Just remember Michael, It becomes a preservation copy that can not leave the library. It might be more useful if the spinner cited the ENTIRE section as I have linked it above. I know you, Gary and others find it constraining but this part of the law is clear.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
