Re: [Videolib] Preservation vs. prohibitions on duplication
The Music Library Association's copyright page has a good summary of copyright law governing pre-1972 sound recordings at http://copyright.musiclibraryassoc.org/Resources/AudioPreservationAndAccess , under the section titled Discussion. The post below is correct; pre-1972 sound recordings are covered by state law, effectively New York State law. The cutoff date is 1972, not 1976, as that's when Congress passed a law including sound recordings under federal copyright, as per the footnote in http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ56.pdf __ Pamela Bristah, Music Librarian, Wellesley College, 106 Central Street, Wellesley MA 02481 phone 781-283-2076, fax 781-283-2869, pbris...@wellesley.edu videolib@lists.berkeley.edu on Thursday, September 30, 2010 at 1:39 PM -0400 wrote: It is not my area of expertise, but I believe it is by state law and the contracts that were originally signed.

In fact the section of everyone keeps going to justify making a copy of deteriorating work was written for audio recordings. What the law does do is prevent the preserved work from being used by anyone save researchers who must go to archive/library which preserved it. Bottom line works can preserved for archival purposes, but they can not be sold or made available outside the archive. I see little likelihood of any change in copyright law that would allow preserved material still under copyright to be made available beyond the archive without permission of the rights holder. This is frustrating since many rights holders are hard to find, often ornery and may want a lot of money, but they are still the owners. There has of course been a movement to allow orphan works , particularly those in the last years of copyright to be copied, but again I just don't see major changes in copyright law because the big rights holders have too much at stake ( as well as the little ones).

[Videolib] Blu-Ray in libraries
A perennial question, but a good one to revisit to from time to time: Are you purchasing Blu-Ray titles for your library, or are you holding off? (I'm especially interested in hearing from college and university libraries, since we're in the same boat.) If you're purchasing, what criteria do you use? Do you re-purchase titles you have on DVD, or only new titles? Having just about completed switching the collection from VHS to DVD, the thought of moving next to Blu-Ray makes me want to lie down and go to sleep, for about 45 years. And, the cost would be prohibitive. Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if libraries could go straight from DVD to streaming video, at Blu-Ray image quality? For feature films, not just educational and documentary titles? Oh well, a girl can dream. __ Pamela Bristah, Collections Librarian, Wellesley College, 106 Central Street, Wellesley MA 02481 phone 781-283-2076, fax 781-283-2869, pbris...@wellesley.edu 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.
