[LM_NET] MediaMaster

[Susan <susan@MAPLERIVERWINERY.COM>]

Does anyone have experience with the video distribution system, 
MediaMaster, from The Educational Technology Resources company 
(http://etr-usa.com/)?  A big selling point for them is putting the VHS 
and DVD movies on a server so you don't need to use the VHS and DVD 
machines.  Then, you can access the movies whenever you need them at a 
touch of a button. 
I'm wondering how this is legal.  Afterall, you are changing the format 
and you are making a copy of the movie.  I tried emailing their support 
email address and the address does not work.

Also, we are having problems with them completing the setup of the 
entire system.  I would be interested in hearing about other experiences 
with this company.
