Wow just screw rights holders/filmmakers if they don't police youtube every day? RAISIN IN THE SUN is a 25 year old TV Production is so complicated it can't even be put out on DVD. I would guarantee it has complicated rights that are owned by more than one party It is 100% illegal. There literally millions of illegal film postings on youtube and if you pull one down another goes up under another name. Ironically some of the larger rights holders who try to pull stuff down with search engine help often end up with many mistaken calls because even they can't afford to have people individually look for illegal postings So you want a rights holder to spend his or her entire life & money making sure their film is not on youtube? I guess I should not be surprised by anything you post but why even bother pretending it is remotely legal. Again I am comfortable saying 99% of feature films on youtube are illegal ( this included otherwise PD films where copyrighted special editions are ripped off) and as always I find it stunning that you think it is OK to use it as long as a rights holder or in this case likely scattered rights holders does not catch you.

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.
