Re: [Videolib] streaming rights for TV series?

2016-05-18 Thread 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.

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.

Again in GSU case court rejected about 15% of the total for not being "fair

burden. ALL IN THE FAMILY ran for like a decade so why not claim one whole

Re: [Videolib] streaming rights for TV series?

2016-05-17 Thread Chris Lewis
I've discussed that paradox with our university counsel and he said that
"portions" takes precedence over the part that says "an amount
comparable..." so that's what we follow though I really doubt any copyright
holder would ever pursue a case against a university because a professor
used a 30-minute episode of All in the Family (via a password-protected CMS
limited to her students for a limited amount of time) instead of a
15-minute segment.

Regarding fair use, most of the episodes of All in the Family are
unavailable for licensing hence there is little impact on the market. The
intention of the copyright law is to make work available by giving the
copyright holder a right to profit from it but if that isn't happening the
law doesn't protect the right to keep the work from being used just for the
hell of it. It sounds like three of the four fair use factors are
sufficiently satisfied in this case enough so that I would probably take my
chances on the "amount" factor.

Hi all,

Chris, thanks; I do not believe the TEACH act excludes dramatic or
fictional works, either.

Just to clarify the "reasonable and limited portions" statement from the
TEACH Act. Unlike fair use, which specifically has a "whole or part"
argument, the TEACH Act's use of limited portions has little to do with
whether the program is presented in whole. Instead, "reasonable and limited
portions" refers to "an amount comparable to that typically displayed in
the course of a live classroom setting." Again, if you could show one or
two TV show episodes within 50–80 minutes, depending on how you define a
classroom session, it is my understanding you can justify it under the
TEACH Act.

I doubt that would fly as each episode is totally self contained. Again in GSU 
case court rejected about 15% of the total for not being "fair use" and 
claiming a full episode is "fair use" would be a really high burden. ALL IN THE

Each issue of a magazine is only one of hundreds if the not thousands so again 
same question. I don't think is any kind of close  call.

Re: [Videolib] streaming rights for TV series?

2016-05-17 Thread Andrew Horbal
The legal basis for such a claim is comprehensively described by Brandon
Butler in a 48-page article in the most recent issue of the *Connecticut
Law Review* called "Transformative Teaching and Educational Fair Use After
Georgia State."
<http://connecticutlawreview.org/files/2016/04/10-Butler.pdf> He has
summarized the highlights on his blog here:
http://brandonbutler.info/post/112054748430/transformative-teaching-and-educational-fair-use
.

Neither the Google Books case, the GSU case, nor the triennial DMCA
exemptions directly address the question of whether or not streaming a
full-length film to students through a password-protected CMS is a fair
use, so it is disingenuous to imply that the matter has been decided one
way or the other. Jessica may not agree with it, but there* is* a legal
argument for why this sort of activity should be considered a fair use, and
until it's tried in court, it will largely be up to individuals to decide
for themselves what they think. Hopefully with the advice of their college
or university's legal counsel, of course!

For the record, I agree with you that a novel like *Catcher in the Rye *should
logically be treated the same as a fictional film like *Citizen Kane*
according to this argument.

There is no prohibition in the TEACH Act from using dramatic or fictional
works. There is however a prohibition against using complete works as it

Hi everyone,

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned justifying this use of one episode
not by fair use, but under the TEACH Act, which was specifically designed
for online classes. The TEACH Act, while not as expansive as the
educational exemption, transfers at least some of the education exemptions
to an online course scenario. See a summary on U of Minnesota's site.

It seems to me that one or two episodes (depending on the episode length,

that access to the entire work (e.g., an illustrative song in a class on

pedagogical purpose" (p. 13).

In her GSU decision, Judge Orinda Evans identifies the course reserves

I can easily see an analysis of a series where a total run is “the work”—think 
of a season of “The Wire”, for example—and one could indeed make a logical case 
as showing one ep being “fair use.” I would be less likely to see an ep of 
something much more episodic like “AITF” in those terms, to be sure.

