Deposit, Registration and Recordation in an Electronic Copyright Mangement System
Overview This document proposes the development of a testbed for deposit, registration and recordation of copyright material in a computer network environment. The testbed will involve the Library of Congress and provide for electronic deposit of information in any of several standard formats, automated submission of claims to copyright, notification of registration and support for on-line clearance of rights in an interactive network. "Digital signatures" and "privacy enhanced mail" will be used for registration and transfer of exclusive rights and other copyright related documents. Electronic mail will be used for licensing of non-exclusive rights with or without recordation. Verification and authentication of deposits can be carried out within the testbed using the original digital signatures. A system of distributed redundant "Repositories" is assumed to hold user deposits of electronic information. The testbed provides an experimental platform for concept development and evaluation, a working prototype for system implementation and a basis for subsequent deployment, if desired.
