Yes, these are the exact words found on the website for a newly released DVD. After generously (sarcasm font) granting me classroom screening rights, they un-grant PPR in bullet 3, and forbid library lending in bullet 4. This is me beating head on desk before contacting them to talk about sections 109 & 110 and normal acceptable terms of sale.
"1. The institutional price comes with the license to screen the film for audiences, unlike a home video fee which only includes the license to watch the film in your home. 2. Purchase effectively means lease for the life of the DVD. Price includes public performance rights for classroom, organizational, or library use by the acquiring institution for non-paying audiences only. 3. Any screenings that are open to the public or where admission is charged will result in additional rental fees. Please specify on the order form if this applies. 4. DVD must not leave custody of the licensor, no lending out (from library location or otherwise), absolutely no copying. 5. Proof of institute status required."

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.
