[ANPPOM-L] associação de bibliotecas norte-americanas endossa reforma de copyright de gravações

[Carlos Palombini]

American Library  Association is the sixth major organization to endorse
ARSC proposal  for sound recording copyright reform. The Council of the
 65,000-member American Library Association has voted to endorse the
Association for Recorded Sound Collections proposal that Congress direct the
U.S. Copyright  Office to conduct a study on the desirability of bringing
sound recordings made  before 1972 under federal jurisdiction. Such a study
would be the first step  toward realizing the first of ARSC's five major
recommendations for sound  recording copyright reform, to remove pre-1972
recordings from state control and  place them under a single national law
that provides for a public domain, fair  use, and preservation exemptions
for libraries and  archives. Wording for legislation to  authorize the study
has been prepared by ARSC and presented to the House  Subcommittee on
Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property. It is being  co-sponsored by
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) and Rep.
Steve Chabot  (R-OH). Five other organizations  have also endorsed some or
all of the ARSC proposals, which are designed to  encourage preservation of
and access to historical recordings, a majority of  which are currently
inaccessible due to state laws, while respecting the legitimate interests of
rights holders. The Association of Moving Image  Archivists (AMIA) is
backing the proposal for a Copyright Office study; and the  International
Association of Jazz Record Collectors (IAJRC), the Music Library
 Association (MLA), the Society for American Music (SAM) and the Society of
American Archivists  (SAA) has each voted to endorse all five of the ARSC
reform proposals, which can  be found at