Yes indeed digitizing and streaming a complete episode would violate copyright 
law. This is not if you will excuse the pun an "academic" question, there are 
two recent Federal Court rulings and recent ruling by Library of Congress 
governing the Digital Millennium Copyright act. In both Google Books and 
Georgia State cases which were hailed as huge wins for educational institutions 
the rulings were very specific that only portions of longer works could be 
considered "fair use". In Google the court clearly stated that because only a 
portion of the work was accessible , scanning the entire work did not violate 
"fair use'. GSU was even clearer. While the court ruled that the majority of 
the works were indeed "fair use" it also ruled that 7 of 48 were NOT "fair use' 
either because they used too much material or used the heart of the work. Also 
long forgotten is that when the case was originally filed GSU had been 
digitizing and uploading complete works but they ceased immediately after the 
case was filed.
When the DMCA came up for review by the Library of Congress this past November, 
many restrictions were removed in terms of who could break encryption and for 
what purpose but a request by academic institutions to be able to digitize and 
stream entire works was flatly rejected with the following wording
 " Audiovisual works, for broad-based space-shifting and format-shifting 
(declined due to lack of legal and factual support for exemption)"
Not sure if you can get much clearer than that. I think saying one complete

simply not accurate
The larger issue though is that if you include TV, feature films, educational 
films and other types of AV there are likely millions of works that are simply 
not currently available for classroom streaming. A fairly large chunk may be 
available through commercial sites but an even bigger number are simply 
unavailable for streaming and many may either be out of print or never have 
been released on any format other than film. The reasons are various, rights 
disputes, lack or material or the expense of making good enough copies, cranky 
rights holders etc. Instructors simply have to look for legal options when 
material they want is not available to stream because bluntly there is no legal 
right to stream anything you want or need. If the titles is available via 
Netflix, Hulu, Amazon or similar I wonder if asking students to pay fo that is 
any different than having them by books for a class ( which I assume even 
online students do)
I understand librarians want to help instructors get what they want but it is 
not always possible. Sometimes you just have to tell them to be creative and

My guess is that the definition of “portion of the work” is what is being 
debated here. The professor probably sees the entire run of the series as “the 
work” and that therefore one ep is a small portion.

Would like some feedback on the following scenario:  The complete first season 
of All in the Family is part of the library's media collection.  A TV writing 
faculty member wants to show a single episode to students enrolled in an online 
course.  The faculty member would borrow the DVD from the  Library, take it to 
media/instructional services and ask that it be digitized and uploaded to an 
internal streaming service so that it could be streamed via a course management 
system.

However, if this TV writing faculty member wants to stream more than one 
episode, then the fair use analysis would weigh against fair use, and they 
would need to seek streaming rights.

And speaking of streaming rights for TV series, does anyone have any tips on 
how to proceed?

We have decided to keep ours and fashion out a little theatre so they can be

Well OK some good news. My contact at IFC says Swank can handle WHITE
MATERIAL and if they have any issue with it he will confirm it is OK. You

2015-03-13 Thread Jessica Rosner
I am not aware of any rights problem for either film but sometimes there
can be issues with musicals or studios pull them for a time for reissue.In
any event Swank must have the answers , they have both of the rights
holders under contract.
I assume they can license individual titles. Again there could be rights
complications with music as that happens a lot.

Good  luck

There's a search tool on the Swank website (
http://digitalcampus.swankmp.com/search) that captures most of the films
they can license, as well as a similar tool for Criterion Pictures USA (
http://media2.criterionpic.com/CPLUSA/qsearch.htx).  Using this search
functionality, it appears that Swank also has the rights for Kiss Me Kate
(1953).

All,

I am slowly but surely exhausting my repertoire of places to possibly locate 
streaming rights for two films we currently own in DVD format:

   "Kiss Me Kate"
  Jack Cummings, producer; with Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel, etc.
  Warner Home Entertainment (Metro Goldwyn Mayer), c. 2003, 1953

   "West Side Story"
   Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, directors; with Natalie Wood, Richard 
Beymer, etc.
   Mirisch Pictures, in association with Seven Arts productions, Inc., 
c.2003, 1961

I know that streaming feature films is a stretch, but I have emails out to 
Swank and Warner Brothers. No responses yet. I did see that it was available 
digitally through various sources listed at "Can I Stream It", but this request 
originated from a faculty who is teaching an online only class and she is 
interested in 1-3 years streaming for her course.

