As Susan pointed out this would depend on how this was handled at the point of sale. Personally I think an implied agreement such as just stating it on the web site it is for home use only is not strong enough. If on the other hand there is an actual contract spelling this out and the purchaser is required to check a box along the lines of " I have read and agree to these terms" then it would be enforceable.

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.
