Abstract:
Six pre-selected legal concepts related to copyright law (copyright infringement, fair use, intermediate copy, library exception, property, and transformative use) are examined in relation to massive book digitization projects, such as the Google Book Search (Jeweler, 2005). Content analysis is applied to literature, published between December 2004 to present, in order to develop interpretive narratives for each concept. These concepts present a â snapshot-in-timeâ that covers current discussion for people tracking topics of interest.
