OK I am totally confused. Are they adding or limiting rights? I work mainly
with filmmakers directly for very small distributors who basically can not
afford (at least now) and delivery system of their own, but since they own
the film they can pretty much sell any rights they want forever and for the
most part they seem OK with selling the rights for a school to put it on
whatever system they want so long as it is password protected.
I think the big "divide" will be how educational distributors handle this Vs
more traditional feature films owned mainly by studios, large European
companies etc.
