United States
Copyright -- United States
(2) excuses a person who uses such reproducing equipment or who
requests a copy or phonorecord under subsection (d) from liability for
copyright infringement for any such act, or for any later use of such
copy or phonorecord, if it exceeds fair use as provided by section 107;
(3) shall be construed to limit the reproduction and distribution by
lending of a limited number of copies and excerpts by a library or
archives of an audiovisual new program, subject to clauses (1), (2),
and (3) of subsection (a); or
(4) in any way affects the rights of fair use as provided by section
107, or any contractual obligations assumed at any time by the library
or archives when it obtained a copy or phonorecord of a work in its
collections.
(g) The rights of reproduction and distribution under this section
extend to the isolated and unrelated reproduction or distribution of a
single copy or phonorecord of the same material on separate occasions,
but do not extend to cases where the library or archives, or its
employee--
(1) is aware or has substantial reason to believe that it is engaging
in the related or concerted reproduction or distribution of multiple
copies or phonorecords of the same material, whether made on one
occasion or over a period of time, and whether intended for aggregate
use by one or more individuals or for separate use by the individual
members of a group; or
(2) engages in the systematic reproduction or distribution of single or
multiple copies or phonorecords of material described in subsection
(d): Provided, That nothing in this cause prevents a library or
archives from participating in interlibrary arrangements that do not
have as their purpose or effect, that the library or archives receiving
such copies or phonorecords for distribution does so in such aggregate
quantities as to substitute for a subscription to or purchase of such
work.
(h) The rights of reproduction and distribution under the section do
not apply to a musical work, a pictorial, graphic or sculptural work,
or a motion picture or other audiovisual work other than an audiovisual
work dealing with news, except that no such limitation shall apply with
respect to right granted by subsections (b) and (c), or with respect to
pictorial or graphic works published as illustrations, diagrams, or
similar adjuncts to works of which copies are reproduced or distributed
in accordance with subsections (d) and (e).
