If one remembers the great old days of the production code when you were not allowed to show a LOT of things, a strange thing happened. Filmmakers got extremely creative in getting "around" what they could NOT show and I personally think they made better films. If they could not show two people having sex they could show the walls of Jericho falling or a door being blown open between two rooms. Imagine artists forced to be more creative to get around restrictions.
I actually only listened to the start of the clip (busy) day, but was anything Lessig said related to the idea of stealing (sorry I mean streaming) whole films without compensating the people who made them? The issue of restrictions on using music, clips etc is an important one, but not exactly the same as copying & using an entire work to merely make it more accessible for students.

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.
