What's wrong with fair‐use guidelines for the academic community?

Kenneth Frazier

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1999, vol. 50, issue 14, 1320-1323

Abstract: The Conference on Fair‐Use (CONFU) guidelines would impose a peculiarly narrow interpretation of fair use in copyright law at a time of rapid transition from print media to digital information. Educators should oppose institutional adoption of guidelines because they undermine the historical commitment to open access to information, contradict the plain language of the law, and set the stage for a more restrictive and expensive scholarly communication system.
