I am pretty sure you won=B9t find the exact words you can=B9t duplicate a VHS
to DVD in the copyright law
What you will find in section 106 is that duplication/reproduction ( whic=
h
is what you are doing ) is a right exclusively reserved to the copyright
holder.
The only exception to the above involves making a copy of deteriorating
work but said work must stay exclusively on the library
Premise and is subject to the restrictions in 108 in terms of conditions to
be met for legally doing it.
By the same token you can=B9t scan a copyrighted book and put the the disc i=
n
your collection or simply dub an extra copy on VHS
because you want another one. It is a pretty basic rule of copyright law
that you can=B9t make a copy of work without permission.
Sorry you have to waste time on this. PS I am going to guess that the
=B3patron=B2 is a professor.

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.
