Top Trends in Copyright Law (MLW)

Presenter: Gretchen McCord, MSIS, JD

www.digitalinfolaw.com

Slides available at: http://www.digitalinfolaw.com/uploads/1/9/8/6/19867735/top_trends_in_copyright_mlw_2013.pdf

• Trend #1: Fair use attacked by corporate copyright owners • Example: Authors Guild sues HathiTrust and Google

• Trend #2: For the moment, fair use rights have been confirmed • 3 key cases on appeal

• Trend #3: Mass digitization projects including those with focus on public domain, orphan works • New guidelines from Association of Research Libraries; Society of

American Archivists

Top Trends in Copyright Law (MLW)

• Trend #4: Move from ownership to licensing

• Really see this with e-materials

• Trend #5: Open access

• Not public domain, authors retain the copyright not publisher

• Not for authors not reliant on sales of works (not model for everything)

Some Laws and Regulations tied to open access

• Federal Research Public Access Act and Fair Access to Science & Technology Research Act

• NIH Public Access Policy
