Welcome to the website of the Creators' Copyright Coalition. We at the CCC are committed to access to our creative works just as we are committed to copyright: we work for copyright legislation that ensures both. Here on our op-ed pages we will be posting opinion, commentary, links, and news of interest to creators and others engaged in copyright reform. Elsewhere, you'll find our archive of studies, handbooks and press releases. And while we're not currently hosting a discussion forum, comments sent to us may be posted or noted here (unless you ask us not to).
Now that Google has reached an agreement in which rightsholders will be paid for use of their work on Google’s bookscanning project, Harvard has decided it will not make copyright works in its library available for copying. Just doesn’t wanna run the risk of having to pay for other people’s work. Fortunately Google will have other sources of books to scan.
