There was a famous case on this. If I remember correctly a nursing home in
which the residents are more or less home bound was
exempt from any need for PPR because it was in fact their home. This did not
apply to a retirement community in which residents could come and go as they
pleased and in which a common area screening WOULD be considered public
I have some vague recollection that the MPAA somehow wanted at $1 payment
per year to save face but not sure how
it ended up

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.
