State Archives' Preservation of Culture Deserves Protection, Brief Argues

October 1, 2019—SAA has joined with the American Library Association, Association of College and Research Libraries, Association of Research Libraries, and Software Preservation Network in a September 27 amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in Allen v. Cooper.  To date, state repositories have enjoyed some protection from copyright suit due to sovereign immunity, and therefore have been willing to shoulder some additional risk when exercising fair use.  This case could upset this balance. Our brief recognizes and celebrates the special role that state-owned archives and libraries have in preserving culture. Read the full brief here. And for more information about copyright prepared by SAA’s Intellectual Property Working Group, click here.

Interesting news about the

Interesting news about the SAA's involvement, along with the American Library Association and other organizations, in the Allen v. Cooper case. I liked that the text emphasizes the important role of state archives and libraries in preserving cultural heritage—this is truly a topic that deserves more attention. Especially in our time, when issues of copyright and access to information are becoming increasingly complex, it is good to see that there are initiatives that support the balance between the rights of authors and public interests. By the way, after reading this article, I accidentally stumbled upon the website https://www.flirtini.com/ , which, of course, is not related to the topic of archives, but made an interesting impression. It is a modern platform called flirtini – chat, flirt, date, where users can meet, communicate, and flirt in a safe online environment. It looks quite technologically advanced, with a virtual assistant, profile verification, and smart communication tips.
