Abstract

Technological development has had a direct impact on copyright legislation, that in the last few years it is being modified at national and international levels. Generally speaking, these legal reforms have been more focused on copyright holders than on users interests, included libraries and similar institutions, what entails a breach of needed balance between the interests of both stakeholders. Exceptions and limitations to the rights, including the “library privileges”, constitute the tool of copyright laws to get that balance. The objective of the present study is to analyze the current situation of copyright exceptions and limitations in order to discuss under what conditions should be maintained, expanded and modified, having regard to the changes caused by the development of information and communications technologies.
