Isn't the issue that one can restrict access however one wants for a public domain work in one's possession? <BR/><BR/>Mainly, you can't assert any rights or damages against someone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12505562.post-44800427122610810712007-03-10T16:21:00.000-05:002007-03-10T16:21:00.000-05:00John, I will look into your example, and if you se...John, I will look into your example, and if you send me your email adress I will get back to you.

Section 105 provides that "Copyright protection under this title is not available for any work of the United States Government, but the United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise."<BR/><BR/>Question--is Google holding back access to federal works on some other copyright theory? <BR/><BR/>And any idea if Google's going to offer a case law search any time soon? It would seem to be a natural move, given the scope of the book project . . .<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>John KellyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12505562.post-29573389636094316292007-03-09T10:55:00.000-05:002007-03-09T10:55:00.000-05:00Interesting that there is a performance right and ...Interesting that there is a performance right and not a right to grant access in your view.
