Speakers will give a succinct review of Hatchette v. Internet Archive and controlled digital lending (CDL) in light of the section 107 fair use factors. The program will consider: 1) whether the holding only applies to books and electronic copy if it is available for purchase or license; 2) whether Authors Guild v. HathiTrust can be distinguished based on fair use grounds because HathiTrust had distinct, legitimate reasons to copy its holdings; 3) how lending practices under section 108 may provide an opportunity to continue digital lending; 4) responses and advice to members of library organizations like ALA, ACRL, and AALL; and 5) what a legislative solution might look like to permit CDL to facilitate libraries’ in the future, inspired by the state legislative work resulting from the Association of American Publishers, Inc. v. Frosh outcome in Maryland.

Target Audience:
