[Videolib] One time screening rights?
Greetings everyone, A quick and rough poll - how many of you will purchase one time screening rights for a film? If yes, how do you fund these one-time only screenings? If not, how do you work with faculty to help them get their own funds? You can reply off-list, if anyone is interested I'll share the compiled results.

Re: [Videolib] One time screening rights?
If we can purchase a DVD with PPR for them, we will. If it's a rental, usually not. I'll point them to the correct resource for arranging the rental (Swank, Criterion, Sony, etc), and advise student groups to check on funding from Student Activities. That said, the Library has occasionally partnered with a group if they don't have funding and it makes sense for us to do so.

Re: [Videolib] One time screening rights?
We handle things almost identically to what Patricia does at Wooster. Since we are a small campus, I try to encourage everyone to consider me as the liaison/campus contact for PPR. I like that because: 1) it helps to develop consistency re: process and what's permissible (and not!); 2) where discounts come into play for volume (e.g., Swank MP), it's easier to realize those if there is ONE account for the campus, rather than each student group or faculty member setting up an account; and 3) having one person working on all of the licensing can prevent scheduling conflicts on the campus calendar, thus helping to avoid frustrations over big bucks spent for lousy attendance. I do have a form for reps for student groups to complete with screening particulars, contact into, account number to charge, etc., and it works pretty well.

Re: [Videolib] One time screening rights?
Like Barb and Sarah, I help faculty and student groups. Sometimes curating, other times just connecting them to films, directors, companies like Swank and helping them put panels together. Typically, the groups are responsible for paying any associated public performance rights.

ASU is nearly identical to what Barb does at Minnesota. This may be a matter of institutional size, with smaller institution libraries more likely to cover the cost.

Re: [Videolib] Copyright question: American Playhouse Films
Sorry, once again: 1) The Google decision allowed them to copy the whole work, but not to use or have used its entirety. Only portions. Enough said. 2) With Chamberlain vs. Skylink, Chamberlain lost because it neither alleged copyright infringement nor explained how the access provided by the transmitter facilitated the infringement of any right that the Copyright Act protects. It's was for the use a universal garage door opener and therefore did not have to do with with copyright. That's why the DMCA complaint was overturned. 3) American Broadcasting Companies v. Aereo, Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Reimerdes, RealNetworks, Inc. v. DVD Copy Control Ass'n, Inc. , MGM Studios, Inc. v. 321 Studios and DVD Copy Control Ass'n, Inc. v. Kaleidescape, Inc. are much better guides to DMCA use than Chamberlain vs. Skylink because they deal with DVD and copyright.
