[CALIBK12] Educational Exemption and Movie Licensing USA

[Alan Simsovic]

Our district is looking at Movie Licensing USA (A Swank Corporation).  If you have purchased a public performance site license, I would like to know which factors influenced your decision.

As for the Educational Exemption, if used correctly, wouldn't this offset the need to purchase a site license as long as the instructors and school are in compliance with the Face-to-Face criteria set up by Copyright Act of 1976, Public Law No. 94-553, 90 stat 2541: Title 17; Section 110(i)?

I am leery of private corporations who cite the "urgent" need to be "protected".  But I would like to hear what other librarians or schools have done.


Thank You,
