Abstract
Three critical issues⎯a dramatic expansion of the scope, duration, and
punitive nature of copyright laws; the ability of Digital Rights
Management (DRM) systems to lock-down digital content in an
unprecedented fashion; and the erosion of Net neutrality, which ensures
that all Internet traffic is treated equally⎯are examined in detail and their
potential impact on libraries is assessed. How legislatures, the courts, and
the commercial marketplace treat these issues will strongly influence the
future of digital information for good or ill.
