I see that notice on the film's website with the link to New Day for purchase. 
I'm sure the filmmaker is trying to control distribution and make sure that 
institutions buy the institutional version (and I don't think it's available on 
amazon, so they would probably just decline a direct order that looked 
institutional) but it is frustrating to see the perpetuation of misinformation.

I know this has been discussed here before, but I just noticed this on a film's 
website. It is interesting they make it look so legal. But we all know it is 
not true.





Note: It is a violation of copyright to host a public or classroom screening of 
a film using the home DVD. In order to stay legal and support the filmmakers 
who made ..., please buy one of our Institutional/Educational 
DVDs<https://www.newday.com/film/fixed> through ...

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.
