Yes, there are some practices that have been in place for many years to ensure that libraries do not destroy publishers' markets, but none of these have particularly escalated. In fact, we in America are BEHIND the curve in terms of rights enforcement. In Europe and elsewhere, royalties are collected from copy machines and distributed to authors. This is not done in the US. I strongly recommend Jessica Litman's book, which is mentioned in the paper. It has a much better sense of perspective than you've displayed here. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
