I agree about the legality, but I just wondered about the use of the word scam. I didn't find anything on the site claiming they were doing it legally, and I bet the site is one that either stays under the radar (since it appears to only have a dozen or so titles) and withers from lack of business or gets exposed and cracked down on (as ioffer had to). I would just use the word scam for a site taking the money and running, but I get your point.

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.
