Bill C-61 in laymans terms: Archives

Fifth topic of bill C-61, Archives

This part concerns libraries, museums and archives.

According to Bill C-61,
They are allowed to:
  • Make a digital copy of a printed work(Clause 20, section 30.2, subsection 5)
They must:
  • Prevent any reproduction of the digital copy (Clause 20, section 30.2, subsection 5, paragraph a)
  • Prevent any communication of the digital copy (Clause 20, section 30.2, subsection 5, paragraph b)
  • Prevent using the digital copy for more than 5 days (Clause 20, section 30.2, subsection 5, paragraph c)
My own thoughts:
I wonder how you are supposed to enforce that.
