[CALIBK12] Video to DVD

Wed Oct 15 07:40:40 PDT 2008

I second, Barbara's thanks and suggestion.  I've bookmarked the
checklist and their main copyright page.  If anybody says, "yeah, but
who are they to say this?", I'm going to refer them to the link of the
"Office of General Council".  That looks pretty impressive.

Thanks Susan for posting this.

This is a great checklist!  We should all save/copy for future use.

Hello Becky and the CALIB Community,

My colleagues in the Video Round Table (VRT) of ALA at the university
level have far more knowledge about the TEACH Act than do I, so I posted
a question to them about the misinformation Becky is receiving about
digitizing their video collection. Below is the posting from a VRT
member at UNLV. This video on demand IP company is way out of line
telling Becky and the IT staff to digitize their collection. Follow
Tom's link not only to the check list, but scroll up as well for more
details about the TEACH Act. Posting below...

Hi Susan, 

Yikes.  There's no way that systematically digitizing that collection is
legal.  This person is right that the TEACH act is specifically for
distance ed.  Here's a handy checklist to see if what they are doing
qualifies:

We are going to a Video on Demand IP based system. The vendor is telling
the tech guys that they can digitize our video collections and cite the
TEACH act.  I have been trying to tell the Tech services director that
this act does not mean that we can digitize our analog collections or
even distribute DVD's over the network. It appears from my research that
TEACH is specific to distance learning situations and gives some of the
same fair use exemptions as face to face learning situations, but DOES
NOT suspend the main restrictions of copyright and fair use.  

Has anyone out there had to deal with this?  Any resources I can pass on
to the tech department.  The things I find on the internet do not refer
to video delivery to classrooms.

Yes, you'd have to replace them. :( However, how about asking the staff
if they can donate their old VHS players? You may be able to get 2 or 3
that way to help as you begin replacing the videos. I think a lot of
people still have their VHS players but don't use them. You could also
ask your parents!

It is a violation of copyright to transfer video to DVD even if the
video is out of print. Consider that it is a book that is worn out - you
have to purchase a new one, you can't digitize it or photocopy it. In
this case, whether or not it is for school use has no bearing. 

One of the great advantages of DVDs is that they are smaller than
videos!

Help, my friends!

We are having a "discussion" at our school which is becoming quite
heated.  We have a number of good educational videos, but just
discovered that we now only have one video player left in the whole
school.  Is it OK to transfer videos to DVD for classroom use, or do we
have to purchase new DVD's?  If that is the case, what do you do with
old videos after discarding? 

I only know I would LOVE to have the three stacks that are devoted to
video for books!

Thanks for any help clarifying this before it comes to blows. (As if we
don't have better things to argue about!)
