HOW CAN A LIBRARIAN MAKE COPIES FOR PATRONS?
Take out a licence from the copyright owner, or from someone who acts on its behalf (e.g., RRO, an online host, a content aggregator…)
Make use of one of the exceptions to copyright
![Page 8: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

LICENCES
Copyright owner (licensor) grants licensee rights to do certain restricted acts
In return, fees are paid
Trend towards standardised terms
However, a plethora of licensing initiatives around CLA JISC/PA guidelines
![Page 9: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

ADVANTAGES OF LICENCES
Licenses can be tailored to the circumstances of different works, authors, publishers and distributors, with specific, variable terms and conditions
Contract terms can be negotiated, renegotiated, and then negotiated again
Global contracts across national legislation
![Page 10: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

EXCEPTIONS TO COPYRIGHT
Best known of these is “fair dealing” in UK, “fair use” in USA, “private copying” in continental Europe
Individual may make a single copy - or in some cases, multiple copies, of all, or less than a “substantial” part of a work, without having to ask permission or pay fees
Can be done only under certain conditions
![Page 11: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Unless a substantial part of a work has
been copied, no infringement of copyright
can be claimed.
Substantial relates to both quantity and
quality
Amount which may be copied without
permission is also linked to purpose
QUANTITY

ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES
Advice from the Copyright Directorate is that electronic signatures are legal for copyright declaration forms provided the signature complies with an “Advanced Electronic Signature” as defined in Electronic Signature Regulations 2001. That is:
uniquely linked to the signatory capable of identifying the signatory created using means that the signatory can maintain
under his sole control, and linked to the data to which it relates in such a manner
that any subsequent change of the data is detectable
![Page 21: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
EXCEPTIONS ARE A DEFENCE
Exceptions do NOT provide guaranteed immunity against an infringement action
You would have to prove you passed the three step test
Can be risky
![Page 22: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

THREE-STEP TEST
Exception to copyright only: in certain special cases which neither: conflict with the normal exploitation of the work; nor unreasonably prejudice the legitimate rights of the
author
Article 9(2) of Berne Copyright Convention

ELECTRONIC COPYRIGHT
Everything in machine readable form is in copyright
Includes digitised images, e mail, Web sites, e-journals, databases, pre-print archives, etc.
Just because it is available and free of charge does not mean it’s not in copyright.
There is not necessarily an implied licence to copy
![Page 24: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY
Copyright has always been a tension between owners and users
Up until recently, that tension was controlled by limitations in technology, but no more
![Page 25: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY
P2P file sharing
Transfer of materials from one medium to another
Wide-scale infringement of images, text
Wide-scale piracy of music, software, films
![Page 26: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

2. Contracts and Licensing
3. Technological Protection Systems

MAIN CHANGES IN COPYRIGHT LAWsince 1988 Act
length of term – 50 to 70 years; protection of databases; protection of software; EU directive (2003)
exceptions limited to non-commercial purpose; restrictions on communication to the public; protection for rights management information; protection for technical measures.

COMMERCIAL COPYING
Removes fair dealing and library privilege exceptions to copyright for copies made for commercial purposes
Primary impact is on photocopying; electronic licences cover most use of digital materials
Self-service photocopying is not allowed if it is for a commercial purpose
Permission will cost, whether from an RRO, aggregator or individual publisher
![Page 29: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

WHAT IS COMMERCIAL COPYING?
Has to do with making money – either for you personally or for your employer
Makes no difference who your employer is – commercial companies may need copies for non-commercial purposes, and non-commercial organisations may need copies for commercial purposes
No need to apply foresight - What was the reason that you wanted the copy at the time you asked for it?
Onus is on patron to make an honest declaration

RIGHTS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION
Legal protection for rights management information: prohibiting removal or alteration of rights management information acting against persons knowingly involved in distribution,
importation for distribution, broadcasting, communication or making available to the public of protected works from which electronic rights-management information has been removed or altered without authority
Rights management information is: “any information provided by rightholders which identifies the work,
the author or any other rightholder, or information about the terms and conditions of use of the work or other subject-matter, and any numbers or codes that represent such information.” For example, “All rights reserved. © Andrew Braid 2006”.
![Page 31: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
TECHNOLOGICAL PROTECTION MEASURES
TPMs used to protect copyright, related rights and database right are themselves protected
Specifically, protection against acts designed to circumvent TPMs where a person does so with the intention to infringe or conceal infringement
Also, protection against the manufacture, import, distribution, sale, rental, advertisement for sale or rental, or possession for commercial purposes of devices, products or components or the provision of services, where the intention is to enable circumvention of TPMs for the purpose of infringement
![Page 32: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
PROBLEMS OF TPMs
Directive requires that people should be able to enjoy exceptions to copyright
In practice, difficult to see how a TPM can be intelligent enough to do this; therefore rights-holder should be forced to drop TPM on demand – but how?
![Page 33: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

The British Library, in co-operation with the CLA, has developed a series of FAQs covering
General queries Example scenarios Document supply Reading rooms Where to go for further advice

IN SPITE OF THE CHANGES IN LEGISLATION
It is said that copyright infringement is the most common form of law breaking in the UK today
Even more common than speeding Yet how many actions for infringement take place each
year? It seems that even the owners do not have confidence in
the law
![Page 35: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
WHAT’S WRONG WITH COPYRIGHT TODAY?
Reacting to the threat of the digital age
Little objective evidence that strengthening copyright law improves the economic situation for rights owners – see also EU report on economic effect of database right
Changes in technology have often preceded changes to traditional roles, the collapse of old business models and the development of new business models
Copyright has existed for 300 years but that does not mean it has the right to continue to exist!
![Page 36: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
TO SUM UP
Copyright law has swung too far in favour of owners, say the users
There is wide-scale infringement going on, yet copyright owners are reluctant to take action
Owners are increasingly relying on TPMs and contracts to protect their interests rather than copyright
Millions now use Creative Commons licences and Open Access because they have no interest in commercial exploitation of their works
Do we need copyright at all?
![Page 37: Copyright in an electronic environment Andrew Braid Licensing and Copyright Compliance The British Library](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649e175503460f94b032f0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Receives free and unlimited access to other materials deposited in the same archive under the same conditions
Favoured by commercial publishers Nobody pays
Everyone deposits material for free Everyone who deposits under this model is granted equal
