Dear Readers:

All three papers delivered at Session One of the College Art Association's recent "Town Meeting" on Copyright and Fair Use have now been posted to the Town Meeting website:

Peter Walsh. "The Coy Copy: Technology, Copyright, and the Mystique of Images." http://www.pipeline.com/~rabaron/ttm/WALSH.htm

Gary Schwartz. "No fair: long-term prospects for regaining unencumbered use." http://www.pipeline.com/~rabaron/ttm/SCHWARTZ.htm

David Green. "Your Copyright Future is Being Determined Now, or: Public Interest? What Public Interest?" http://www.pipeline.com/~rabaron/ttm/GREEN.htm

Peter Walsh discusses how the US copyright statute misunderstands and misrepresents the process of copying images. Gary Schwartz suggests various long-term strategies scholars can use to regain their rights to publish images without having to submit to steep reproduction fees. David Green discusses the copyright legislation before congress and the efforts of the library and scholarly communities to obtain favorable treatment.
