About this title

Synopsis

This must-have comprehensive guidebook covers copyright issues for Web sites, distance learning, circulating software, e-books, and more. It both explains and provides tools for managing institutional exposure for copyright risk-management and covers: direct, contributory, and vicarious infringement, immunity, damage remission, notice provisions, and more. Tomas Lipinski offers his expertise on copyright liability issues specifically aimed at libraries and information centers. Current, practical, and authoritative, Lipinski includes discussions of the DMCA, TEACH Act, and other recent legislation as well as sample notices, policies, and audit tools.

Reviews

This is the first entry in a new series, the Legal Advisor for Librarians, Educators, and Information Professionals. Lipinski, who coauthored The Library Legal Answer Book (ALA, 2003), is the series' editor as well as author of this title, which is divided into five parts. Part 1 examines the three types of liability: direct, contributory, and vicarious copyright infringement. Part 2 addresses penalties and immunities and includes a chapter on Section 512, "Safe Harbor." Part 3 explores the impact of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Part 4 proffers three ways to limit exposure to copyright liability, covering reproduction, interlibrary loan, circulating software, and distance education. Part 5 provides compliance tools: a copyright compliance audit, an implementation checklist for Section 512 registered agents, and 16 sample copyright policies. Each chapter ends with "Real-World Examples," "Key Points for Your Institution's Policy and Practice," and extensive endnotes. The book delves deeper into liability than most others and is an important read for those setting policy. Keep the highlighter at hand when reading! Esther Sinofsky
