[Videolib] Help w Establishing video company

2012-04-16 Thread James Leftwich

Hey,

I'd like to start producing educational videos.  Would someone be willing
to explain how the industry works or point me out to web resources.  How
does an educational DVD end up with a group like films.com?  Do they come
from independent development companies?  Are they licensed by films.com?
How does it work?

[Videolib] Segments of a DVD

2012-01-06 Thread James Leftwich
Seems the consensus on here is that this is fair use:

I work for a for-profit college so classroom exceptions do not apply.  I
have a professor who wants to screen the feature "Thank You for Smoking" in
a classroom setting however he will not be screening the entire film.  He
will be choosing 5-6 snippets of the film (5 minutes long).  Do I need to
secure viewing rights for this?

I've just been instructed by my Director that there are no exceptions for
for-profit institutions and that I will need to get PPR for the film.  What
she wrote:

Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the
reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as
criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining
whether or not a particular use is fair:
 1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such
use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational
purposes
 2. The nature of the copyrighted work
 3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation
to the copyrighted work as a whole
 4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value
of, the copyrighted work

Still think it's fair use?

I don't believe "The Story of Us" was mentioned yet with Michelle Pfeiffer
and Bruce Willis but I was in Venice when they were filming it so it comes
to mind. Haven't seen it so I don't know much about it other than it was
filmed in Venice.
