Hi Steven,
MPLC works with public libraries but not universities, unfortunately. I =
haven't found a company who does umbrella type licensing for universities. =
We usually work with Swank (swank.com) or New Yorker. Jessica is a dream =
to work with for Kino titles. You can frequently buy PPR for documentaries=
, that is why they charge the home viewer 19.95 and you $295, because you =
are paying for PPR. Our media collection circulates too. The campus =
funnels copyright questions to me and I try to "get to yes" for them or =
come up with another legal alternative.

The correct answer is NO WAY IN HELL until I see written confirmation that =
you obtained a license from the rights holder
Or you don=92t show it.
