I think that is just semantics. Nobody is selling films to theaters for public performances. That is strictly rental. However MY can of worms is why so many non theatrical licenses have a limit of 50 people. I have no idea why that number. I would think it would be great if you get 100 people on a college campus to see a film. I suspect it is meant to differentiate an "educational" showing from one that might be part of regular student film series, but I have a hard time imagining that is much of an issue these days with the kind of films that are sold with PPR rights.

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.
