KEI intervention on preservation exceptions at WIPO SCCR 30
This was the KEI intervention at SCCR 30 on the topic of preservation exceptions for libraries and archives.
Preservation is obviously important for everyone, and archiving in general is both a local benefit and to some degree, a global public good.
We want works preserved, and copyright and trade negotiators to sort out the issues regarding access, which will often be context specific.
Every country’s copyright laws should have as a minimum an exception for preservation.
