Copyfraud

Fri, 2005/09/02 - 4:06am — mark

It is common practice among libraries, archives, and museums to claim copyright on scanned versions of public domain photos and texts. Jason Mazzone of Brooklyn Law School has just published a paper that characterizes this act as "copyfraud" -- "falsely claiming a copyright to a public domain work." Contract law can still apply to use of such images, however. LibraryLaw Blog also has a good posting on this topic.