Any ideas, suggestions, or "you have to be kiddings" would be appreciated.

Thanks, and happy weekend.

Hi Kim,

You mentioned that you got in touch with WGBH, did you try their Media Library 
and Archives department, the Open Vault Project? It appears that you can 
request the digitization of their archival programing if you are willing to 
cover the cost.

"Request Digitization of Audio Video or Transcript A feature that we introduced 
on the Boston TV News Digital Library website (bostonlocaltv.org) is the 
ability to request that a program be digitized. As part of this Open Vault 
relaunch, we're including the ability to request a digital transcript be made 
of a program as well.
How it works is if you register for a free account on Open Vault, when you 
navigate to a page where no video is streaming and/or no transcript is 
viewable, you have the ability to pay for the digitization yourself by clicking 
the "Request Digitization" or "Request Transcription" button. This will send an 
email to the WGBH MLA staff and someone will be in contact with you about how 
much it would cost you to make that request digitized and available on Open 
Vault (rights permitting).  Think of it as a sponsorship of the preservation of 
the asset as well as helping to pay to make it accessible for everyone on the 
internet."

Hello,

I have been trying to find out if we can obtain streaming rights for the films 
Deadly Deception & The Death of Nancy Cruzan.  For the first one, I've 
contacted FFH, WGBH and ABC News with no luck.  I tried PBS and attempted to 
contact someone at CBS news for the second film.

I'm writing to see if anyone here has any contacts or information that might 
help.

[Videolib] Streaming Rights - Deadly Deception & Death of Nancy Cruzan

2014-11-05 Thread Linkous, Kimberly A.
Hello,

I have been trying to find out if we can obtain streaming rights for the films 
Deadly Deception & The Death of Nancy Cruzan.  For the first one, I've 
contacted FFH, WGBH and ABC News with no luck.  I tried PBS and attempted to 
contact someone at CBS news for the second film.

I'm writing to see if anyone here has any contacts or information that might 
help.

Thanks!

I believe that this is an official channel, it has been up and running for
years. I did see Autumn Marathon, didn't check for the others.

Try contacting Mosfilm directly http://www.mosfilm.ru/eng/company/

That is a pretty generic email.If you want to get more creative go to their
website where they list all the contact phone numbers and if you can snag
someone who speaks Russian give it a shot.

Subject:  Re: [Videolib] Streaming Rights - House of Sand and Fog

As these are films that have as mentioned had significant theatrical play
they pretty much have done that part of marketing. If the film is available
through an aggregate site  it is pretty much the end of direct sales and it
is perfectly understandable that aggregator can't pay very much for a single
film so when a filmmaker is trying to recoup tens of thousands of dollars (
and trust me they only expect a fraction of this to come from academic
sales) this is not a good option. Now it depends entirely on the film. I
think these films are more than strong enough to sell on their own, I think
one is an absolute blockbuster. I would not expect any  library to buy them
unless they would be used for classes.

I also think I have accidentally mixed up the streaming issue with the film
itself. The streaming rights are pretty much the cherry on top and it is
about the content of the films and their use in studies. No one is being
forced to buy streaming rights, they can buy the DVD without them but again
one distinct advantage of dealing directly with the filmmakers is that you
can by them with guaranteed lifetime streaming rights as these filmmakers
own all rights themselves. I admit this is not likely the norm but these are
honestly rather dedicated filmmakers who are committed to keeping control of
their films and being directly involved in the distribution.

FYI I am told that the NMM site will be open to any librarian in October for
one month. Ursula are you lurking around?

2013-09-12 Thread Jo Ann Reynolds
Jessica,

So, they want to sink their $$ into marketing then?

To be blunt right back, as an academic purchaser I am going to favor aggregated 
sites because they are more likely to be one stop shopping for me. When faculty 
x tells me she wants a film on y subject there is a limit to the amount of time 
I have to devote to that search. I am going to lean heavily in the direction of 
vendors who've got material from a variety of sources, who understand the 
academic market and what we need, and who have a site searchable by subject 
and/or keyword.

