I don't know what others' media budgets look like - but am interested in
knowing. We are paying a lot in order to provide classroom rights for
videos to support teaching. Some faculty members are choosing not to
show videos in the classroom because of the associated costs.
My firm-order video budget is $30,000Cdn/year for a campus of ~25,000
FTE. At an average of $250/video, this buys ~120 titles per year with PPR.
In addition, we subscribe to two feature film PPR licenses for our
campus which amount to another $20,000+ not including the cost of the
videos - often acquired from amazon. These feature film licenses and
our video database subscriptions come out of a different budget, not out
of my firm-order video budget.

Perhaps, some of you can answer this for me. I've always wondered if
Canadian AV libraries have bigger budgets than their United States'
equivalents and if so, could this be because of the copyright
exemption law. I'm not suggesting the US adopt it Canada's
restrictions, but I've wondered if there's more respect and even more
important, financial support, by Canadian colleges. My theory is that
once a college administrator got it into his head that you can buy any
DVD for $9.95 at Kmart, that there's no reason to give AV departments
the money they really need. Sorry if this is oversimplification or a
mistaken theory, but I've been thinking about Catch-22s lately.

No, unfortunately it doesn't apply in Canada - or not yet. The
new copyright bill that was proposed before the House of
Parliament closed for the election does have something similar to
the US educational exemption in it. In Canada, the vendor's
statement below is true, i.e. that if we want to show a video in a
classroom, then we need to acquire PPR. However, we do purchase
videos without PPR for individual use - when classroom use isn't
required.

Does anyone know if this same exemption applies in Canadian
classrooms?
- this discussion has been very informative for an indie
documentary production company such as myself.
Thanks

Hi Steve
There has been quite a bit of discussion on the videolib

an online discussion list for video librarians, filmmakers, film
distributors and others)concerning the inaccurate statement
New Video is
currently putting forward concerning Public Performance rights.

Screening film/video in a classroom in the service of regular
curricula is
covered by the face-to-face teaching exemption of the US
copyright Law
(Title 117: section 110) and does not require PPR. This
exemption applies
to home video, as well as other legally acquired versions of
the work.
Screening a copyrighted film to a group outside of the home
or outside of
these exemptions requires PPR--a fact with which most video
librarians are
acutely aware.
Thanks in advance for considering reworking the wording of
your currently
misleading and inaccurate statement.
