http://www.univie.ac.at/voeb/blog/?p=17156 berichtet über eine britische Studie:

The study confirmed through ana­ly­sis of a rep­re­sen­ta­tive set of tit­les publis­hed wit­hin the 140 years bet­ween 1870 and 2010, that rights cle­arance of works on an indi­vi­dual, item by item basis is unwor­ka­ble in the con­text of mass digi­ti­sa­tion. Mass digi­ti­sa­tion poten­ti­ally invol­ves the copy­ing and making avail­able of mil­li­ons of copy­right works. At 4 hours per book it would take one rese­ar­cher over 1,000 years to clear the rights in just 500,000 books – a drop in the ocean when com­pa­red to the rich collec­tions of Europe’s cul­tu­ral institutions.
