Digitizing and hosting audio recordings containing copyright-protected material
When digitizing radio broadcasts of cultural significance (such as a talk show confronting social issues), must a library, museum, or archive remove any separately copyrighted songs before posting the recordings? This question assumes that the library, museum, or archive owns or has a license to use the overall recording of the broadcast. |

Photocopying Music Scores
We have a request from a patron from another state for scans or photocopies of music scores that we own and that are still under copyright. They are rare and only a few libraries have them across the country. The patron does not intend to perform the music, only to study the scores. Is it fair use to copy or scan them for the patron who is writing a doctoral thesis? |
