Imagining the Future of the Copyright Office | Copyright and Technology

The U.S. Copyright Office sits within the Library of Congress. It uses the Library’s IT infrastructure and is subject to the Library’s budget process, and the decisions it makes are subject to the Librarian of Congress’s approval, although that’s usually a rubber stamp. When James Billington retired as Librarian of Congress last September, many viewed it as a long-overdue opportunity to modernize the Copyright Office for the digital age. Now copyright stakeholders are allowing themselves to imagine what a future Copyright Office might be and do for the American copyright system.
