[QuadList] VR-2000 training tape

[C. Park Seward]

Hi Frank,

Certainly.

I spoke with James Synder of the LoC this week about those tapes and he requested a copy.

Best of luck on your quest. Let's keep the knowledge alive! Please let me know if I can be of any help.

Best,
Park

I would see no conflict with the law if the Library of Congress and interested parties found the use of the content of use for educational and preservation purposes--kind of like the fair usage laws that apply to media organizations.  After all, LoC is the organization that issued the copyright.  If fair use applies those tapes could probably come into use by parties collaborating with the LoC to preserve the content of the Library's collection of 2" tape.
