The problems that the rapid development of digital information and the Internet are causing for copyright are being solved in three directions: legal, technological and contractual. The protection given to copyrighted works by technological means complements the conditions of use established in the licences; moreover, both types of protection are backed up by the new laws arising for adaptation to the current technological context. As a result of this triple protection, we are risking the limitations to copyright acknowledged by copyright laws in the benefit of libraries, library users and citizens in general, giving way to a dangerous privatization of access to information.
