As I understand it:
I can buy a DVD with PPR for the life of the product. Even if you stop
selling that DVD, if I still have it and it still works, I still have
those rights. What is the difference with a digital file?? It should
be the same thing. You sell it to me, you send it to me, and I own it
along with the rights until it's obsolete or broken. After a while,
your ownership runs out and you can't sell it anymore. But that
shouldn't affect the copy I already have. Please tell me what I'm missing.

Well being almost totally ignorant of digital technology it is hard for me to say. If in fact this is a format with life span similar to VHS or DVd which small companies at least have and continue to sell with some kind of PPR rights it might work but I suspect that realistically you are really looking towards licensing with more specific time frame between say 1-5 years.

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.
