This one is kind of biggie and filled with bits of irony. Link is below but in summery The Author's Guild and several international writers organizations are suing 5 (so far) American Universities over their plans to make Orphaned but still copyrighted works that were digitized by Google available. As most of you know the Google project is on hold and seen as unlikely to ever get approved and a key reason for this was the Federal Judge overseeing the case said the protections for Orphan works were vastly insufficient. The irony is that the Authors Guild was a party to that settlement but a number of individual authors and publishers objected.
Again this one is a major case. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/09/authors-guild-sues-universities-over-book-digitization-project.ars VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
