The Copyright Office is trying to redefine libraries , but libraries donât want it â Who is i t for ?

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "Prof. N. Laxman Rao." <naglaxman(a)yahoo.com> Date: Sun, August 14, 2016 10:26 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://blog.archive.org/2016/07/27/the-copyright-office-is-trying-to-redef… The Copyright Office is trying to redefine libraries, but libraries donât want it â Who is it for? Posted on July 27, 2016 by Lila Bailey The Library Copyright Alliance (which represents the American Library Association and the Association of Research Libraries) has said it does not want changes, the Society of American Archivists has said it does not want changes. The Internet Archive does not want changes, DPLA does not want changesâ¦ So why is the Copyright Office holding âhush hushâ meetings to âanswer their last questionsâ before going to Congress with a proposed rewrite of the section of Copyright law that pertains to libraries? This recent move, which has its genesis in an outdated set of proposals from 2008, is just another in series of out of touch ideas coming from the Copyright Office. Weâve seen them propose ânotice and staydownâ filtering of the Internet and disastrous âextended collective licensingâ for digitization projects. These and other proposals have lead some to start asking whose Copyright Office this is, anyway. Now the Copyright Office wants to completely overhaul Section 108 of the Copyright Act, the âlibrary exceptions,â in ways that could break the Wayback Machine and repeal fair use for libraries. We are extremely concerned that Congress could take the Copyright Officeâs proposal seriously, and believe that libraries are actually calling for these changes. Thatâs why we flew to Washington, D.C. to deliver the message to the Copyright Office in person: now is not the time for changes to Section 108. Libraries and technology have been evolving quickly. Good things are beginning to happen as a result. Drafting a law now could make something that is working well more complicated, and could calcify processes that would otherwise continue to evolve to make digitization efforts and web archiving work even better for libraries and content owners alike. In fact, just proposing this new legislation will likely have the effect of hitting the pause button on libraries. It will lead to uncertainty for the libraries that have already begun to modernize by digitizing their analog collections and learning how to collect and preserve born-digital materials. It could lead libraries who have been considering such projects to âwait and see.â Perhaps thatâs the point. Because the Copyright Officeâs proposal doesnât seem to help libraries, or the public they serve, at all.Â Prof. N.LAXMAN RAO, President, Telangana Library Association Member, Advisory Board, National Library, KolkataUGC-Emeritus Fellow (2009-11) Professor in Library and Information Science, Osmania University, Hyderabad (super-annuated).
