      NOTE: It is illegal to transfer VHS to DVD without permission of the copyright holder. You can make back up copies that stay in the library and may not circulate (so they are pretty useless.) Consider your VHS as items that have worn out like books do. You must replace VHS with purchased DVDs. George Pilling, CAlib posting, Feb 25, 2011.

These are only guidelines in copyright law. Read the copyright law If the average falls at 3 or above, you should be allowed to use a copyrighted item whether or not the owner of the copyright gives permission. In general, the last row is the most important in a court of law, but it does not trump the other categories. It is always best to ask for permission whenever possible. Always credit the creator.
