Hi Christine My understanding of USCode Section 108 is that if your titles are deteriorating and unavailable for purchase or streaming in new condition, you can simply make preservation copies. You don't need to seek permission. There are caveats (in-library use only, etc.), but you can do

*Posted to multiple lists. Please excuse the duplication* Dear collective wisdom: I have a patron interested in how much it cost to license (i.e. total licensing fees per song) a number of specific pop songs for 4 smallish independent films released between 2008-2014 (Drive, Bronson, Lawrence

Greetings, everyone I second this interpretation by Deg. There is nothing in 108 that specifies a film must "already be in the collection" (if that were the case, then already in the collection since... when?). There is so much misinformation about this stuff, especially, at times, from

Hi Anna This issue crops up in various forms fairly frequently. First, however, a minor point of clarification. Classroom screenings are actually NOT “fair use” (17 U.S. Code § 107)https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/107 but rather fall under a different section of the USCode relating

Hello everyone, Ms. Rosner's description of the ARL position is, as usual, simplistic and ultimately erroneous. ARL does not simply claim that you can stream an entire film for class purposes without taking any other factors into account. Among the other limitations, in Best Practices

Dear list, Many of the questions people are posing with respect to the ARL code could be solved by, radical as this idea may be, actually reading the code. However, since it's apparently much easier to complain than to learn, I will summarize what the code actually says on this issue. The
