Navigating copyright has become an essential skill for archivists thinking about giving access to collections. The pace of change can make it a challenge to remain current. The panelists—all  acknowledged experts in intellectual property—report on the status of evolving issues, including recent cases about fair use, legislative action (highlighting pre-1972 music recordings) and SAA's international copyright advocacy, and give examples of digitization projects that are managing copyright risk with bold interpretations of fair use.
