January 17, 2002 at 9p.m. E.T./P.T. on PBS (check local listings at http://www.pbs.org/now/sched.html) Public libraries embody the American ideal that anybody can read, watch or listen to just about anything they want to. With publications and broadcasting delivered free by the Internet directly to homes, is the information revolution making libraries obsolete? As more people can access this content, the copyright owners -- in many cases large corporate publishing entities -- are looking for ways to charge fees. A growing chorus of lawyers, librarians, and educators fear the implications of losing free access to information for everyone. Appearing on the program are Nancy Kranich, Siva Vaidhyanathan, Patricia Schroeder, and Jack Valenti. On Friday, January 17, 2003, at 9 P.M., on PBS (check local listings at http://www.pbs.org/now/sched.html), NOW with Bill Moyers takes a look into the digital future of intellectual property and the debate that has pitted private control against the public domain. Tune in and share you views on the issues by joining the post-broadcast online discussion at www.pbs.org/now. Nancy C.
