Through the pandemic, controlled digital lending (CDL) emerged as a legal lifeline for libraries seeking to provide access to their collections remotely. Since then, in both the US and Canada, CDL has continued to drive innovation in library access. Dave Hansen, Executive Director of Authors Alliance and co-author of the US position statement and legal white paper on controlled digital lending, will explain the most recent developments in the pivotal Hachette v. Internet Archive fair use case and offer points of comparison and contrast with CDL under fair dealing in Canada.
