The US Library of Congress and other EU bodies issued a joint report on digital preservation and copyright.
The International Study on the Impact of Copyright Law on Digital Preservation found that, although copyright and related laws are not the only obstacle to digital preservation, there is no question that those laws present significant challenges.
Among its several recommendations, the report underlines that copyright exceptions for digital preservation should not be conditioned on the category (such as literature or music) or format (such as compact disc or website) of the work.
The report co-partners include the Open Access to Knowledge Law Project– Queensland University of Technology Law Faculty, Australia; SURFfoundation, Netherlands; and the Joint Information Systems Committee, United Kingdom.
The full report is available in pdf format.
