Where is the firestorm? I guess no response means librarians agree with the ruling. As an educational producer, the fact that there was no transformative use is scary. However, the fact the judge put added wait on the affect on market value and GSU only used excerpts is a little reassuring. If a judge found streaming a whole educational program was fair, I think it would be the beginning of the end of our industry.
Ironically the next post by Maureen questions if a whole short film can be digitized and put online. You know where I stand on the issue. Regards, Bob Robert A.

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.
