There is a panel on this subject and it features a wide variety of views ( unlike some other conferences & webinars) I plan to be there.

I'm sure this refers to yesterday's ruling in the Hathi trust case, in which a judge ruled (fair warning: I'm not a copyright attorney, just a librarian, and this is my interpretation!) that the ways in which Hathi Trust is using the scanned books is not against copyright law. As most will be aware from this lawsuit and the other Google-Books related lawsuits, simply "scanning books" is not the issue. Scanning books that are still in copyright and making them freely available without permission is against copyright law. I believe the person who told you this is giving you an overly simplistic (and incorrect) interpretation of the judge's ruling.

Transfer them all to streaming video or audio and put them online with log-in access protection. When I reply that copyright law does not let you change the format without the copyright holder’s permission, they tell me show us the law. They say even if it is in the law, it falls into fair use for non-profit educational institution. Can you direct me to the exact place in the law that talks about change of format and its exceptions? Also, yesterday one of them told me a federal judge has ruled that scanning books is not against copyright law. He said there is no difference between scanning a print book and put it online and transferring a DVD, CD, or a VHS to streaming video or audio. What do you think? Thanks.
