Peter Hirtle, LibraryLaw Blog; Using Netflix in a Library:
"One of the things that Napster taught us is that just because it is easy to do something, it is not always legal.
There is a recent post that has been getting some buzz. In “Using Netflix at an Academic Library,” Rebecca Fitzgerald describes how Concordia College uses a Netflix subscription to supply movies to students. She reports that using Netflix subscriptions has been a great success, saving the library over $3,000 so far by substituting film purchases and licensing with Netflix rentals and instant play.
The program appears to be popular with the students and saves the college money. It is easy - but is it legal? I don’t see how."
