>the same library exemption
Reference please? Genuine question. As far as I know, libraries have very little in the way of special privileges outside of some specific rights in the analog realm which don't really apply in digital where first sale doctrine also doesn't apply.

- phonon 2y agoWhat's with the goalpost moving? Click on "Final Rule"[1] and the PDF goes into copious detail about what exemptions are currently in effect. Obviously there is no, and will never be, "carte blanche to libraries, however they care to define themselves, to have any generalized exemption from copyright law". There are specific, temporary, limited exemptions in effect. [1] https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-10-28/pdf/2024-24563.pdf https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-10-28/pdf/2024-2...
