Library Copyright Alliance Releases Statement on Copyright Reform
Washington DC-The Library Copyright Alliance (LCA) today released a
statement<http://e2ma.net/go/9364192531/3649914/106060332/11423/goto:http:/www.arl.org/bm%7Edoc/lca_copyrightreformstatement_16may11.pdf>
describing the key features copyright reform proposals should include in order
to constitute significant improvement over current law for libraries and their
users.
Interested parties are discussing with renewed vigor the issues of orphan
works, mass digitization, and even modernization of Section 108 of the US
Copyright Act in the wake of the Google Books settlement rejection by Judge
Denny Chin of the Southern District of New York. The LCA statement, which
represents the needs of library stakeholders in these debates, provides helpful
guideposts for these discussions.
Libraries have always advocated for reasonable copyright policy-in the courts
as well as in the US Congress. Library activities already benefit from broad,
flexible protection under the fair use doctrine and related provisions in
current law. The LCA's statement describes the status quo for libraries as well
as the policies that would constitute substantial legislative improvement to
existing copyright law.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
