Dear ecup-subscriber,
the following invitation is to all members of EBLIDA:
INVITATION TO A WORKSHOP ON NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN ELECTRONIC COPYRIGHT
On 4 and 5 November 1996 the Norwegian Library Association in cooperation
with EBLIDA and the Oslo College, Faculty of Journalism, Library and
Information Science is organising a workshop to inform all members of EBLIDA
on recent international and European developments in copyright, and to
prepare an EBLIDA position paper concerning the new proposals of the Expert
Committee of World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), Electronic
Copyright Management Systems and the Directive on the legal proctection of
databases.
The urgency of the meeting is due to the new proposals of the Chairman of
the WIPO Expert Committee for the new Protocol to the Berne Convention. On 1
September 1996, the Chairman presented its draft proposals to the
governments of the countries which are signatories to the Berne Convention.
Among them are all EU Members States. At the WIPO Diplomatic Conference in
early December 1996 these proposals are planned to be discussed and adopted.
The proposals will have far reaching consequences for the new electronic
services of libraries. Under discussion is which activities should be seen
as an act of reproduction in the new electronic environment. Everything that
is seen as an act of reproduction causes an infringement of copyright. This
could include, as proposed, viewing of a computer screen or faxing of a
document. Previous proposals of the EU and the USA to the WIPO Expert
Committee cannot be considered library friendly.
EBLIDA is grateful to the Norwegian library association for taking the lead
in organising this major event. I should like to ask you to support this
event by sending a representative of your association or institution to the
meeting.
Enclosed please find the programme of the workshop. Further information and
the application form will be sent to you by mail. Background documentation
will be distributed to all participants prior to the workshop.
