Copyright law should be amended to make it easier for libraries and archives to the preservation of online content without laws of copyright, according to a report released this month by a group of lawyers, Publishers and librarians. The “Section 108 Study Group Report,” is a model for the action of the United States Congress. Article 108 is a provision of the law of copyright, a copy of content protected by copyright for archiving. Among the findings of the report: Section 108 should be revised so that libraries and archives can be duplicated online, and the collection of materials and make available to scientists and researchers. But change will be publicly available on the content, not the content from the walls of the general use. And the copyright owner archivists could require that their equipment did not reproduce, on the condition that the material is not by the government or by a political site. |
