Audiovisual licensing: purchasing is not owning.
Discusses the use of licensing agreements for health sciences audiovisuals. The difference between productions covered by the copyright law vis-a-vis those with licensing agreements is explored and representative examples of agreements are provided. Health sciences producers have turned to licensing agreements for several reasons including the protection of their productions from illegal duplication. Whereas these agreements may protect producers, they also may unintentionally bar legitimate users from viewing programs and may also create additional work for LRCs and libraries.
