two, it was agreed to keep the examples anonymous since by definition if
they refer to current usage they imply contravention of the ban on

Hello.
As you know, it's 1201 rulemaking time again. Every three years, people
have the opportunity to present to the US Copyright Office comments
regarding any negative effect technological protection measures have on
lawful uses of protected works. One example, is the one that Gary has
mentioned -- A film studies professor from Penn State argued that he
should be allowed to circumvent technology on DVDs to extract clips for
classroom use. So since 2006, film and media teachers only have been
able to lawfully circumvent for this purpose.
Every three years, the negative effects of 1201 are examined again.
Film studies faculty will have to argue AGAIN for the
exemption.
Gary Handman has suggested that the video lib group submit comments
arguing that the clip exemption be broadened to other faculty and
teachers who use clips in the classroom. Gary shared with us his
comments for review. What we need now is specific examples of educators
using clips in the classroom. Because you are media librarians, we
assume that you have many examples of this but we need specific
examples. "Prof XXX used clips in his agriculture class to demonstrate
dandelion growth in various parts of the country (I know- dumb example)
during Fall semester 1998 at the University of XXX."
If we could get a few examples, it would be very helpful. Without
specific examples, _we will not get the exemption_. You can send
examples to me or Gary Handman.
Thanks very much.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between
libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
