Download this book
Book Description: This zine explores novel legal theories to assist librarians and their allies in combating exploitative ebook practices, such as fair-use restrictions, surveillance, and lack of accessibility. This zine presents new theories for addressing these issues, and making ebook lending equitable, ethical, and effective. These theories are presented as a progression from individual actions (negotiating contracts and utilizing 17 U.S.C. §108(e)) to broader constitutional activism.
