CopyTalk Webinar: Section 108 Video Project

Starting in the late 1970s academic libraries built collections of VHS titles 
with an emphasis on supporting classroom teaching. On average, academic 
libraries have more than 3000 VHS tapes.
Eclipsed by robust and rapid adoption of DVDs, the VHS era is now over. But a 
crisis is welling for libraries. Of the hundreds of thousands of VHS recordings 
commercially released, a substantial number never were released on DVD or in 
streaming format. To compound matters, industry experts estimate that various 
forces converge against VHS (age of tapes, irreparable and irreplaceable 
equipment, retirement of VHS technicians) ultimately making the format 
inaccessible by 2027.
Under Section 108 of U.S. Copyright law, libraries have an available remedy to 
this problem. The law allows duplication of some items if prior to duplication, 
a reasonable search determined that an unused copy of the title is not 
available.
This session presents a cooperative database, established to capture the search 
efforts for current distribution of VHS video titles, and to identify titles 
eligible for duplication under Section 108.


Our speaker will be deg farrelly, who has been a media librarian for 40 years, 
the last 25 at Arizona State University. He has played instrumental roles at 
multiple companies in the development of streaming video collections and 
licensing, including the first PDA, the first subscription, and the first EBA 
models. Co-investigator of two national studies, "The Survey of Academic 
Library Streaming Video" (2013) and "Academic Library Streaming Video 
Revisited" (2015), farrelly writes and presents frequently on issues related to 
streaming video.

Re: [Videolib] streaming rights for TV series?

[Carla Myers]

Please excuse the treatise, but there are a few things I wish to comment on!


The TEACH Act (17 USC Section 110(2)) and fair use (17 USC Section 107) are two 
different statutes. Keep them separate! If you're going to apply fair use to a 
situation then work through the four factors found in Section 107. If you 
decide to consider the TEACH Act then work point-by-point through the 
requirements found in Section 110(2). Don’t try applying a court ruling on fair 
use to the application of the TEACH Act, and know that the compliance 
requirements of the TEACH Act have no bearing on fair use.

Know all your options! Kevin Smith and Lisa Macklin have developed a wonderful 
“Framework for Analyzing any U.S. Copyright Problem” that librarians can use to 
work through copyright issues: 
http://lib.calpoly.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/copyright_five_questions.pdf. 
Read it through and see if it can help you in making a decision with this 
particular situation.



If you decide to utilize the TEACH Act…



Types of Works

Chris and Peter are right. The TEACH Act in no way precludes the use of feature 
films or fictional works. If you read Section 110(2) you'll see that mentions 
"non-dramatic literary or musical works" and "any other works." It doesn’t get 
any more specific than that.



Amount You Can Use
If you’re using "non-dramatic literary or musical works" Section 110(2) states 
that you may make a “performance” of it. Most copyright experts say this means 
you can share the whole thing with students. For everything that falls into the 
“any other works” category, Section 110(2) states that you can use “reasonable 
and limited portions” of it. Unfortunately the U.S. Copyright Act does not 
provide us with a definition of what a “reasonable and limited” portion of a 
work is, and as no case law has been settled on this issue (at least that I am 
aware of, if I’m wrong on this please let me know!) it is left to each user to 
make the most thoughtful decision they can when applying the TEACH Act.



Watch Those Words!
Performances and displays are two different things! Section 101 of the US 
Copyright Act provides definitions for both of these terms. In regards to the 
TEACH Act, Section 110(2) states that instructors may make a "display" of a 
work in "an amount comparable to that which is typically displayed in the 
course of a live classroom session." According to Section 101 a "display" can 
include showing a “television image” or, “in the case of a motion picture or 
other audiovisual work” nonsequential images (e.g., frames/stills). Performing 
an audiovisual or motion picture work usually involves hitting “play” on a 
device and watching the images move in sequence. Make sure you select the 
correct category for your situation! For example, say I'm teaching an online 
art history class. For my lesson on Frida Kahlo I want to show students images 
of Frida's most famous paintings and have them watch the movie Frida (2002). 
Under the TEACH Act I could share with my online students the same number of 
images that I normally show to students when I'm teaching the class in a 
face-to-face setting. For the movie, under the TEACH Act I could share 
"reasonable and limited" portions of it.