The filmmaker doesn't have to negotiate an exclusive agreement with a 
distributor, or do they? Seems to me they are going to get lost in the crowd by 
trying to go it alone.

Maybe the NMM will open up their website to the world, we can only hope!

Thanks for answering my stupid question. I am dealing with some indie docs 
where the filmmakers as a practical matter can't really do their own streaming 
and I am trying to figure out if institutions will just put up their own site 
and what are best ways to do this . So far I have only been able to do this 
with DVD but I can suggest a higher end digital format. This is mostly for sale 
with lifetime rights but I don't think that makes a difference format wise in 
terms of streaming.
For the record I don't even own a DVD player. I am a proud luddite which may 
not be the best thing for some of these issues.

Sorry but I am a total technical idiot. Does this mean they provide you with

Either way I am glad they are now in the game, now we all need to gang up on 
Criterion/Janus who still does not allow streaming on their titles which is

It means the length of the license to stream. They offered me up to a 5 year 
stream. You load the MP4 to your streaming server and can stream it for the

Jo Ann,

What does "length of time you want to stream it" mean? Does that mean the 
period of time during which it will be available to students (e.g. a particular 
semester or a few weeks during a semester during which students could access 
the title through a CMS, etc.)? Or does it mean the total amount of streaming 
that occurs (e.g., just a few hours if it is streamed to a single class, versus 
hundreds of hours if students individually stream it to their desktops and

I just called Criterion and it seems they are streaming to institutions. They 
charge for the MP4 and the length of time you want to stream.

Negotiate! I was able to reduce the price somewhat by buying multiple titles. 
We haven't inked any agreement yet but I am pursuing.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming Rights - House of Sand and Fog

2013-09-12 Thread Brewer, Michael
Jo Ann,

What does "length of time you want to stream it" mean? Does that mean the 
period of time during which it will be available to students (e.g. a particular 
semester or a few weeks during a semester during which students could access 
the title through a CMS, etc.)? Or does it mean the total amount of streaming 
that occurs (e.g., just a few hours if it is streamed to a single class, versus 
hundreds of hours if students individually stream it to their desktops and 
watch it individually and asynchronously)?

Re: [Videolib] Streaming Rights - House of Sand and Fog

2013-09-12 Thread Jessica Rosner
To be blunt because they would lose their shirts. These are folks who
invested a lot of money in making the films I don't want to hype them here
but they are new films that have had significant theatrical play and are on
subjects of major interest to the academic world ( and they won't be out in
the retail market) I have the greatest respect for ASP, New Day for t etc
but they simply would not generate the revenue these folks need to survive.
It is understandable that collections containing thousands of films can't
afford to pay very much for an individual title but I am confident that
these are important films that many institutions will want to buy. To be
honest I am more familiar with ASP model than New Day or Docuseek but the
directors really want to handle all their sales directly. They do not have
to be streamed but as many institutions now want streaming rights we want
to make them available. Libraries are more then welcome to buy them without
streaming rights.

PS I will be taking to of them to The National Media Market so  hope to see
some of you there.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming Rights - House of Sand and Fog

2013-09-12 Thread Jessica Rosner
Thanks for answering my stupid question. I am dealing with some indie docs
where the filmmakers as a practical matter can't really do their own
streaming and I am trying to figure out if institutions will just put up
their own site and what are best ways to do this . So far I have only been
able to do this with DVD but I can suggest a higher end digital format.
This is mostly for sale with lifetime rights but I don't think that makes a
difference format wise in terms of streaming.

For the record I don't even own a DVD player. I am a proud luddite which
may not be the best thing for some of these issues.

Thanks again

I just called Criterion and it seems they are streaming to institutions. They 
charge for the MP4 and the length of time you want to stream.

Negotiate! I was able to reduce the price somewhat by buying multiple titles. 
We haven't inked any agreement yet but I am pursuing.

For your collective knowledge

streaming,
3 years because who knows what will be the law in 3 years no need to buy
longer term today, you can notice that if you already have PPR license then
we are asking only $100 for the streaming I believe that is fair. Any body
asking more is trying to make unfair money 
$175 for library & classroom use.

