Re: [Videolib] Licensing versus sales, institutional versus home pricing

Dear Gary, I don't see why this would create a problem if the researcher were accredited and password protected. Password protection constitutes recognition that the user is in some way affiliated with Berkeley or that they have access to a digital device located on that campus. On the other han

Re: [Videolib] Licensing versus Sales; Institutional versus Home Pricing

I think this can easily be worked out. I think it would be more practical for a purchase agreement to just make it clear what is already the case under copyright law , the purchasers can not digitize, stream or copy any title without explicit permission. I doubt you or most librarians here would ha

Re: [Videolib] Licensing versus Sales; Institutional versus Home Pricing

This is massively problematic, Larry (and all others)... "All purchasing a license as opposed to a DVD does is restrict use to registered students, staff and faculty, whether individually or in class." Public research institutions (and many small public institutions) are chartered not only to sup

Re: [Videolib] Licensing versus Purchase/ Institutional versus Home Pricing

Myles, I'm sure you're right that stipulations will alienate some potential customers which we regret. But these days it seems that charging anything for digital content is taken as an affront. And it shouldn't matter to anyone who simply wants to use a film in class. As a public librarian, howev

Re: [Videolib] Licensing versus Sales; Institutional versus Home Pricing

Well I think Lawrence was just reacting to the insanity of the UCLA claims and the knowledge that they are not alone in illegally streaming and duping material. Otherwise I think it would be pretty straightforward that when you buy a film you can use it in class, circulate it and put it on reserve

Re: [Videolib] Licensing versus Sales; Institutional versus Home Pricing

Christine, I was just thinking kinda the same thing but wasn't quite sure how to word it. I think most of the media librarians out there strive to honor the requests and terms of our vendors, but there has to be a simpler way than this. Lawrence with all of these stipulations you may be alien

Re: [Videolib] Licensing versus Sales; Institutional versus Home Pricing

I'm trying to imagine having the time and the staff to arrange for and monitor the usage of your materials, Lawrence. And multiply that by the number of vendors we buy from...all of whom may have similar policies with minor differences..hmmm. And then we must also invite the IT folks and faculty

Dear All, I've been off the list for two weeks and would like to add something to the discussion of licensing versus sales and institutional versus home pricing. I apologize if I have made these points before, but they seem to have bearing on these postings. Newsreel has begun attaching a licen

I think he should find you that court case because it is NUTS. Nothing in copyright law would limit the distribution of a legal copy. The right of first sale allows the purchaser to use the item in any legal way including renting it, circulating it or leaving it on reserve. The only way to supersed

Re: [Videolib] Copyright & Reserves

This is getting more interesting. My colleague says there has been court cases in which the copyright holder claimed that by keeping the book (or DVD) constantly on reserve and making it available all the time, the library is somehow preventing the faculty and the students to buy it and so damag
