iPad 2 versus Kindle at CGW Publishing
Posted by: CGW Publishing | Apr 14, 2011 2:13:34 AM
It is important to note that the current lending of e-books occurs under negotiated licensing agreements between libraries and publishers and not under any right created by the Copyright Act. Libraries would argue fair use protects the lending of e-books. But the Office of Copyright has never supported this view. The Register of Copyright has held that digital lending is not a fair use and digital copying is for preservation only. In fact, the current § 108 does not speak to the type of digital lending that exists between libraries and publishers in negotiated licensing agreements. I hope this will change; after all, potential revisions and updates to the Library Exception have been and continue to be debated ad nauseam.
