Re: [Videolib] Lifetime Streaming Rights

2012-04-04 Thread Jessica Rosner
It would  depend on the nature of Apple's contracts. Most distributors have
rights for a limited time and thus can not legally sell an item beyond that
term. Streaming to an entire system such as an institution is very
different from home use. Some rights holders will permit lifetime streaming
but most major studios  foreign rights holders will not. I have had
discussions with a few leading copyright lawyers and they are frankly
stunned that anyone would sell rights beyond the term of a contract. It is
not the same as buying a DVD, it is the same as broadcast and it is
certainly well established that you can not sell broadcast rights beyond
the term of a contract. If this were in fact legal it would be clearly
defined in the contract with the rights holder. I would strongly advise
anyone considering buying lifetime  to check directly with the rights
holder to see if this is in fact covered in the contract.

On Tue, Apr 3, 2012 at 2:13 PM, Bob Norris b...@filmideas.com wrote:

 I hate to bring up a copyright issue again but...

 There was recently a discussion if it is acceptable for a distributor to
 grant Lifetime streaming rights. There was a faction that argued it is
 acceptable as long as you limit the rights to a single digital format and
 do not allow the buyer to transcode the file to a new format. They could
 use the original file as long as it plays on their streaming service just
 like they could use a DVD as long as it works. The analogy was made to a
 download in the consumer market not having a time restriction.

 I was recently discussing this with an institution that wants to stream in
 perpetuity in any format. I said Apple does not permit that and she asked
 if that was through a technical limitation/DRM or the Terms and Conditions
 agreement. I had to admit I did not know. So I reviewed the terms (
 http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE) and can see no
 restriction about copying files to a new format. They only limit playback
 to 5 iTunes approved devices and do not allow iTunes video to be burned,
 which I think means to disc. Then I transcoded a m4a file to an ACC file
 and played it back no problem. So it looks like Apple is selling the right
 to play back in any digital format in perpetuity.

 Am I missing something?

[Videolib] For promotional use only * Not for Broadcast...?

2012-04-04 Thread Jane Blume
Depression: Out of the Shadows

One of our nursing instructors gave us this PBS DVD to add to collection. On 
the front of the DVD it states: For Promotional Use Only * Not for Broadcast. 
Our cataloger mentioned she had not seen this on a DVD before. I've watched it 
and looked on the website and cannot find any other words of 
caution/wisdom/insight. It is 2 hours long, not a promotional type of length.

I am assuming the Not for Broadcast means no PPR. Is this correct? We are a 
little stymied by the For Promotional Use Only.

Do we need to ask the instructor how she obtained it?

Is it OK to add to our circulating collection?

Thank you all for your collective wisdom in advance.

There is no wording in the US copyright law that supports the stance that these 
items cannot be added to a collection. 

There * is * case law that supports the use of promotional copies

In 2011 the 9th Circuit ruled in Universal Music Group v. Augusto that 
promotional copies in essence transfer ownership, and thus are covered by the 
First Sale Doctrine (section 109, Copyright Act).  

Thus the DVD is a gift, that can be transferred, and is a legally acquired copy.

Re: [Videolib] For promotional use only

2012-04-04 Thread Jessica Rosner
Actually the music case involved a copy that only came in a label marked
promotional use. I am assuming this DVD came with promotional use warning
on the actual DVD. The case you mention specifically involved a label not
an actual notice on the DVD itself ( which of course would be be
impractical with music). I am also unclear if the item in question is even
released on video. Obviously I don't know the nature of the promotional use
writing. In general it appears either throughout a DVD or flashes every
few minutes which would make it unsuitable for library use ( which of
course is the point). A number of studios carefully mark screeners and
aggressively go after anyone who sells them, but in general that involves a
very detailed watermark allowing the rights holder to track each copy.

Dear deg,

I'm wondering if this was covered in the case but we put PROPERTY OF
MILESTONE on each of our screeners with the idea that they are on loan from
us and not *given* to the critic. (I assume others do this as well.) Since
we rarely ask for them back, I don't know if this would hold up in court.

Broadcast...?

 No for promotional use only means it was a screener send for review and
 is lot a real copy that can be used in a collection. I am not sure what
 you mean by promotional length. Screeners sent for review/ promotion are
 almost always full length.


 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.
