>Public libraries embody the American ideal that anybody can read,
>watch or listen to just about anything they want to. With
>publications and broadcasting delivered free by the Internet
>directly to homes, is the information revolution making libraries
>obsolete? As more people can access this content, the copyright
>owners -- in many cases large corporate publishing entities -- are
>looking for ways to charge fees. A growing chorus of lawyers,
>librarians, and educators fear the implications of losing free
>access to information for everyone. Appearing on the program are
>Nancy Kranich, Siva Vaidhyanathan, Patricia Schroeder, and Jack
>Valenti.

>On Friday, January 17, 2003, at 9 P.M., on PBS (check local listings

>NOW with Bill Moyers takes a look into the digital future of
>intellectual property and the debate that has pitted private control
>against the public domain.
