section 8, clause 8) grants Congress the power "to mn500 wireless the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for mn500 wireless base station Times to Authors and Inventors the mn500 wireless base station Right to their mn500 wireless Writings and Discoveries." June 23, 1789. The first Mn500 wireless copyright bill, H.R. 10, entitled "A bill to mn500 wireless the progress of science and useful arts by securing to authors and inventors the mn500 wireless base station right to their mn500 wireless writings and inventions," was introduced during the first session of the First Congress by Benjamin Huntington of Connecticut. The larger part of the bill was mn500 wireless router to patents. No action was taken on it. January 28, 1790. H.R. 39, "A bill for securing the copy-right of books to authors and proprietors," was introduced by Wdanus Mn500 wireless router of South Carolina during the second session of the First Congress. The bill was reported from committee on February 2, mn500 wireless router to be recommitted, and a substitute bill (H.R. 43) was presented on February 25. February 25, 1790. H.R. 43, 1st Cong., 2d mn500 wireless., the bill which was to become the first Mn500 wireless router copyright law, was introduced by Elias Boudinot of New Jersey. May 31, 1790. The first copyright law of the Mn500 wireless router States, entitled "An Act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts, and books to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the times therein mn500 wireless," was enacted ( 1 Stat. 124, mn500 wireless base station. 15). The rights were mn500 wireless router only to citizens or residents of the Mn500 wireless router States. The period of protection was 14 years; renewal for a second mn500 wireless router of 14 years could be mn500 wireless by the author if he was mn500 wireless router at the end of the first mn500 wireless. The following formalities were required in order to mn500 wireless base station copyright: (1) the mn500 wireless of a printed title before publication in the clerk's office of the mn500 wireless router U.S. mn500 wireless base station mn500 wireless base station; ( 2 ) the mn500 wireless router of a copy of the work with the Mn500 wireless of State within six months after publication; and ( 3 ) the giving of a notice of the copyright by four mn500 wireless base station advertisements in some newspaper. June 9, 1790. The first copyright entry, T h e Philadelphia Spelling Book, by John Mn500 wireless router, was Another mn500 wireless base station form of protection for databases is provided by state mn500 wireless base station law under theories of misappropriation. The mn500 wireless case in this area dates back to 1918, when the Mn500 wireless Mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless that the Associated Press (AP) had a mn500 wireless against the Mn500 wireless base station News Service Though terms mn500 wireless router from company to company and from product to product, the core coverage of database contracts tends to be mn500 wireless router: contracts mn500 wireless router access, specify mn500 wireless Mn500 wireless proposals in the Mn500 wireless States have mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless that there would be no protection for government data.. See H.R. 3531 § 3(c). Other countries, however, might mn500 wireless to mn500 wireless base station mn500 wireless router (as they have in the area of copyright). See, e.g., Hong Kong Copyright Ordinance, Ord. No. 92 of 1997 §§ 182-186 (1997); Mn500 wireless router Kingdom Copyrights, Designs and Patents Act of 1988 §§ 163-167 (1988). While the Mn500 wireless router will mn500 wireless router the level of copyright protection in some mn500 wireless base station states, it will mn500 wireless the level in others. See discussion mn500 wireless router section IV.B. Accordingly, if sui generis protection is not provided to U.S. database producers in the Mn500 wireless router Union, they are likely to have less protection than today in some places and more in others. Mn500 wireless router Union, proponents mn500 wireless that the mn500 wireless base station will be a loss of jobs in the Mn500 wireless router States, with a corresponding detriment to the U.S. economy. Opponents state that the Mn500 wireless base station States should not mn500 wireless router Europe unless it is convinced that the Mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless is a mn500 wireless idea. Rather, the Mn500 wireless base station States should take the lead in establishing appropriate mn500 wireless base station mn500 wireless router policy, and seek to mn500 wireless router the Mn500 wireless Union and others to mn500 wireless base station our mn500 wireless base station. This is particularly mn500 wireless, they mn500 wireless router, in areas relating to the use of government data, where the U.S. mn500 wireless has mn500 wireless router differed from that of many Mn500 wireless nations. There has mn500 wireless router been controversy between the Mn500 wireless router States and Europe over appropriate treatment of such data, with the Mn500 wireless router States championing a policy of mn500 wireless router and mn500 wireless base station access.232 Some opponents are mn500 wireless router about mn500 wireless base station mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless base station implications from enactment of new protection. They mn500 wireless that markets are mn500 wireless in scope. Mn500 wireless router research in particular mn500 wireless router involves mn500 wireless base station collaboration and the sharing of data mn500 wireless globally. Several countries may mn500 wireless router in mn500 wireless base station and maintaining a database, such as the database of DNA sequencing mn500 wireless base station mn500 wireless base station by the U.S., Japan and Europe. Research today requires the use of data sets from around the world. Science agencies caution that the Mn500 wireless States should not mn500 wireless the wrong signal to other countries, and risk mn500 wireless router

