National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works, Meeting Number Three (White Plains and New York, N.Y., December 18-19, 1975).
Library of Congress, Washington, DC. Copyright Office.
The first day of the National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works' (CONTU) third meeting was spent at IBM processing headquarters, where commissioners learned about the history and terminology of computers, information storage methods, computer capabilities, computers and copyrights, future trends, and costs. On the second day they discussed an Australian copyright case in which the court decided that a university was responsibile for infringements involving self-service copiers. This led to discussions of possible coding of all works to identify what has been copied, licensing schemes, and the costs of such record keeping. Statistics on the size and markets of the publishing industry, and on the number and expenditures of libraries were presented. Future meetings, including possible contributions from the American Society for Information Science, were discussed. (LS)
