Abstract:
The article investigates and reveals the peculiarities of the free use of works by electronic libraries, observing the norms of copyright. The terms "fair use" and "fair dealing" are explored. The author considers and analyzes the case Authors Guild v. Google, Inc. Guild of US authors against Google, which trial lasted for eleven years. Also, we reviewed the Canadian Law "P‐11", 2012, and the French Law "On Inaccessible 20th Century Books", 2012. The article concludes that taking into account technical, technological and informational progress, modern young people from all readers are more likely to work with digital content. Sevens are a part of the rational reformists, which increase the power of the industry so that they tend to favor the development of culture.
