Programs Available to Stream Online


Note: Some very exciting news about a project we've been following for a few 
years and have posted about many times. Links to several background posts are 
found below today's news.

What's new today is that along with a formal launch is that some streaming 
content (approx. 7,000 programs and more to come) is available online via the 
American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) database. The database 
itself became available (with metadata only) 
during April 
2015.

Congrats to the AAPB Team!

>From Today's (October 27, 2015) Launch 
>Announcement:

With contributions from more than 100 public media organizations across the 
country, programs that for decades have gathered dust on shelves are now 
available to stream on the AAPB website. This rich 
collection of programs dating from the 1940s to the 2010s will help tell the 
stories of local communities throughout the nation in the last half of the 20th 
century and first decade of the 21st.

[Clip]

Initially launched in April 2015 with 2.5 million inventory records, the AAPB 
website has added nearly 7,000 audiovisual 
streaming files of historical content from public media stations across the 
country. The Library of Congress, WGBH Boston and the Corporation for Public 
Broadcasting have embarked on an unprecedented initiative to preserve 
historical public television and radio programs of the past 70 years.

The Content

Nearly 40,000 hours, comprising 68,000 digital files, of historical public 
broadcasting content have been preserved. On the website, nearly 7,000 of these 
American public radio and television programs dating back to the 1940s are now 
accessible to the public. These audio and video materials, contributed by more 
than 100 public broadcasting organizations across the country, are an exciting 
new resource to uncover ways that common concerns over the past half-century 
have played out on the local scene. Users are encouraged to check back often, 
as AAPB staff continue to add more content to the website. The entire 
collection of 40,000 hours is available for research on location at WGBH and 
the Library of Congress.

[Clip]

The collection includes interviews and performances by local and national 
luminaries from a broad variety of professions and cultural genres. Just a few 
examples of the items in the collection include: Pacifica Radio Archives' 1956 
interview with Rosa Parks during the Montgomery Bus Boycott; KCTS 9's 1999 live 
broadcast from the opening reception of the World Trade Organization's Seattle 
Summit; and New England Public Radio's 1974 debate between U.S. Rep. Martha 
Griffiths, sponsor of the Equal Rights Amendment, and Phyllis Schlafly, the 
main opponent of the ERA.

Just using logic, not law, since the Face to Face exemption allows you to use a 
personal home video in the classroom when the teacher is present, then it seems 
a streaming sight that allows personal access to all could be used in the 
classroom too. It would not infer PPR.  That is my guess.

Re: [Videolib] New 1201 exemptions

2015-10-28 Thread Andrew Horbal
Hi Michael,

I’ve was holding off on responding to this thread until I’ve had a chance to 
peruse the new exemptions, but I’m not positive I’m going to get around to this 
before the weekend, so, briefly: the exemptions only apply to the DMCA’s 
prohibition on overriding technological copy protections. My reading is that 
while you no longer have to worry about the DMCA if you qualify for one of 
these exemptions, you do still need to make a separate fair use argument to 
justify your use of the copyrighted work being protected. If your use was found 
to not be fair, you would be guilty of copyright infringement; you would not, 
however, be guilty of violating the DMCA (because you were exempted from it).

I mostly agree with Jessica. However, I have questions about what 1201 allows 
and doesn’t allow in these cases. It seems to me that the 1201 exemptions and 
fair use (or other exceptions) are different things and are supposed to be 
considered separately. Couldn’t one potentially legally circumvent encryption, 
but still violate the law, depending on the actual “fairness” of the actual 
use.? If anyone out there knows the answer to this, I’d be interested in 
hearing it.

For example, could I circumvent encryption for a particular use (a 
noncommercial documentary, my dissertation on film, etc.), but in using the 
“heart of a work” still be able to be sued for copyright infringement, or does 
my adherence to the 1201 rule keep me safe?

My very quick take is that it expands both formats ( blu ray , streaming now 
included) and users who can break encryption use portions ( clips) of AV works. 
Not sure I see a big effect on university stuff as I don't really know if folks 
felt constrained about using clips in any class/stream though I guess profs 
will like blu ray option.  The biggest change I see is only tangential  to 
academic use but it seems to basically eliminate the need to ever license a 
clip for documentary or fiction av work.
The  important thing from my evil perspective of working with filmmakers and 
distributors is that they rejected the request for any exemptions allowing 
educational ( or any) user to go beyond using "limited portions" of works.
I am sure others will find much more

Re: [Videolib] American Archive of Public Broadcasting Launches

2015-10-28 Thread Andrew Horbal
Hi everybody,

A few thoughts on some of the recent posts in this thread:

1. Whether or not use by a professor in face-to-face teaching can qualify as a 
"personal" use is a gray area, in my opinion. As far as I know, there's no case 
law which provides clarity on the matter. Informally, I would say that while a 
slight majority of the IP lawyers I've heard address this issue have indicated 
that they think it isn't, nearly as many have suggested that it's possible to 
make a fairly strong argument that showing a film to the small group of 
students in your class isn't vastly different from having a movie night with 
your family and friends.

