EU will den Wert der Public Domain erkunden

http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/digital_libraries/index_en.htm

Die Frage ist, wie die beteiligten Bibliotheken PD definieren: PD sind die schmalen Landfetzen ausserhalb der bibliothekseigenen Copyfraud-Einzäunungen?

Das Problem sieht die Ausschreibung sehr wohl: “In certain circumstances, however, some conditions on “digitized” public domain
material are being established for its access and reuse. These range from establishing
some fees to recoup some of the cost to the establishment of deals between cultural
institutions and private firms for certain type of access and reuse conditions of this
material. This could lead to public domain material becoming somehow “privatised” in
the digital world through restrictive access and re-use conditions”.
