acts that are part of the license. In the present case, those are essentially all the acts protected by copyright. The author remains the copyright owner, but it’s only a kind of symbolic ownership, as she loses all effective control in her work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

tells that anybody can do it. Furthermore, the agreement apparently grants the author some permissions (in the “Further information” section), but these are more restrictive than what the CC license (especially CC BY) allows anyone to do. For instance, anyone
can modify a CC BY article and sell the resulting work, for any purpose, but the author is forbidden to do that according to the “Educational use” clause.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">This thread, started by Lucie Burgess of Oxford University, seems to be a good place to gain a better understanding of the “<a href="http://www.oxfordjournals.org/en/oxford-open/index.html">Oxford
Open</a>” initiative of Oxford University Press (OUP). Starting in 2015, OUP became the publisher of the journals of the Entomological Society of America (ESA). These included ESA’s four peer-reviewed subscription journals that date back to 1908, 1908, 1968,
and 1972. Prospective authors of these four journals who want OA are now informed that they will be granted copyrights to their articles but will be required to sign
<a href="http://entnemdept.ifas.ufl.edu/walker/OUP_License_to_Publish.pdf">OUP’s License to Publish</a> immediately afterward. At the time they are granted their copyrights they must choose one of three CC licenses. On
<a href="https://aesa.oxfordjournals.org/for_authors/charges-licenses-and-self-archiving.html">
the web page</a> where prospective authors might learn about the implications of choosing among the three licenses, the three licenses are listed (CC-BY , CC-BY-NC , CC-BY-NC-ND) and their prices given (either of the last two costs $500 less than the first).
Authors learn nothing about why some authors might choose to buy the more expensive license or what benefits they might lose if they choose one of the two that cost less. In email exchanges, ESA’s Director of Publications suggested that, from an author’s
viewpoint, there were no significant differences among the licenses but did indicate that most authors bought the cheaper ones.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">'So the moral is that University libraries do not fight to preserve the public domain or CC-BY*. In a sad extension of this many libraries (including
the British Library - whom I FOI'ed) will take the easy way and apply charges for everything because it is too difficult to determine whether anything is in the public domain or CC-BY*. Thus the BL charges people to read my Open Access papers online, and 120-year
old chemical publications are regarded as belonging to the journal (and hence chargeable) because they can't prove the authors are dead.</span></i><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">’</span></i><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">In my experience, it is really not the case that University libraries do not fight to preserve the public domain. Our readers understandably demand
online access to materials which they can otherwise only see by visiting a reading room. We respond to this by digitising the materials to make them digitally available. Unfortunately, digitisation is expensive, and the fact is, that library budgets are under
pressure everywhere. One way in which libraries have responded to reader demands for online access, is by signing time-limited, non-exclusive deals with commercial publishers in which the publishers invest in digitisation (at no cost, or very low cost to the
library) and a licence is signed with the publisher to provide commercial access to the content. Therefore online access is charged for to the end-user, for a limited period of time, to enable the publisher to re-coup their investment and make a return (which
is necessary otherwise they would not be incentivised to invest). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">It is not the case that the access is put behind a paywall because rights can’t be cleared. Quite the opposite, substantial time and due diligence
is carried out to ensure that the copyright status of the underlying content can be clarified before digitisation takes place so that the rights of the underlying rights holder are not infringed, if indeed the material is in copyright. After a period of time,
usually 10-15 years, the digitised materials are then made freely available for all under an open licence, again usually CC-BY or CC-0. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Without such innovative commercial agreements, libraries would not be able to afford the costs of investment in digitisation and their collections
would remain in analogue form, for only those with a reader’s card to use, in a reading room in the library. I do understand that this is contentious to some, but in my experience such commercial agreements enable huge collections to be digitised which otherwise
would be restricted by their physical nature, and then after a period of time the public domain is preserved.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">One such example is the Bodleian Libraries’ EEBO-TCP (Early English Books Text Creation Partnership) digitisation and transcription project with
Proquest, in which the first 25,000 transcribed texts have recently been released into the public domain: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">In this case the underlying analogue texts were very clearly in the public domain to begin with, so due diligence of the copyright status was not
necessary, but the investment required to digitise the entire corpus would have been £millions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

CC-BY rights statements opened my eyes to a part of OUP/ESA’s business plan I had missed—the use of time-stamped PDFs to make money from students of the teachers who use study packs that include articles by ESA authors in any of ESA’s four principal journals.
OUP has slapped time stamps and notices of an ESA copyright on all articles in the four journals going back to 1908 for Ann. Ent. Soc. Amer. and J. Econ. Ent, and to 1972 and 1965 for J. Med. Ent. and Envir. Ent.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyfraud">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyfraud</a> gives a good overview. It's a "victimless crime" for Universities and their libraries, because the victims are not the Universities but hoi polloi outside the ivory

sale at 60 USD. This included all my publications in BioMedCentral, a CC-BY Open Access journal. I raised this on my blog as "Springergate", see

However Wikimedia cared greatly, because their CC-BY-SA images had also been universally stamped as Springer property. They made a considerable fuss, rightly (explore the blog).<br>

this many libraries (including the British Library - whom I FOI'ed) will take the easy way and apply charges for everything because it is too difficult to determine whether anything is in the public domain or CC-BY*. Thus the BL charges people to read my Open
Access papers online, and 120-year old chemical publications are regarded as belonging to the journal (and hence chargeable) because they can't prove the authors are dead.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
