In 1933, Walt Disney Company entered into a contract with Irving Berlin, Inc., assigning musical copyrights in exchange for a share of Berlin revenues. The agreement exempted from copyright protection Disney's use of the assigned music in motion pictures. The music was used in several Disney feature-length cartoons ( Snow White and Pinocchio ) that were later made available for sale on videocassette. Mr. Berlin's heirs brought suit, alleging infringement. Was this new technology an infringement? Could videocassettes have been anticipated? ( Bourne v Walt Disney Co., 68 F.3d 621 [2d Cir. 1995].)

If the media type was not mentioned in the agreement, it will not be recognized as an infringement as a motion picture is a moving image, whether it is embodied in a movie reel, video clip cassette, or DVD, and the copyright was for music which it had attained earlier.
No, video cassettes were a technological advancement which could not have been anticipated earlier but yet a clause could have been made specifying the terms of use.
