publishers are delighted to give libraries temporary passwords to sample their products.
Copyright Management Information (Section 1202)
Copyright management information includes the copyright notice, the title of the work and other information that identifies it, identifying information about the author, performer, or director of a work, and the terms and conditions of use. The DMCA makes it illegal to knowingly falsify, alter, or remove any copyright management information with the intention of inducing or enabling infringement.[1] Don’t mess with copyright management information. This is only a snapshot of some of the DMCA provisions that may affect libraries. For more information on the DMCA, the U.S. Copyright Office,[2] Association of Research Libraries,[3] and EDUCAUSE[4] are particularly helpful.
