I imagine our content providers are saying, "Even one episode (if shown in its entirety in this manner) violates copyright law."
-----Original Message----- From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Maureen Tripp Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2016 7:32 AM To: Videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] streaming rights for TV series? Would like some feedback on the following scenario: The complete first season of All in the Family is part of the library's media collection. A TV writing faculty member wants to show a single episode to students enrolled in an online course. The faculty member would borrow the DVD from the Library, take it to media/instructional services and ask that it be digitized and uploaded to an internal streaming service so that it could be streamed via a course management system. However, if this TV writing faculty member wants to stream more than one episode, then the fair use analysis would weigh against fair use, and they would need to seek streaming rights. And speaking of streaming rights for TV series, does anyone have any tips on how to proceed? Thank you, Collectively Wise Ones. Maureen 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.