$250 for public screenings when no admission fee is charged.

$500 for screenings with paying audiences.

Shipping and handling fee is $6.

$350 DVD and streaming rights with 3 year license from institution's own
internal server.

$100 Streaming rights for institutions with 3 year license from
institution's own internal server that already purchased the DVD with Public
Screening rights.

$175 Streaming rights for institutions with 3 year license from
institution's own internal server that already purchased the DVD with only
Library use.
These prices are for all titles at http://docsforeducation.com/ 
except "One Day After Peace" see http://onedayafterpeace.com/index.php
which is sold only as PPR for $300

Well from the point of view of the rights holder it is not about enhanced
services but about enhanced rights. It is obviously different to own a
physical copy that can be used in the classroom which is basically covered
by the "face to face" exemption and circulated by the library to streaming
it online for students to watch from anywhere over a long period.

There have been two major legal cases on it but the results are not that
helpful. In the UCLA Case where UCLA streamed thousands of titles and one
the US distributors sued them, the case was tossed on issues that had
nothing to do the right to stream ( mostly the standing of plaintiff who
owned the US rights but was not the overall rights holder who was not a
party).

The Georgia State case is a little closer but involved the streaming of
articles or book chapters rather than films. When the case was first brought
by a group of small presses GSU was streaming entire works but changed it's
policy immediately after the suite was filed. In the end while the judge
ruled mostly in favor of Georgia State, she had also said that no more than
10% of a written work could ever be covered as "fair use" in online
streaming. The case had a lot of other issues including the issue of if
universities could stream a  work if the rights holder did not have a
streaming option. The publishers are appealing many of the issues and as it
directly contradicts previous rulings like Kinkos and Michigan books it is
likely to be taken up by the Appeals court.

For the record the California Newsreel rates are actually pretty low since
they offering what appears to be a lifetime license.

Keep in mind that many distributors literally don't even own  the rights to
license many of their titles as it was generally not included in older
contracts so it is tricky for them.

Re: [Videolib] streaming rights for Truffaut's Shoot the Piano Player?

2012-05-08 Thread Jessica Rosner
It might infringe on CONTRACT law in that in  you stated it was for
personal use to obtain the service, I don't believe it would not infringe
on copyright law since it is a legal copy being shown in a classroom ( as
opposed to being streamed to a students computer directly by the
university). However since the school seems to want streaming rights to
show OUTSIDE the classroom i assume the idea would be to have them open
their own HULU accounts and get it that way.

I'm curious. Using your personal subscription to Hulu, or Netflix, etc. to show 
something in class does not infringe copyright law? In this case, since one 
does not own the material, one has to follow the terms of use of the service. 
Since these services clearly say for personal use, I don't think a faculty can 
use it in class. Am I wrong?

It is currently available, along with a lot of Criterion films, on Hulu Plus.

I sent a general inquiry about streaming to Jon Mulvaney  of Criterion

"Institutional streaming licenses are not available at this time.  I do hope 
you will find helpful that many of our titles can be streamed on Hulu 
(http://www.hulu.com/criterion).  Additionally anyone signing-up on Hulu Plus

I would assume that the instructor could use a subscription to show it in the 
classroom, but that students would have to buy a subscription to watch at home. 
This is not a bad deal for film majors.The trick is that not all Criterion 
films are available all the time. Maybe Hulu could guarantee that a particular 
one would be available for a particular term.

Re: [Videolib] streaming rights for Truffaut's Shoot the Piano Player?

2012-05-08 Thread Shoaf,Judith P
It is currently available, along with a lot of Criterion films, on Hulu Plus.

I sent a general inquiry about streaming to Jon Mulvaney  of Criterion 
mulva...@criterion.com
and he replied by referring me to Hulu Plus:

"Institutional streaming licenses are not available at this time.  I do
hope you will find helpful that many of our titles can be streamed on
Hulu (http://www.hulu.com/criterion).  Additionally anyone signing-up
on Hulu Plus with a .edu email address will get their first month free
of charge."

I would assume that the instructor could use a subscription to show it in the 
classroom, but that students would have to buy a subscription to watch at home. 
This is not a bad deal for film majors.The trick is that not all Criterion 
films are available all the time. Maybe Hulu could guarantee that a particular 
one would be available for a particular term.

