particular filmmakers, but it is a problem for the vast majority of feature films not owned by studios ( they clearly have rights on most of their titles but I don't see them offering lifetime streaming right any time soon). I don't mean to go too "inside baseball" on everyone but since this is basically a very new type of rights not previously included in existing contracts, I would just be careful to make sure there is written agreement ( even if it is just an email) between rights holders and distributors to sell lifetime rights. I am sure distributors are trying to get lifetime streaming rights but other than studios and directors I just don't see a lot of rights holders agreeing. It is likely easier with non fiction films or at least that has been my experience so far. It is going to be a bumpy ride as rights, new distribution methods and copyright laws are posing a lot of new questions and opportunities.

Re: [Videolib] Facets launches EDU site with streaming rights
A lot of people ask me if Zeitgeist can sell them perpetual streaming/ digital site rights and the answer is "no" for the very reasons Jessica mentioned. We have not negotiated lifetime rights for any of our titles and therefore cannot offer lifetime rights, streaming or otherwise to buyers. We DO sell DVDs with public performance rights and those rights are good for the life of the disc. But we feel comfortable giving these out as the material will eventually deteriorate and we are not guaranteeing anything in perpetuity. I'm not going to judge or try to expose other companies who operate in a similar manner to Zeitgeist (distributing feature theatrical films) that are attempting to sell these rights - but as per Jessica's note I would be a little wary. If they negotiate contracts in a similar manner to us than there is absolutely nothing in these contracts stating that we/they can sell perpetual streaming or digital site licenses to institutions as of yet. I imagine most rights holders would balk at reading something like that in a contract but then again, we've also never attempted to put that in. Maybe other companies have. If and when we DO put something like that in our contract for one of our titles I will advertise as much.

I have been working with Flicker Alley to offer their titles with lifetime streaming rights and while they are able to do this with many, but not all of their silent films, it will rarely work when major or even minor rights holders outside the US (as well as ones in the US) are involved. Before buying anything with lifetime rights I would make sure the seller certifies that have a contract with the rights holder that specifically allows them to do it. You do not want a rights holder coming back and telling that the company was not entitled to sell those rights. I believe sometimes this is a matter of interpretation, but I feel strongly that unless a rights holder specifically agrees to such sales by contract, bad things can happen in the future. Any rights holder with sense would agree, but foreign rights holder in particular seem allergic to the concept of lifetime rights. I think Facets has some special relationships with particular filmmakers, but it is a problem for the vast majority of feature films not owned by studios ( they clearly have rights on most of their titles but I don't see them offering lifetime streaming right any time soon). I don't mean to go too "inside baseball" on everyone but since this is basically a very new type of rights not previously included in existing contracts, I would just be careful to make sure there is written agreement ( even if it is just an email) between rights holders and distributors to sell lifetime rights. I am sure distributors are trying to get lifetime streaming rights but other than studios and directors I just don't see a lot of rights holders agreeing. It is likely easier with non fiction films or at least that has been my experience so far.

Re: [Videolib] Facets launches EDU site with streaming rights
For things sold at a retail/ individual price I agree you should only have to purchase rights you actually need, however with the position of some institutions that they don't need any rights to stream complete feature works the issue becomes complicated. I believe that for "educational" films for which home use copies are either not sold or whose sales are 100% controlled by the distributor ( as in no third party sales like Amazon, Action Media etc.) distributors should in fact absolutely require purchasers to agree in writing that unless streaming rights are purchased the film can not be streamed.