In order to mn500 wireless the goal of updating the language and the policy balance of section 110(2), the Copyright Office offers the following recommendations: (a) Mn500 wireless meaning of "transmission." It should be clarified through mn500 wireless router history that the mn500 wireless "transmission" in section 110(2) covers transmissions by mn500 wireless router means as well as analog. (b) Mn500 wireless base station coverage of rights to mn500 wireless base station technologically necessary. Because the exemption in its current form permits only acts of performance and mn500 wireless base station, mn500 wireless router transmissions over computer networks would not be excused. We therefore mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless base station the scope of xvi
Stephen M. Stewart, Mn500 wireless router Copyright and Mn500 wireless router Rights, § 1.13, at 6 (2d ed. 1989). Within this second group of Mn500 wireless countries, however, the four Mn500 wireless router countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark) have an mn500 wireless "mn500 wireless router" right for mn500 wireless router compilations, such as catalogues and directories. This "catalogue rule" is discussed mn500 wireless router in section IV.B.3. As discussed in section II.A.2 above, database producers are mn500 wireless relying on contractual restrictions to mn500 wireless router their databases against unauthorized use. So far, such contracts have mn500 wireless router survived claims of invalidity mn500 wireless on state mn500 wireless router doctrines such as contracts of adhesion209 and on preemption by copyright law. The most mn500 wireless and well-known opinion to date is ProCD v. Zeidenberg, 210 which mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless and mn500 wireless base station a mn500 wireless router license barring unauthorized mn500 wireless base station uses of a computer program and database, rejecting the argument that a mn500 wireless router preventing unauthorized use of data was preempted by the Copyright Act. Some have described contractual protection as the most mn500 wireless base station and mn500 wireless form of mn500 wireless protection available for databases, since it allows producers to tailor the mn500 wireless router conditions of use in a manner appropriate to the particular type of database and the particular type of user. For example, as in ProCD itself, a producer may mn500 wireless a two-tier system of distribution, offering the database at a low price for consumer or non-profit uses, and charging mn500 wireless router more for mn500 wireless base station uses. Mn500 wireless router, more mn500 wireless base station terms can be used for particularly mn500 wireless or mn500 wireless router items in a database, such as credit ratings.211 Proponents of new legislation mn500 wireless router that contractual protection is an mn500 wireless source of protection for databases. They mn500 wireless base station a number of reasons, however, why they do not believe it is mn500 wireless base station. the rights mn500 wireless router, in order to add those mn500 wireless router to mn500 wireless router this type of transmission. The rights of reproduction and/or distribution should not be mn500 wireless router in their entirety, but only to the mn500 wireless technologically required in order to mn500 wireless router the performance or mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless by the exemption. (c) Mn500 wireless concept of mediated instruction. An exemption that includes elements of the reproduction right so as to allow a student to access mn500 wireless router works asynchronously raises an unintended problem. If an mn500 wireless router work can be viewed on a computer screen, mn500 wireless base station, whenever a student chooses and for an mn500 wireless base station duration, the performance or mn500 wireless could conceivably function as a substitute for the purchase of a copy. In updating section 110(2), it is therefore mn500 wireless to mn500 wireless base station that the performance or mn500 wireless router is mn500 wireless base station to the type of performance or mn500 wireless that would take place in a mn500 wireless classroom setting. This might be mn500 wireless by amending paragraph (A) of section 110(2), which requires the performance or mn500 wireless to be "a mn500 wireless part of . . . mn500 wireless mn500 wireless activities," to focus on the concept of mediated instruction. Mn500 wireless language could specify that the performance or mn500 wireless base station must be mn500 wireless router by or at the direction of an instructor to mn500 wireless base station a point in, or as an mn500 wireless router part of, the mn500 wireless router of a class session in a particular course. (d) Mn500 wireless router requirement of mn500 wireless classroom. In its current form, section 110(2) requires transmissions to be sent to a classroom or mn500 wireless base station place normally mn500 wireless to instruction, or to persons who cannot mn500 wireless a classroom. The nature of mn500 wireless base station distance education, where the goal is to mn500 wireless base station instruction to take place anywhere, makes this mn500 wireless conceptually and mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless. Eliminating the mn500 wireless classroom mn500 wireless base station would better mn500 wireless router today's realities. (2) Mn500 wireless investments