Abstract: The statutes themselves are not the only basis for deciding whether an intellectual property rights infringement has occurred. Ethical judgments can also influence judicial rulings. This column looks at three issues of intellectual property ethics: the nature of the property, written guidelines for behavior, and enforcement mechanisms. For most active infringers digital property seems unreal, the rules ambiguous, and the enforcement statistically unlikely.

Abstract: Discusses the challenges to the role of map librarian posed by new digital map products. Considers factors impacting on the level and scope of user services in digital map libraries, including the physical forms in which digital spatial data are available, the comparative potential of paper maps and digital atlases; problems associated with the quality of resolution of digital map data on screen; the different levels of use of digital material; and requests for output and the copyright problem. 4 examples of digital databases and electronic atlases are described

Abstract

Contrary to a popular belief of lawyers having the most strict perception of law, law professionals actually strongly skew toward more favorable views of digital sharing. According to our qualitative study, relying on in-depth interviews with 50 Harvard lawyers, digital piracy is quite acceptable. It is considered fair, especially among friends and for noncommercial purposes. We argue that this not only can indicate that the existing law is becoming outdated because of its inability to be enforced, but also that ethically it is not corresponding to what is considered fair, good service, or being societally beneficial. The common perception of relying on a fixed price for digital content is eroding. We show that on the verges of business, society, and law, there is a potential for the new paradigm of digital commons to emerge.

Abstract

The concept of a digital library has been stimulated by recent advances in computing technology. These developments hold the promise of transforming libraries into interactive centres of learning and research by virtue of inexpensive digital storage, easy-to-use search engines, and powerful computing hardware. However, libraries are handicapped in their move to digital collections by enormous legal problems in securing rights to much of the current literature. Solutions to this dilemma are not on the immediate horizon, but eventually will include changes in the current copyright law and technological arrangements to protect the interests of the owners of intellectual property. Suggests that librarians might find a more valuable role not in getting information to an electronic state, but in being its organizers and facilitators

Abstract

Examines the basic principles underpinning copyright in the context of the European Commission proposals and reviews the historical background to the growth of copyright and the arguments that continue to be employed by right holders to push for more protection. Illustrates that, to safeguard information access in the digital realm any further, extensions in copyright must be balanced with reciprocal exceptions. Concludes with suggestions for possible future exceptions in the digital domain and suggests that a major concern is that copying may well be forbidden in digital environments without a proper consideration of the relationship between copying, information use and knowledge generation

Abstract

In addition to stipulating economic rights, the copyright laws of most nations grant authors a series of "moral rights." The development of digital information and the new possibilities for information processing and transmission have given added significance to moral rights. This article briefly explains the content and characteristics of moral rights, and assesses the most important aspects of legislation in this area. The basic problems of the digital environment with respect to moral rights are discussed, and some suggestions are made for the international harmonization of rules controlling these rights

Abstract

This article discusses the accelerating trend of ownership rights in digital property, copyright, in specific. This trend is in contrast to the stated legislative purpose of copyright law to be neutral as to the technology that either owners employ to embody the copyrighted work or that others employ to facilitate access and use of the work. Recent legislative initiatives as well as interpretive court decisions have undermined this important concept. There is an ascendancy of digital ownership rights that threatens to undermine the concept of technological neutrality, which in essence guarantees that ownership and well as "use" rights apply equally to analog and digital environments. The result of this skewing is twofold: an unstable environment with respect to the access and use rights of individuals, institutions, and other users of copyrighted material, and the incentive of copyright owners to present works to the public in digital formats alone, where ownership rights are strongest. This article attempts to plot that digital ascendancy and demonstrate the undermining of neutrality principles.

Abstract

Raises a number of questions concerning current issues and problems in publishing and electrocopying in the academic field. Considers the influence of the Internet, the role of publishers in the future academic market, and how copyright law might develop as a result of changes in the digital world. Scholarly authors may in fact be better renumerated without publishers: universities will become Internet publishers. In the USA, 16 research institutes and libraries have formed the Digital Library Federation, and various models for scholarly communication in the electronic age are under discussion, aimed at providing appropriate methods of copyright clearance and renumeration mechanisms

Abstract

Passage of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) was a significant milestone in congressional information policy legislation. However, the results were widely criticized in some circles as providing too much Power to certain stakeholder groups. This paper uses computerbased content analysis and a theoretical taxonomy of information policy values to analyze congressional hearing testimony. The results of document coding were then analyzed using a variety of statistical tools to map how different stakeholders framed issues in the debate and determine if congressional value statements about the legislation conformed more closely to certain stakeholders. Results of the analysis indicate that significant differences in the use of information policy terms occurred across stakeholders, and showed varying degrees of convergence between congressional or other stakeholders when framing information policy issues.

Abstract

Explores some of the practical difficulties associated with the management information as a commodity, and sketches a framework in which to address the problem in the context of electronic publishing. The strategy is based on the integration of 2 groups of technologies, collectively refereed to as 'secure SGML' which merges the platform-independent data representation offered by the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) and related standards with the privacy and authentication functions offered by recent advances in key cryptography. This scheme allows implementation of a licensing strategy, thereby providing a means of addressing problematic copyright and public policy issues associated with digital media. Libraries can play a key role in the installation and maintenance of the infrastructure required to support new forms of information transaction

Abstract

This article details the public policy framework that establishes the legal foundation for requiring access to Web-based information resources for people with disabilities. Particular areas of focus include: the application of the fair use doctrine to an understanding of disability access to digital information; the application of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act to Web-based services; and the application of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act to Federal Web-based resources and the extent to which Section 508 may be applicable to states through linkage under the Assistive Technology Act.
