Hello,
I am attempting to fill a request from a subject librarian for a DVD
produced by a foreign vendor. The cost is listed as an "educational
license fee." To the best of the information I have from the vendor,
the extent of this educational license is that the DVD can only be
screened in a non-commercial, closed circuit environment.
I am interrupting this to mean that we are not buying the DVD
out-right and thus cannot use it in a manner consistent with normal
practices under US copyright law.
Would my interruption be accurate?
What are some good resources for information on educational licenses
and/or dealing with foreign vendors?
Thank you,
Leigh Ann DePope
