Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, everyone, for coming today.
My first line of questioning will be for Ms. Bourne-Tyson at the libraries. I'm sure the publishers appreciate the work the libraries do, especially when they purchase copies. I think that's an essential part of the market.
In our current age, we're not back in the day when photocopiers were thousands of dollars, and only public institutions could afford them and monitor them. We have personal scanners, we have digital scanners, personal photocopiers, and we know these things are readily acceptable.
How are you able as an institution to regulate copyright infringement? For example, if I were to go to your library, and take a book out, and go to my own home, and scan a copy or photocopy something digitally or in hard copy, would you be able to prevent me from infringing on copyright?