Carla

Hi Jessica,

Many, if not most, of the questions you pose are answered in Butler's article.

As my final word in this discussion, here's a brief summary of what I said 
yesterday: the law is not settled on this issue, and there is room for 
reasonable people to disagree about whether or not a use like the one described 
by Maureen requires a license.

Re: [Videolib] PPR Question for librarians/library staff

[Carla Myers]

Hi, Laura
First you'll want to take a look at the terms of the PPR license provided by 
the distributor. While some PPR license terms are quite broad others dictate 
where the screening can be held (e.g. on-campus only), the maximum number of 
people who can attend, and even the ways in which you can advertise the 
screening. You'll want to abide by the terms outlined in the license, and if 
any are ambiguous I encourage you to contact the distributor for clarification.

Regarding the wireless problem, I would encourage you to contact the 
distributor, explain the situation, and see if they can provide you with a DVD 
copy of the film to use just for this screening. You may ask you to pay for 
shipping both ways, but this cost may be worth it if the alternative is having 
a film screening where the film is constantly buffering or getting cut-off due 
to a poor wireless connection.

Also, keep in mind that generally PPR are not needed for in-class screenings as 
these are often covered under section 110(1) of U.S. Copyright Law 
(https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/110). Kevin Smith (Director of the 
Office of Copyright and Scholarly Communication at Duke University) recently 
published a great blog post that addresses this issue as well as other common 
misconceptions regarding the borrowing and lending of DVD's for classroom use: 
http://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/.

I hope this information helps!

Re: [Videolib] preferred streaming service

[Carla Myers]

I agree with everything Deg has said. While we do have subscriptions to film 
databases such as Alexander Street Press and Films on Demand I find it much 
more preferable to purchase titles on a case-by-case bases with perpetual 
streaming rights.

I am the media librarian for a large public university.

It is my preference to be able to purchase videos directly, with streaming 
rights in perpetuity (life of file).

I know that I am not alone in this preference and that many other librarians 
that I know, do not want an access model that requires us to repeatedly re-pay 
for the same content.

We are accustomed to purchasing a DVD and owning the DVD for loan or classroom 
use.  Having to pay for a title again after one or three years (a predominant 
licensing model) saps our acquisition budgets and limits our ability to acquire 
additional new content.

Many of us have our own hosting systems.  While we may (and most of us do) 
license content served on different companies¹ servers:  Films on Demand, 
Docuseek2, Ambrose, Alexander Street, etc. (all of which offer us purchase 
opportunity in addition to term licensing) some prefer to host the content 
locally and do not need to rely on the hosting from another company.

It is not necessary to limit your content to one service provider. Your 
streaming rights do not have to be exclusive. You can make your titles 
available on Alexander Street AND on Kanopy; on Films on Demand AND on NewDay. 
Or on all providers. AND, still license the rights to individual libraries.

I am certain other librarians on this list will have other comments to make.

Re: [Videolib] One time screening rights?

[Carla Myers]

Here at UCCS I assist students and faculty in contacting vendors to obtain 
one-time screening rights but the library does not cover the cost of the 
license, it is up to the student group or the faculty member's department to 
pay the bill.

Oftentimes the library will purchase documentary films with PPR so that they 
can be easily screened on campus.

Greetings everyone,

A quick and rough poll - how many of you will purchase one time screening

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.

Carla,

I'm sorry, but the Google Books search is a false statement and the case 
actually supports Jessica. The court allowed that Google could scan entire 
books but does not allow the reading of an entire copyrighted entire book. 
Books that are still under copyright can only be searched by users, allowing 
users to read multiple portions that are relevant to their searches. The fact 
that they can only read portions of the scans and there was a link to purchase 
of the entire book was important to the judge. Also the judge ruled that as 93% 
of the books were non-fiction, this was a factor. Based on this judgement, 
Jessica's claim that fictional films have to be treated differently in using 
their entirety seems to be very accurate. There's a good reading of the 
decision 
here<http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2013/11/18/google-books-lawsuit-dismissed-all-society-benefits-says-judge-chin/>.
 Also, that decision is under appeal and I'm not sure there's been a final 
decision.

