Actually I am not sure I see a big difference though the use of the phrase
"educational public performance rights" seems to be used instead of "face to
face exemption" . However in this case the rights seem to cover a wide
variety of regular outside the classroom PPR showings. The only thing I can
think of is that they are trying to make sure you don't illegally stream it.

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.
