Well so far he is lucky. I assure you major studios don=B9t care about bad
press from what the know is illegal use of their product
The big outdoor shows in NYC are all licensed & sponsored
What really goes in favor of people not getting caught is that studios have
MUCH bigger problems with piracy
Swank on the other hand has a vested interest in going after these things (
though they pretty much just hand it over to
The MPAA). If your friend is ever dumb enough to show a Disney or Chaplin
film that shows up in ANY public listing
On the Web, they are really in for it

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.
