We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

225 our witnesses believe can be improved. I know from reviewing the written testimony, for example, that there are concerns that libraries, educational institutions and archives may suffer unintended negative impacts in their efforts to preserve and provide access to older copyrighted works for educational use. I want to make sure that we look carefully at those issues and take any steps necessary to make sure that those concerns are addressed. There are also concerns about works for which the time period for exercising termination under section 304 has already lapsed, and about unpublished works covered by section 303. I join the Chairman in welcoming our witnesses today, and look forward to hearing your views, and in particular, your suggestions for any fine-tuning that would strengthen this bill as it moves forward.
