In K-12 we've seen this sort of scenario for video licensing:
- buy single or multiple copies of titles for circulation to schools
(discounts usually available for quantity purchases)
- buy physical copies along with closed-cast rights (pay more $)
- buy physical copies along with duplication rights (pay a lot more $)
- buy physical copies along with dupe and closed-broadcast rights (pay even
more $)
- buy streaming rights for a secured intranet that serves your customer base
and get VHS/DVD print and sometimes closed-cast and/or dupe rights (pay
quite a bit more $)
- buy streaming rights for delivery over the open internet (you can't afford
it and if you do it anyway, they'll come remove some limbs) :-)
Obviously, fair use doesn't do a thing for our circulating libraries...
