Okay, I'll bite since I agree with both sides. What WOULD a fair pricing
structure be? Any ideas? And for what platforms?
I think, to be perfectly honest and to incur the wrath of librarians,
distributors of films like Kino and Milestone would be more agreeable to a
yearly rental. That way, when we lose rights, we can "pull the plug" and not
screw over the producers.

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.
