Just got a response back from him regarding my reply… Gee, maybe if you're just concerned about PPR, you should have said that instead of trying to threaten us. Thank you for your reply. Of course that is fine if not being used for public performance. It's often the case that campuses use this film for community events. But if only lending out for personal use or classroom instruction, of course that's no problem. RG Don't go against a librarian when copyright is on the line...
