(Fair use cont. from page 24) and to the development of an information in­ frastructure that serves the public interest. A long-standing principle is that copyright exists for the public good. The benefits of the new technologies should flow to the public as well as to copyright proprietors. As more infor­ mation becomes available only in electronic formats, the public’s legitimate right to use copy­ righted material must be protected. In order for copyright truly to serve its purpose of “pro­ moting progress,” the public’s right of fair use must continue in the electronic era, and these lawful uses of copyrighted works must be al­ lowed without individual transaction fees. Without infringing copyright, the public has a right to expect: • to read, listen to, or view publicly mar­ keted copyrighted material privately, on site, or remotely; • to browse through publicly marketed copyrighted material; • to experiment with variations of copy­ righted material for fair use purposes, while preserving the integrity of the original; • to make a first generation copy for per­ sonal use of an article or other small part of a publicly marketed copyrighted work or a work in a library’s collection for such purpose as study, scholarship, or research; and • to make transitory copies if ephemeral or incidental to a lawful use and if retained only temporarily.
