Re: [Videolib] Looking for Video Conversion and YouTube Guidelines

These guidelines are still burned into my memory. We used to record off-air at faculty request, and did our best to follow the 10/45 use guidelines. Two of several things we did to help maintain control of these programs was to 1) never record onto a tape supplied by a faculty member an

Re: [Videolib] Streaming collections and bandwidth

In my experience, when on campus - no bandwidth issues. People aren't really lining up to watch those titles all at once or all of the time. And our professors love the segments options so it isn't necessarily entire films being watched all at once. For off campus students proxying in, it can be

I seem to recall that in the halcyon days of off-air recording we had a kind of "convention of practice" that allowed 45 days of keeping an off-air recording related to classroom presentation. 10 days of active review -- for those that missed the show -- and 35 days of hanging around on the rese

Good luck on getting them to take responsibility for it. It is rarely Bud Light commercials. I would never trust an academic to make a responsible decision on "fair use" as their view is usually , I want to use it so it's fair. On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 4:35 PM, Brewer, Michael < brew...@u.library.ar

Right... Remember that these are simply guidelines, not law. I think, however, that long-term retention and use puts one on pretty thin ice. Gary > > Gary, the Kastenmeier guidelines for using material taped off-air (by > institutions) involve showing it once and erasing the program after 45 >

Not true. Off-air copies made by individuals are perfectly legal (that's what the the Sony Betamax case was all about...it's called time shifting, Jessica). The use of off-air material in the classroom is not covered by Title 117 at all, but the Kastenmeier Guidelines are generally considered a s

Re: [Videolib] Looking for Video Conversion and YouTube Guidelines

Brief follow up on the "off air" issue. Off air copies are not considered legal copies so for instance the recently published rules from the LOC on clips would not specifically apply. It may be possible to make a "fair use" claim but usually that requires a legal source. However if you want to push
