The core of the draft treaty requires that all copyright laws contain rights to use materials for educational or research purposes compatible with fair practice, including:
Hi allAt risk of potentially provoking argument, I do see potential problems with some of the bullet points above.For example:
- making copies in the course of teaching, learning, and research - this should ideally have some kind of limitation on fully copyright works. In a digital context, permitting a limitless amount of copying in the name of education is just an open license to copy and distribute works. This in essence is why Sci Hub exists.
- to use works for computational or other research uses that do not themselves express or communicate the work to the public, including indexing and text and data-mining - this is potentially rather dangerous ground, is it not? Data mining of large data sets or data gathering for 'computational' purposes infringes privacy on a mass scale.
Also, can some please clarify 'importing lawfully made copies of materials' - Does it mean importing, as in across copyright territories, or what?Im now reading the full doc!Pen
