EBLIDA, LIBER and ENCES Statement on the EC Proposal for a Draft Directive on Orphan Works | LIBER

Connotea Imports 2012-07-31

Summary:

"EBLIDA (European Bureau of Library Information and Documentation Associations), LIBER (Association of European Research Libraries) and ENCES (European Network for Copyright in support of Education and Science) welcome the commitment of the European Commission to find a solution for Orphan Works (orphan works are in-copyright works whose creators cannot be identified or found)....We believe access to letters, manuscripts, documentary photographs, films as well as oral histories and radio broadcasts, already freely available and publicly accessible from museums, libraries and archives are equally important facets of European culture. Any proposal that excludes these formats would be in conflict with the recent Comité des Sages report and we believe runs counter to the Digital Agenda itself...."