It almost surely a European company . The fact that is not out on DVD means
it either has rights issues or someone just not think it is worth it.
The original American distributor Cineplex Odeon is long gone from the
distribution business and I doubt they could help

Re: [Videolib] Streaming rights

I just thought I'd add that Hulu seems to have a streaming relationship with 
Criterion, which publishes a lot of classic  European and Japanese films. I am 
not sure what the quality is but this is an important possible source.

The problem is to some extent who pays. Passing expenses on to the students is 
one model, but the requirement has to be clear and should be done in such a way 
that scholarship students can be reimbursed for the subscription. If the 
university/library is going to foot the bill, turning to Swank etc. and finding 
out how to get institutional subscriptions to Criterion streaming is what's 
needed.

All these streaming services are based on contracts with *somebody,* and none 
of them is going to be comprehensive in giving the faculty a single source for 
an entire course. I would guess there might even be a use it and you won't lose 
it component--if Netflix is guaranteed 100 subscriptions a year for a 
particular set of films, they might be more interested in maintaining that 
contract. Surely it's worth it to inquire with Netflix about whether 
such-and-such a film will still be streamed next semester.

I would steer faculty away from Netflix for a couple of reasons:

1) I'd hate for faculty to design courses around Netflix availability, rather 
than teaching with the films that best cover the course material.

2) More importantly, Netflix streaming availability is based on contracts with 
the studios, so films disappear when the contracts expire.  This would make it 
a risky proposition to rely on Netflix streams for required viewing.

UConn uses Swank for purchase of most of our feature film streaming
rights. They are very good to deal with. Streams are pricier than most
documentaries but sometimes you can get a break as a member of a
consortium and/or volume discounts. It is worth looking in to.

Most this would be title by title. Most major studio title (WB ,
Paramount etc.) are licensed by Swank ( except Fox which is Criterion
Pictures USA), There are also a variety of companies that license
foreign, classic & indie films including Criterion Janus, Milestone,

Do you have any specific titles you are looking for? Pricing frankly
seems to be all over the map.

You can certainly suggest Netflix as an option assuming they carry the title.

Re: [Videolib] Streaming Rights True West

2011-05-11 Thread Jessica Rosner
I imagine they were being nice. I would be surprised if they owned the
"real" DVD rights. Productions like this generally had video contracts for
5-10 years and again when you are dealing with something made for TV and
based on a literary work it can be a nightmare to renegotiate rights for DVD
let alone steaming. When DVD came in a large number of older contracts did
not anticipate and thus people with the contracts had no rights for it and
it is worse with streaming. It is not that a company that put out a VHS does
not want to put out a DVD or that a company that put out a DVD does not want
to stream it, but the rights can be very, very complicated which is why a
lot of rights holders get especially upset when certain institutions and
organizations feel it is OK to transfer and stream a title even they don't
 have the rights for but very possibly might be trying to  acquire.

Well this is likely to be a bitch. It was an American Playhouse production
 broadcast in 1984. Things like this often have multiple owners and less
than clear contracts involving something like streaming. I am not saying
this is the case but I would not be surprised and if it were the case you
would need a very good lawyer to get a contract to get a whole lot of people
to agree to. This does not mean nobody owns it, it means it is really,
really complicated and would likely involve multiple parties.

If you really want to pursue it, I would start with Sam Shepard's office as
authors legal reps usually know the details.

Bicycle Thief you can get from Corinth films. Don't have number handy
but google them. They are in NYC.

Gomorrah is IFC. I thought Swank handled their stuff but this was
pre-Swank so you can check with them.

I would run all of these by Criterion/Janus. They might have one or two
as well.

There is an alternative: make the DVDs required course texts. Then  
discuss them and show only excerpts in class.


Open City, Bicycle Thief, Big Deal on Madonna Street, Divorce Italian  
Style, Gomorrah, and Pan e Cioccolata are readily available online.  
Lamerica and Special Day are out there, too.


Yes, that adds up. All of them together might equal the cost of one  
science textbook (sigh).
