Description

In “Proceed With Caution: How Digital Archives Have Been Left In The Dark,” Alyssa N. Knutson covers issues of legality on the subject of copyright within digital preservation. Described by Knutson as a “legal limbo,” digital archives teeter on the edge of fair use. Knutson uses the case of Internet Archive v. Suzanne Shell from the mid-2000s to inform readers of the many legal issues of digital archiving. Knutson is adamant on the need for a change in policies by Congress to give more freedom to archivists as they attribute to a storage of the history.
