I had a computer crash on Fri. so I couldn't answer you sooner.
Meanwhile I've seen some of the other responses.
Jessica, if our college has to digitize (transcode) the item, and store
it on our own server, and deal with our own infrastructure
in order to stream the video, then we ought not
Well it is a question of if the titles are ones you would want to stream,
ones that are or would be used in classes. Otherwise it is not worth paying
for the rights whether you do the work or access it. Actually a number of
the films I am talking about are classics ( Chaplin, Melies, Fairbanks)
I am working with a number of filmmakers and small distributors who would
like to sell streaming rights for their films. It is an eclectic group but
mostly documentaries
and classic films. Most, but not all can sell lifetime streaming rights, but
some can only sell for their own contract term

Jessica,
Would there be a different price for a library who already owns the
dvd and wants to purchase streaming rights?
Also, I have to put this out there: our library does not consider
streaming rights (or at least very rarely) for less than in
If they already own the film they would only need to pay the additional fee
for streaming.
I understand libraries want rights in perpetuity and I am sure most
companies would love to offer them, but as a practical legal matter it is
difficult. As mentioned the films I will work with involve some

Well a few of them could be gotten in high res but not most. They exist out
there but it is simply too expensive for them to make it available in this
kind of situation.
Again I can see directors/rights guys balking at unlimited access without a
higher fee. In there minds this is for educational
what do you do when a class does want to be able to watch via streaming
anything from Citizen Kane City Lights to Thin Blue Line and The Social
Network.
Then we say we can't get streaming and they just have to watch the DVD.

Hi again,
I must admit that I was thinking mostly about educational video when I
last responded. For feature films, I would like to try providing access
to streamed feature films via a mega-service similar to the home video
on demand services to support the University - but with educational
I suspect the big rights holders who license large collections (Swank and
the two Criterions) will move to some sort of annual fee to use anything
they have. Not sure if that works, but again I suspect that is what they
will do.
As for the pricing I don't think I can do much about that for my
Again the people I work with are all very small. They simply can not invest
any more money in hosting or other services unless they could literally be
guaranteed a profit from day 1 and I can't see how to work that. As a
practical matter I don't see how going through a
2nd party would be safe for