I have to say that I haven't looked at the HathiTrust case and I can't now 
because Amy's asking me to comment on a poster design, but it seems the judge 
ruled with the exact same reasoning. That entire works can be scanned for 
archival purposes, but not for the use of the entire book. Only the search 
itself is allowed.

And because of DMCA, DVDs also have to be treated differently than books. You 
certainly can't take a DVD and transfer it up online for use. That's breaking 
the digital code and you're only allowed to do this for clips. The use of 
illegal uploads on YouTube may be encouraged here as there's no breaking of the 
digital code by the user, but a) I don't know if that would be upheld in court 
and b) morally very questionable. And as anyone who knows my rants on the 
listserv, I consider that should be part of everybody's education and 
everybody's decision making. Just because you won't be caught, or just because 
a court case hasn't been decided on an issue, doesn't make it legal or ethical.

BUT!!! what discourages me is that we're back to the bad old days of this 
listserv when a few (not all) are looking for ways to subvert the foundations 
of the service provider when we should find ways to co-exist so these services 
can continue to exist. And yes, I'm now even including the studios along with 
the rest of us since they are investing large amounts of money to restore films 
even for their very minor titles and they are making them available to the 
public and institutions at a very reasonable price while knowing they will lose 
money. (Not something studio owners and investors really appreciate.) I was 
just at The Reel Thing conference and the profit/loss of these minor titles is 
an issue. As for indie distributors, I've been warning for years that it's 
tough times and just because your favorite distributors haven't closed down, 
that doesn't mean they won't in the coming years. Look at New Yorker Films and 
the loss of a huge number of titles.

Re: [Videolib] Copyright question: American Playhouse Films

[Carla Myers]

Sure! Off of the top of my head I can think of three. The Google Books lawsuit 
and the HathiTrust lawsuit are also both good examples. In both cases the 
scanning of millions of books in their entirety was found to be a fair use. 
There is also the Bill Graham v. DK lawsuit, where courts found the 
republication of concert posters to be fair use.

Again, I caution you to not try to limit the application of the TEACH Act based 
off of perceived limitations on the application of fair use. They are two 
different statutes and I think it's unwise to try to limit the application on 
one based off of the language of another.

My view is that an instructor can always consider utilizing the TEACH Act for 
providing a copy of a work to students online, be it in part or in its 
entirety. Working through the points of compliance and the language of the law 
will help them determine if their use can be made under the Act. I personally 
don’t find the quote in the congressional report to be vague or nuts. To me 
they are saying that you do need to consider the amount of the work that is 
relevant to the educational goal and use only that. Say there is an instructor 
who is teaching an online Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) class and wishes to 
stream  Peter Jackson’s The Fellowship of the Ring in its entirety for their 
students. There are certainly lots of scenes in this movie that incorporate 
CGI, but there are also lots of senses where hobbits are wandering through 
pastures and there is no CGI used. Under the TEACH Act I think the instructor 
would be able show clips of the scenes where CGI is used but, in my opinion, 
the parts of the movie that have no CGI would not seem relevant to the 
educational goals of the class so I would discourage them from using those. As 
for your Citizen Kane example… I would say you would need to talk with the 
instructor to find out their instructional needs and then work carefully 
through the TEACH Act to see if it could be applied to the situation. As with 
almost any copyright questions you can’t generalize and say “Sure that’s ok!” 
You need to examine the facts of each situation, see what exemptions may be 
applicable, and then work from there.

I don’t want to tie-up the list with back-and-forth so I’ll conclude by 
climbing up on a soap box and saying that fair use and the TEACH Act are 
exemptions that are extremely applicable in higher education. When wanting to 
share copyrighted works with students I encourage instructors and librarians to 
consider them both carefully and apply the law in a thoughtful manner. I think 
that as librarians we are here to promote and champion access to information. 
When we curb our practices out of fear of “what if I might get sued” or based 
off of bad copyright information we are keeping ourselves from achieving this 
goal. I’m certainly not encouraging anyone to break the law in the name of 
information advocacy! Rather I’m saying that Congress gave us these exemptions 
to help us fulfill this mission and I think that should always thoughtfully 
consider their application to a situation.

