IP SIG: Access Denied: The Limits of Fair Use
A good summary of the issues, if anyone is looking forone: -- Access Denied: The Limits of Fair UseBy Elliot Zaret DC BAR http://www.dcbar.org/for_lawyers/washington_lawyer/february_2003/access.cfm "Apple’s slogan was simple, catchy, and hip: “Rip, Mix, Burn.” But at the end of the ads, it added another phrase: “Don’t steal music.”Perhaps nothing sums up the current battles over digital media more than the juxtaposition of those two phrases." --- You are currently subscribed to mcn_mcn-l as: rlancefi...@mail.wesleyan.edu To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-mcn_mcn-l-12800...@listserver.americaneagle.com

Quantity of holdings
Hello Everyone, Hopefully you won't see this as a waste of your time but I am trying to put together the start of my paper and am looking for a very broad statement re the number of artifacts actually held by museums. I have tried to look around the Net for a survey that talks about the number of items held by museums globally but can find nothing. Can any of you throw out a number of how many artefacts there are out there in museum-land? The purpose of the opening statement is to set the stage of how important it is to image RD to develop a solution that can capture the images and data of all of these artefacts in a manner that will allow their capture before they crumble away on us.
