Yes I know this happens at Kraemer which I went to once in NYC BUT in the dozens of other webninars and seminars mentioned here I never see any representation from from rights holders. I am curious if in the specific discussion on the "non profit" exemption was there any participation by right holders? I am also curious if the responses posted here regarding how the wording did not in fact cover films came up in the discussion at the conference.
Again the bigger issue to me are the seemingly endless 'in house" presentations of copyright issues like the "entertainment to education" transformative never include rights holders and that if an institution believes it to be accurate it does not cease paying for any licenses and inform rights holders either directly or posting its policies online?

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.
