This is a special issue: “Catching Up with Copyright”
It includes:
* Copyright Currents, p. 1-19: DMCRA, DMCA-related cases, big media and peer-to-peer, database protection, and saving the public domain
* Copyright Perspective, p. 19-20: True Piracy and Other Thoughts
and a half page of housekeeping on page 1.
There will almost certainly be another (July) issue out before ALA, probably on or around June 21, with more varied fare…”
This is probably one of the best Cites & Insights I’ve read. If you’re at all interested in Copyright issues, and if you’re a librarian you should be, it’s worth a print, and a read.
“One of the best…”
Whew. And here I thought I was just getting rid of that pile of copyright stuff threatening to take over my entire home workspace…
Thanks for the kind comment.
The special copyright issue
Damn the ink cost. I printed the whole thing and am taking it to coffee this morning. And I’m going to recommend it to our Communications staff at (mega-)church. Although I do not represent a library vote, I’d prefer a theme arrangement if I were purchasing a print version for a library science collection.
