I don't think there would be a problem. I think filmmakers just want to be sure their work is not being streamed just because a person or group wants to see it for fun, they might be flattered but they would want more money

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.
