Downloading, information filtering and copyright

Abstract

Downloading and information filtering are prerequisites for efficient use of electronic documents available in databases or on the Internet. Taking full advantage of electronic text collections requires a proper legal framework. Under present copyright law, electronic copying is subject to prior consent from the copyright owner, with due regard to fair use exceptions. This approach is followed by the European Union in its Database Protection Directive. The Directive leaves important questions concerning the fair use doctrine, compulsory licenses, and non copyright ('copyleft') to be resolved by national implementation as well as contractual arrangements between publishers and authors. The Directive's strong emphasis on direct revenues from users to copyright owners should be supplemented by compulsory licenses. Unrestricted access to information adds enormous value to database use and would result in more revenue for the authors and makers of databases. If the public's interest in access to information id deemed paramount to private copyright, government should intervene to secure sufficient revenues for the copyright owners
