Hi everyone,



My library has dozens of VHS tapes that are licensed duplications of
content previously acquired in other formats or copied directly off air in
the 80s and early 90s. For many of these we have duplication licenses that
do not clearly address our right to duplicate these tapes in a new format
once their current format becomes obsolete. For others, we are unable to
locate the duplication license.



Does anyone have any advice on how we might proceed with transferring this
content to DVD when we can not find the license to duplicate or the license
to duplicate is otherwise unclear on our right to update the format?



Thanks for you time and consideration. Sincerely, Chris
