>Public libraries embody the American ideal that anybody can read, watch or
>listen to just about anything they want to.  With publications and
>broadcasting delivered free by the Internet directly to homes, is the
>information revolution making libraries obsolete?  As more people can access
>this content, the copyright owners -- in many cases large corporate
>publishing entities -- are looking for ways to charge fees.  A growing
>chorus of lawyers, librarians, and educators fear the implications of losing
>free access to information for everyone.  "Our information and communication
>infrastructure is so central to everything we do," says former American
>Library Association president Nancy Kranich.  "But what's really underlying
>that is the free flow of ideas which is essential to democracy."  On Friday,
>January 17, 2003, at 9 P.M., on PBS (check local listings at
>http://www.pbs.org/now/sched.html <http://www.pbs.org/now/sched.html>  , NOW
>with Bill Moyers takes a look into the digital future of intellectual
>property and the debate that has pitted private control against the public
>domain.
