[Publib] re television series DVDs

[Marie]

What do you do if you suspect someone (a patron) in the library is just 
taking the DVDs to his computer and copying them right there in the library? 
 

No one in my library seems to care.  I only saw it once & I'm not 100% sure 
that's what he was doing.  The evidence suggests it (a pile of DVDs that he 
didn't check out and a lap top), but I don't know for sure.

Is this a policy we should have? Does anyone have a written policy.  What 
people do at home I can't control, but I don't want to be held responsible 
for people breaking the law in the library.

Thanks.

Marie
