Greetings (CC: VRT & Comm Libs): In case it is of interest, here is an entertainment trade pub that mentions the issue in plain language: http://variety.com/2014/biz/news/new-trade-pact-provokes-concerns-over-hollywoods-influence-1201034738/
As there is consideration for updating the Copyright Act<http://www.copyright.gov/regstat/2013/regstat03202013.html>there we are also in the beginning stages of updating the Communications Act. I recently joined the ALA subcommittee on telecom and am tracking it with ALA. http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/washington/house-ec-releases-first-communications-law-update-white-paper/128346 As we make the digital shift the laws will be amended -- yet it expected to be a slow process.

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.
