Here's another case of a filmmaker wanting a large sum for the right to show films in a classroom - Zipporah Films. In this case I was merely purchasing a personal copy but they saw my university email address. Comments?

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.
