Nat - I'm not sure who told you this, but this is not industry practice.

Hi Brian,

 

As I understand the policy, you are permitted to digitize a video tape.
"The DVD is considered your "Back up" copy - which we are all legally
allowed to have/do. You can keep the Video as your "Master" and
circulate the DVD."

 

Hope this helps.

 

Nat

Does anyone have any information on the copyright issues for converting
an older VHS collection into DVD format? Someone told me it was okay if
for educational purposes, but I had thought that it was not.  Any
sources you have explaining this would be very helpful. Thanks!
