[LM_NET] V-Brick

[Doug Johnson <doug0077@GMAIL.COM>]

Hi Cheryl and others,

Our district is also looking at V-Brick or a similar system and would like
to digitize as much of our current video and DVD collection as possible as
well. I am thinking that this will be our strategy.

1. We will digitize titles only as they are requested.
2. At the time we digitize individual titles, we will write the
producer/distributor informing them of this project, carefully explaining
that the use would be within our district only. We will ask that they
respond only if they do NOT grant permission for us to do this.
3. If we are denied permission we will destroy the digital copy, but we will
*not* remove a title if if do not hear back.
4. We will keep a record of all correspondence.

Given the amount of published information that is in the "gray zone" - no
contactable ownership but not out of copyright, this seems to be the only
practical means of going about the task.

If it doesn't work, I'll send you all an email from jail.

Doug