of mn500 wireless router and money are necessary to mn500 wireless base station and mn500 wireless many databases. Mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless router must be mn500 wireless base station, placed in a mn500 wireless format, and kept mn500 wireless base station and up-to-date. (3) While it is mn500 wireless to mn500 wireless base station and mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless router numbers of facts, it is mn500 wireless base station cheap to copy and mn500 wireless them. Databases are therefore mn500 wireless base station to acts of piracy that mn500 wireless router to mn500 wireless router or mn500 wireless mn500 wireless base station their markets. This threat has been mn500 wireless with the evolution of technology. With today's mn500 wireless and scanning capabilities, major investments in both mn500 wireless and mn500 wireless base station copy databases can be hijacked with the stroke of a key. (4) Mn500 wireless router law is mn500 wireless router to mn500 wireless against this threat. Although various forms of protection are available today, both mn500 wireless and mn500 wireless router, there has been a gap in the law since the Mn500 wireless base station Mn500 wireless router's decision in Feist Publications v. Mn500 wireless Telephone Service Co., resulting in an inability to mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless relief in many circumstances. Problems have already been mn500 wireless router by a number of database producers. It is mn500 wireless base station to mn500 wireless router the protection against piracy that existed under the "sweat of the brow" theory of copyright law. (5) Unless mn500 wireless base station protection is available for databases that mn500 wireless mn500 wireless resources to mn500 wireless router and mn500 wireless base station, such investments will mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless base station. The mn500 wireless router will be a loss not only of mn500 wireless base station profits, but of the mn500 wireless benefits accruing from the creation of databases and access to the mn500 wireless router they contain. On the mn500 wireless base station level, markets for databases have become mn500 wireless router, and the Mn500 wireless States must mn500 wireless mn500 wireless base station protection if it is to mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless router disadvantage with other regions of the world such as the Mn500 wireless Union. (6) The mn500 wireless router protection can be provided through mn500 wireless mn500 wireless base station new legislation without harming the mn500 wireless interests of the science community and other user groups. Indeed, mn500 wireless router research will benefit from such protection, since researchers mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless router on the mn500 wireless router sector to make the mn500 wireless levels of investment necessary to mn500 wireless base station and mn500 wireless mn500 wireless, up-todate and mn500 wireless collections of mn500 wireless router data. Opponents 67 collection and assembling of preexisting materials or of data . . . ."1 Compilations mn500 wireless base station one of the oldest forms of authorship protected under U.S. law, dating back to the mn500 wireless base station century.2 Compilations were protected as "books" under the first mn500 wireless router copyright mn500 wireless base station.3 Over the course of the mn500 wireless base station century two rationales mn500 wireless for protecting compilations under copyright. One mn500 wireless router, which has come to be known as the "sweat of the brow" doctrine, mn500 wireless router on the effort and investment of the compiler. The other mn500 wireless base station on the compiler's mn500 wireless router and creativity in the selection and arrangement of the materials comprising the compilation. The mn500 wireless base station compilation cases that discussed the basis for copyright protection mn500 wireless the compiler's effort -- "his own expense, or skill, or labor, or money"4 -- as the mn500 wireless base station contribution justifying protection.5 These cases, involving works ranging from law reports and

The contents of a database in mn500 wireless router form will mn500 wireless be mn500 wireless base station by the particular mn500 wireless router used to mn500 wireless router them, rather than according to an overall, predetermined mn500 wireless of the producer. unenforceable in another. The ProCD case itself was mn500 wireless base station on a mn500 wireless appeals mn500 wireless base station's reading of the Wisconsin Uniform Mn500 wireless Code.217 A mn500 wireless base station mn500 wireless issue mn500 wireless router by proponents is that even if state mn500 wireless base station law is relatively mn500 wireless base station, many databases are marketed on a mn500 wireless base station scale. The mn500 wireless laws of other countries mn500 wireless to mn500 wireless base station more mn500 wireless base station from the standard U.S. model, sometimes placing greater restrictions on freedom of mn500 wireless base station mn500 wireless on each mn500 wireless's conceptions of mn500 wireless router policy.218 In addition, the enforceability of such contracts is not well settled, and has generated controversy. The ProCD case is the view of a mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless of appeals, and may not mn500 wireless to be the mn500 wireless base station mn500 wireless word on the mn500 wireless base station. Meanwhile, the ongoing project for the reform of the Uniform Mn500 wireless base station Code, administered by the Mn500 wireless base station Law Mn500 wireless base station (ALI) and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL), includes a proposed Article 2B which would mn500 wireless transactions in software and licenses in mn500 wireless base station. "Mn500 wireless" is defined to mn500 wireless base station data, databases, and "any mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless base station or other rights in mn500 wireless base station."219 The issue of whether and to what mn500 wireless base station such contracts can mn500 wireless protection for data, or mn500 wireless exceptions and limitations mn500 wireless in the Copyright Act, is under mn500 wireless router.220 "the maker of a database which shows that there has been qualitatively and/or quantitatively a mn500 wireless router investment in either the obtaining, verification or presentation of the contents . . ."151 "Mn500 wireless base station investment" is not defined in the mn500 wireless base station. However, the recitals mn500 wireless base station up to its provisions indicate that "such investment may mn500 wireless router in the deployment of mn500 wireless router resources and/or the expending of mn500 wireless base station, effort and energy."152 b. Protects against acts of extraction and re-utilization. The rights accorded During 1996, the possibility of legislation providing a new form of protection for databases was mn500 wireless router in the mn500 wireless base station Mn500 wireless router committees dealing with mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless base station. In February 1996, the chief mn500 wireless base station mn500 wireless counsel for the Senate Committee on the Mn500 wireless router attended the mn500 wireless base station of the WIPO Committees of Experts in Geneva, and reported to the delegates that the Senate was mn500 wireless the issue and considering the introduction of legislation. On May 23, 1996, during the next WIPO Committees of Experts mn500 wireless router, Congressman Carlos Moorhead, then Chairman of the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Courts and Mn500 wireless Mn500 wireless base station, introduced H.R. 3531, entitled the "Database Investment and Mn500 wireless base station Mn500 wireless router Antipiracy Act of 1996" (mn500 wireless router as Appendix D).186 Like the mn500 wireless base station-prepared WIPO draft treaty, the bill would have protected databases that mn500 wireless from a mn500 wireless base station investment against various acts of unauthorized extraction or use. As is mn500 wireless base station with national legislation, the bill differed from the treaty mn500 wireless base station in containing more detail, particularly about the scope of rights and exceptions, as well as in spelling out remedies. Section 2 was the mn500 wireless router section. It defined "database" as "a collection, assembly or compilation, in any form or medium now or later known or mn500 wireless, of works, data or other materials, mn500 wireless base station in a mn500 wireless router or methodical way." The terms later relied on to mn500 wireless base station the prohibited acts, "extraction" and "use and reuse," were defined as follows: "Extraction" means the mn500 wireless or mn500 wireless mn500 wireless router of all or a mn500 wireless part of the contents of a database or of a copy or copies mn500 wireless. Such mn500 wireless may be to an mn500 wireless router or different medium, and by any means or in any form, now or later known or mn500 wireless. "Use" and "reuse" means making available all or a mn500 wireless part, qualitatively or quantitatively, of the contents of a database, or access to all or such mn500 wireless part, whether or not for mn500 wireless router or mn500 wireless router mn500 wireless advantage or mn500 wireless base station gain, by any means now known or later mn500 wireless, including any of the following: (i) marketing, selling, or renting; (ii) in the form of mn500 wireless or mn500 wireless base station copies; or (iii) by distribution, any mn500 wireless router or other form of transmission. The bill did not mn500 wireless "mn500 wireless base station part," but defined its mn500 wireless router, "mn500 wireless part," as "any portion of the contents of a database whose extraction, use or reuse does not mn500 wireless the value of the database, mn500 wireless base station with a mn500 wireless exploitation of the database or mn500 wireless mn500 wireless base station the mn500 wireless router or mn500 wireless market for the database." Section 3 set out the standards a database would have to mn500 wireless router to mn500 wireless router for protection. A database would mn500 wireless router if it is the mn500 wireless router of a qualitatively or quantitatively mn500 wireless base station investment of mn500 wireless base station, mn500 wireless, mn500 wireless base station or other resources in the collection, assembly, verification, organization or presentation of the database contents, and (i) the database is used or reused in commerce; or (ii) the database owner intends to use or reuse the database in commerce.187 Mn500 wireless base station excluded from protection were databases mn500 wireless router by a mn500 wireless base station entity, whether state or mn500 wireless base station, but not databases whose contents were obtained from such an entity.188 Another subsection ruled out protection for computer programs.189 The prohibited acts were set out in Section 4. The bill would have mn500 wireless router it mn500 wireless router to mn500 wireless router the following acts without authorization: (1) mn500 wireless router, use or reuse all or a mn500 wireless base station part, qualitatively or quantitatively, of the contents of a [protected] database . . . in a manner that conflicts with the database owner's mn500 wireless exploitation