2. 110(1) does provide an exemption for face-to-face teaching, but if you agree 
to licensing terms which restrict your use to just "personal" uses, and if you 
believe that face-to-face teaching isn't a "personal" use, then 110(1) does not 
give you permission to show the film in question to your class.

3. The First Sale Doctrine would permit you to resell the DVD (or whatever) you 
purchased form Amazon; it would not, however, permit you to screen the work 
stored on that physical object. To justify a screening a film without explicit 
permission from the rights holder, you'd need to make an argument based on 
110(1), 110(2), fair use, or some other aspect of copyright law-first sale 
isn't very helpful re: performance/display.

As always, I am not a lawyer, so nothing in this email should be construed as 
legal advice-these are only my own personal opinions. Which, by the way, I'm 
always happy to reconsider in the face of a strong opposing argument!

Good discussion, by the way!

Andy

Since this is a freely available website of what were freely available 
broadcasts, I think it's just fine to use it in a classroom.

Thanks Bob. The problem is I've heard that using a personal home video in 
face-to-face classroom (purchased from Amazon or borrowed from Red Box, for 
example) falls into First Sale Doctrine. But using a database whether or not it 
is free or with subscription, falls under license agreement and the terms of 
use.

Just using logic, not law, since the Face to Face exemption allows you to use a 
personal home video in the classroom when the teacher is present, then it seems 
a streaming sight that allows personal access to all could be used in the 
classroom too. It would not infer PPR.  That is my guess.

A copyright question: When I looked at terms of use, they say this site is for 
personal, non-commercial use. I've seen this statement in most sites. What they 
don't say is can the site be used in non-profit educational institutions, in 
classrooms, etc.? The "personal" always make you think you're not allowed to 
use it in class. Any idea?

Re: [Videolib] New 1201 exemptions

2015-10-28 Thread Brewer, Michael M - (brewerm)
Yes. That is my reading of it, too. Thanks Andy. It would be nice if they’d 
just allow for circumvention for uses that are fair or otherwise covered by 
copyright exceptions and leave it at that.

Hi Michael,

I’ve was holding off on responding to this thread until I’ve had a chance to 
peruse the new exemptions, but I’m not positive I’m going to get around to this 
before the weekend, so, briefly: the exemptions only apply to the DMCA’s 
prohibition on overriding technological copy protections. My reading is that 
while you no longer have to worry about the DMCA if you qualify for one of 
these exemptions, you do still need to make a separate fair use argument to 
justify your use of the copyrighted work being protected. If your use was found 
to not be fair, you would be guilty of copyright infringement; you would not, 
however, be guilty of violating the DMCA (because you were exempted from it).

Subject: Re: [Videolib] New 1201 exemptions

I mostly agree with Jessica. However, I have questions about what 1201 allows 
and doesn’t allow in these cases. It seems to me that the 1201 exemptions and 
fair use (or other exceptions) are different things and are supposed to be 
considered separately. Couldn’t one potentially legally circumvent encryption, 
but still violate the law, depending on the actual “fairness” of the actual 
use.? If anyone out there knows the answer to this, I’d be interested in 
hearing it.

For example, could I circumvent encryption for a particular use (a 
noncommercial documentary, my dissertation on film, etc.), but in using the 
“heart of a work” still be able to be sued for copyright infringement, or does 
my adherence to the 1201 rule keep me safe?

Subject: Re: [Videolib] New 1201 exemptions

My very quick take is that it expands both formats ( blu ray , streaming now 
included) and users who can break encryption use portions ( clips) of AV works. 
Not sure I see a big effect on university stuff as I don't really know if folks 
felt constrained about using clips in any class/stream though I guess profs 
will like blu ray option.  The biggest change I see is only tangential  to 
academic use but it seems to basically eliminate the need to ever license a 
clip for documentary or fiction av work.
The  important thing from my evil perspective of working with filmmakers and 
distributors is that they rejected the request for any exemptions allowing 
educational ( or any) user to go beyond using "limited portions" of works.
I am sure others will find much more

Is agreeing to the Terms of Use the same as a license? If so, then I guess the 
Face to Face exemption would not apply in general. In this particular instance 
WGBH could chime in as to their intent.
