Amber,

 

Sounds like you're talking about a screenplay.  The language in the
copyright law doesn't mention either plays or screenplays by name, but
dramatic literary works.  I believe screenplays would fall under this
category just like plays.  If you don't consider a screenplay a dramatic
literary work, then I suggest writing Gustavo and asking him.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] a quick question regarding scripts

 

Hi all:

 I just saw the movie Hotel Rwanda, and I am still reeling from the movie.
However, my library has a book that contains information on the movie, as
well as scripts from the movie Hotel Rwanda, along with a script from a PBS
special.  I know normally one is not allowed to scan plays for BKS, but what
about scripts with in books?

Thanks.

Amber
