855.0. "LeGuin's Lathe of Heaven" by NATASH::HYATT () Tue Jan 30 1990 16:49



	Does anyone know if Le Guin's "Lathe of Heaven" is on video?
	I've checked with a couple local stores and they don't have
	a listing for it.  I saw it on PBS many years ago and am
	dying to see it again.  Does anyone have it on a tape that
	I can borrow?

	Thanks,
	Mike

    No, it's not out on video. I understand there's some rights issues
    concerning it, which is why it's not, but I don't know the details.
    That's also why it hasn't been shown on PBS in a long time.
    
    I have it on tape, though it is a copy of my original recording
    (I recorded it at the Beta I speed and later duped it to Beta II
    speed). As is obvious, my copy is in Beta format, which probably
    isn't good for you.

855.2Need VHS formatNATASH::HYATTWed Jan 31 1990 09:449
	Damn, I was hoping that wasn't the case.  Its really a shame
	when so many people are denied the pleasure of seeing a truely 
	classic film like that because of legal hangups.  I hope its
	resolved sometime soon.

	No, Beta would not be of any use, I need VHS.  But thanks for
	the offer anyway Jerry.

855.3Note deleted by moderator actionPROXY::CANTORModeratorSat Feb 03 1990 01:2311
A note was deleted from this spot because it made an offer to copy a
tape.  I remind readers of and contributors to this conference that
copying tapes, books, etc. may constitute a violation of copyright.

Digital does not condone such unauthorized duplication.

Please see Jayembee's note 1.59 which states the moderators' position
on this issue.

    It was not my intention to violate any copyrights. I was under the
    impression that since the tape was made by taping a "through the
    airwaves" TV broadcast, it was not illegal. Is this not correct?
855.5Topic closed. Pointer to VIDEO conference.PROXY::CANTORGo ahead; quote my say.Mon Feb 05 1990 12:408
Taping from the airwaves is legal (but CATV is not "airwaves").  Making
a copy for someone else may or may not be.  Please see note 1.59.
Discussion of this issue should continue in the VIDEO conference (hit
KP7 to add it to your notebook), as suggested in note 1.59.

This topic is now closed.
