Lawyers, Judges, eBooks, and Privacy: Tortoise or Hare, Legislation or “Free” Market?
In the race to eBook-nirvana, should lawyers and judges stop long enough to read the privacy fine print in their eBook contracts? (You can be sure law librarians are reading it.)
We all know (at least I hope you all do) that publishers and digital distributors collect data on how you use your eBook. They know what you read, how fast, if you read the end before you read the beginning – well, maybe not the latter. But they could track that if they wanted to and come up with a profile of people who do just that (ahem).
Don’t forget that Wall Street Journal article, July 19, 2012, “Your E-Book is Reading You,” by Alexandra Alter, about data collected on the average eBook reader.

Law eBooks are not pBooks: Sharing, Privacy, and Cost
Lawyers, law firms, and law libraries have historically shared books with each other. We now have some important eBook purchsing, borrowing, lending, and licensing issues to catch up on.
This will cost time and money to learn, prepare, monitor, and audit.
At the very least you will need the right eReader, the right App, and the right license.

Can I Make a Digital Copy of a Book Published before 1923?
The Library Law blog (not to be confused with the Law Librarian Blog 🙂 takes comments on this question (see full post and comments here):
“I wonder if you can help me locate information on the following scenario. I borrow a book from a library (public or school) which was published before 1923 and is therefore in the public domain. I would like to make a digital image copy of this book both for my own use and to distribute freely to others.
Assuming there’s no license or other relevant & explicit limitation on borrowers’ use of library materials, is it necessary to obtain permission from the library before doing this? Is it common for libraries to create such limitations regarding public domain works?”