Best,
Carla

Other than the Sony case can you please site any case in which an entire work 
of length (not a single photo or a few minutes of media) was ruled to be  "fair 
use"  such as a entire book or feature film?The GSU (and Google) case are both 
the most recent and exactly on point.
The phrase "relevant toward achieving a educational goal” is so vague as to 
simply obliterate copyright protection. Surely showing Citizen Kane to an intro 
film class would fit that criteria so why pay Swank to stream it?
Is that your view?

that particular type of use under the Act.

The TEACH Act and fair use are different statutes and I think it is extremely 
difficult and slightly dangerous to argue that the language of one limits to 
other. The “reasonable and limited” language is found in the TEACH Act, not the 
fair use statute. The language talking about the “amount and substantiality of 
the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole” is the third 
factor of fair use and is not found in the TEACH Act. If fair use could be 
limited by the language of the TEACH Act then folks utilizing it in any 
capacity, not just educationally, would need to find an instructor to supervise 
the use. The TEACH Act applies to the online use of works, so if it’s language 
was applied to fair use then all fair uses would have to be conducted online. 
The language of these statues should not be mixed. Rather each exemption should 
be applied to each individual situation to see which one could be utilized to 
accomplish a goal.

You cite the GSU case as evidence that fair use does not allow the use of an 
entire work but don’t forget there have been numerous lawsuits where the courts 
have found reusing an entire work to be a fair use. I think it’s better to take 
a look at the legislative history of fair use then pick one particular case and 
let that guide all of your practices.

Wow
First the youtube copy was NOT a legal copy so you can never use it.
Second the idea that if a "film’s entire viewing is exceedingly relevant toward 
achieving a educational goal.” it is OK to stream an entire film is well nuts 
and goes against both the words of the TEACH ACT itself  and established 
copyright law including the two very recent cases of Georgia State and Google 
books where the courts were VERY clear that only portions of larger works could 
qualify as "fair use". While there is not exact amount that can cover every 
case both of the above were again crystal clear that there were limitations and 
ironically one of main elements in the history of determining "fair use " in 
those and other cases is if the use infringes on the core or heart of a work, 
thus several of the GSU uses were determined to violate fair use. I don't see 
how entire work is a "reasonable and limited portion" let alone one that does 
not get to core of copyrighted work.

If it was OK to stream a work for being "exceedingly relevant towards achieving 
and educational goal"  copyright at least in education would cease to exist and 
there would also be no point in deciding "fair use" if it covered entire films 
or works as long as they were for education.

If you want to consider utilizing the TEACH Act to providing streaming access 
for this film keep in mind that your institution must satisfy the points of 
compliance outlined in the Act. Peggy Hoon from UNCC has put together an 
wonderful informational website on the TEACH Act and developed excellent 
checklists that can help you work through the points of compliance:

And, as others have pointed out, you can also consider fair use for streaming

I don't know if we'd have much of an audience for NaNoWriMo events on our 
campus, however I'm giving a series of lectures with the Pikes Peak Library 
District (our public library) about how writers can best manage their copyright.

Subject: [Videolib] and now for something completely different . . .

So . . . we are media people, but  surely there are some writers out there as 
well-- Do any of the academic librarians on the list have NaNoWriMo (National 
Novel Writing Month) events/programs at their libraries?
We are doing one for the first time, and I'd love any ideas for our kickoff 
event, which will be a daytime thing on . . . Halloween!
Thanks anyone and everyone!

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

Re: [Videolib] Libraries that stream their own titles

[Carla Myers]

titutions) the "argument" that films were made for "entertainment" but using 
them in classes is "transformative" which is the one advanced by some at ALA is 
plainly absurd. If it were true than basically any book, movie etc ever made 
could be streamed or posted online for academic use.

We do have the GSU case which involved exactly the same issues and even there 
the portions allowed were limited and several did not "pass".

As I am sure you know there are many limitations to the TEACH ACT the key one 
being that it does not apply to fiction films

I’m not really think 108 encompasses film.

It doesn’t. I was just clarifying that digitizing (and streaming) entire works 
is not necessarily illegal. When those kinds of statements are made, I like to 
remind people that the law does allow for this in certain circumstances.

Also, it does not matter if the rights holder objects unless they begin 
commercializing the work or are willing to make it available for sale at a 
reasonable price.
