I've been considering circulating Roku boxes to provide access to the International channels available.
I know some libraries are loading the digital Ultraviolet copy that comes with many BluRay/DVD purchases, and is then viewed with Vudu. I consider this a questionable practice since it is creating an additional copy, and I suspect terms don't include that of First Sale use that the DVD has. ~Barb On Jul 1, 2015, at 3:39 PM, Maxwell Wolkin <maxw...@filmmovement.com<mailto:maxw...@filmmovement.com>> wrote: Hi all, I noticed an article in a nearby public library's monthly newspaper (I won't mention which one) with the headline "Roku: A new way to borrow movies." The idea is to circulate Roku sticks that have access to a Vudu account (transactional digital video service similar to purchasing a movie from iTunes) maintained by the library. I'm sure the Vudu service allows for personal use only, but is this allowable under some sort of right-of-first-sale? Curious to hear your thoughts!
