Webinar: Benefits of Purchasing Perpetual and/or Life of File Collections

Video Trust presents, Can I Keep It?:Benefits of Purchasing Perpetual and/or Life of File Collections

With increasing budget cuts, media library professionals are being encouraged and sometimes pressured to seek out perpetual or life of file collections. What does it mean to “own” a film in perpetuity versus life-of-file? What are the benefits to purchasing these types of collections? What are the challenges facing distributors and libraries when these options are not available? In this 60minute webinar, our panelists will discuss these issues and more.
