Dear LIS Professionals,

Let's Discussion a topic "Is it an illegal case against the copyright rules"?

 

As my reference from

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_   

 

Intellectual property (IP) is a term referring to a number of distinct types of creations of the mind for which a set of exclusive rights are recognized—and the corresponding fields of law.[1] .

 

Under intellectual property law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs.

 

Common types of intellectual property rights include copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights and trade secrets in some jurisdictions.

 

 

My Questions

When we purchase e-books/e-documents & provide among the users of our library.................They save these e-materials & also provide to their friends.......by this way e-materials duplicated.

 

1-Is it an illegal case against the copyright rules?

               1-(a) - If yes......... isn't there any right of library for providing Information?

                                             1-(a)-(i) - If yes......What is it's Limitation?

 

 

2-If No...........What is the value of  IPR ?

 

 

 

Waiting ur reply……………..

Thanks & regards,

NIRANJAN

Dear Niranjan,

Downloading of the electronic material is OK by the users of the your organization, if it is subscribed as an institutional subscription. Because after all they are the ultimate beneficiary.

But they are not supposed to forward e-material to the person outside the institution or the person not associated with your institution.  If they do so definitely it will fall under the copy right violation. To forward the e-material for outsiders permission should be taken for reprint from the publishers, and this should be done with using proper digital right management, to avoid further duplication. what you can do is to issue white paper with help of publisher for the awareness of copy violation and use of e-materials in your institution.

I would welcome further discussion on this topic.

 

Regards,

Ram Laut Tyagi
