[Web4lib] Libraries, OCA, Google make first page of the NYT

[Karen Coyle]

 From what I heard (when this was discussed the next day) was that they 
haven't entirely figured out what to do about the copyright issue, but 
they are definitely NOT likely to impose actual DRM on the files. There 
was something said about including a notice, something like the "Xerox 
machine" notice, that alerts users to the fact that the item may be 
under copyright. I also may have heard (or I could be mixing things up) 
that they'll focus on out-of-print items. This makes me think that it'll 
  run into the "orphan works" issue, which has been much discussed but 
not resoled.
