Why is the
price so high for videos licensed for schools?
Educational
videos are made especially for use by schools
and libraries. As a result, the potential sales are much
more limited than products designed for
the consumer market.
In
order to recover the costs of production
and advertising, educational videos have a substantially
higher price than consumer items. It's
usual and customary for libraries and schools to pay a
higher price for them.

There is a clear distinction
between "home" versus "public" viewings.
Our copyright restricts the manner in which our video may be
