[Videolib] License Restriction?

We ordered a DVD via Amazon with the intention of using it for classroom/educational purposes only. No lending off campus. There were no license restrictions indicated on the Amazon site for the item. After it shipped I received an e-mail indicating it was for home use only, no educational,

Re: [Videolib] License Restriction?

Unless you specifically signed ( either on paper or online) an agreement you have every right to use any legally obtained DVD in a class. No I am assuming for this that you plan to use the physical copy as streaming rights would not be included at least for an entire work I don't know the nature o

Re: [Videolib] License Restriction?

I¹ve been out of the game for a while, but if I remember correctly, the face to face teaching rule applies. All movies usually come with a warning at the start that says home use only but they can be shown in an official class setting. Cheers jhs On 9/15/16, 8:10 AM, "Mark Gooch" wrote: >We ord

We sell our DVDs on our website and also through Amazon. On our website we give the option to buy institutional rights, but Amazon does not allow this. Therefore, when we receive a sales notification from Amazon for an address at a university we always inquire if this is for school use or home

Re: [Videolib] License Restriction?

I mean no disrespect, but I'm not sure this is actually a legitimate way of restricting usage. There ARE companies who list tiered pricing - including a home use option - on their websites. IF they are the exclusive distributor for the film, then the purchaser understands the options are restr

We sell a lot through Amazon and it's amazing how many schools prefer that method because they either they can buy all in one place (most likely) or they are afraid a company won't sell them at home rates if they buy directly. (I suspect there's some of this.) As lovers of libraries, media centers

Re: [Videolib] License Restriction?

To me, that is perfect, Dennis. It’s clearly spelled out and it doesn’t deny rights libraries and educators have by US law/court case. As I mentioned to a couple of folks off-list, I understand the draw to distribute through Amazon because its reach is so wide and the films are probably much m

Re: [Videolib] License Restriction?

All, Just want to clarify something about 110(1) in Dennis’ description. The criteria in 110(1) are not quite as rigid/explicit as Dennis notes. It does not say anything about a registered class, but that it must be “in the course of the face to face teaching activities of a non-profit educatio

Re: [Videolib] License Restriction?

I actually don't have a problem with purchasing an institutional copy. Had they listed the information they sent me in the e-mail on the Amazon site, I likely would have gone to their site and purchased an institutional copy there. However, to tell me this after the item has shipped causes qu
