Emanuella Giavarra asked, if the subscription agents could possibly
substitute the collective societies in the negotiations with libraries for
electronic copying. I think that the subscription agents and the collective
societies have a different role as regards libraries, and that is why I
doubt if the collective agents can be substituted this way in negotiating
copyright issues.
By the way, I will attend the conference: Access To Public Information: A
Key To Commercial Growth And Electronic Democracy, arranged by
European
Commission in Stockholm, 27-28-6-1996. I will report my reflections on the
conference to the ecup-list subscribers.
