My situation is pretty much the same as Marilyn's in terms of budget
and our Criterion / Audio-Cine licenses. I remember being offered a
job in the mid 1990s at a U.S. university where the video
acquisitions budget was over $100,000/year. I wonder what it is today...

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.

Hi Steve
There has been quite a bit of discussion on the videolib listserv (that's
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.
