------------------
I'm not going to name names -grin- but there are
several of our distinguished colleagues out there who
are indeed digitizing video and making it available
under an interpretation of both fair use and the
licensing agreements. 

In all cases that I know of, there is both password
and location restriction.  I'm about to test a similar
arrangement -using video we have digital licensing
for, just in case- using a combination of a Blackboard
front end with yet another password *and* IP
restrictions at the RealServer level.  We've already
done a proof of concept test with some digital audio. 
I'll provide details off-list to anyone who wants more
info.

Samantha
