Copyright Summary

Copyright is a legal way of protecting the rights of those who produce creative work. At the same time, in order for the creators to benefit financially from their work, there must be users of the works. The mission of the library is to connect the users of creative works with the information they need. Producers and users need to work together toward a balance between, and a respect for the needs of both.
