My co-librarian received a call last week from someone
and when she told me about it, it seemed to me like a
scam. The person on the phone said that it is illegal
to show videos in schools. In order to continue doing
so, we needed to pay them money in order to buy the
rights to do this.
I was under the impression that the videos we
purchased through educational catalogs allowed for us
to show videos to groups of students in a classroom
for free. I know that teachers can not rent videos at
Blockbuster and show to groups of students, but I
thought the ones we got through Library Video Catalog,
etc. were ok. Is this a scam?
