Brandon Butler has published "Copyfraud and Classroom Performance Rights: Two Common Bogus Copyright Claims" in the latest issue of Research Library Issues.

Here's an excerpt:

Negotiating copyright law can be challenging even when basic facts are not in doubt. It becomes unnecessarily difficult when publishers, distributors, and even some libraries misrepresent basic facts: which works are under copyright, and which rights a library must purchase to support teaching and learning. Unfortunately such misrepresentations are widespread. This article will describe two common misrepresentations about copyright law: "copyfraud" and "public performance rights" for classroom uses.
