Well, deg's right that it'll probably cause some consternation among "my" people -- it's definitely inflammatory in its descriptions of distributors and the us versus them rhetoric and who "owns" the copyright law. I do appreciate the line near the end "Not a single librarian revealed herself as being either cavalier about the law or dismissive of the market" and know it to be the case among most but it would be nice to have some of the discussions we've had here about the balancing the needs of education versus the sustainability of producing new content. The lack thereof makes me want to set up fishing dates with Gary. :-)

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.
