Re: [Videolib] Educational PPR
The vendor's statement is considerably more liberal than the copyright law in defining classroom...I wouldn't squawk! Gary Handman List members, I noted this today on a vendor website: Educational Public Performance Rights (PPR) allow for screening IN A CLASSROOM SETTING ONLY for matriculated students in any not-for-profit institution - universities, museums, galleries, libraries, microcinemas, community centers, or educational institutions, in an educational context. This assertion seems to contradict what U.S. Copyright Title 17 states regarding library and classroom use (performance or display of work by instructors or pupils in the course of face-to-face teaching activities of a nonprofit educational institution, in a classroom or similar place devoted to instruction). I know that this topic has been well discussed on the list, but educational public performance rights was a new wrinkle for me. Thanks, Karen G.

Re: [Videolib] Educational PPR
Actually I am not sure I see a big difference though the use of the phrase educational public performance rights seems to be used instead of face to face exemption . However in this case the rights seem to cover a wide variety of regular outside the classroom PPR showings. The only thing I can think of is that they are trying to make sure you don't illegally stream it.

Interesting. They're granting you rights that we already have for classroom instruction under section 110 of the Copyright Law.

Re: [Videolib] Educational PPR
It would be legally sufficient, but as we have discussed the seller can pretty much set their own terms by contractIF they are the only source of the film. I would say the vast majority of educational film distributors whose films are not sold retail or through third parties require you to purchase PPR rights even if you only plan to use the title in the classroom. A lot depends on the exact wording in terms of if you can go around this, but again a seller can set conditions of sale beyond what copyright permits. I have no idea the nature of the title involved here, but realistically most educational films have a very limited audience so companies could not survive selling my infamous ( and non existent) documentary on a lesbian basket weaving cooperative in Bolivia at $29.95 and hoping lots of folks would buy it. However this kind of sale can only work if the rights holder controls all the sales and the title does not go through 3rd parties.

Re: [Videolib] Educational PPR
Dear Karen, Actually it would not be sufficient. To use in a classroom setting you would need to purchase PPR rights. Otherwise it is not legal, and is unfair to the writers directors and all of those who work hard to create content. Not unlike downloading movies or for that matter music.
