Abstract

In the nominally “Communist” country of China, it seems people do not live any closer to the utopia of “cyber-communism” than anywhere else in the world. Just as in other areas of the world, Chinese people are affected by the issue of copyright when sharing information resources. Copyright owners have coexisted with libraries for a long time; but the digital environment has broken this harmony. Copyright owners are now doing everything possible to protect their own products, directly affecting the library community, which considers itself as protecting the public interest. The principal conflict of library resources construction has shifted from the traditional conflict of preservation and use to the conflict of copyright protection and information sharing. In order to solve those copyright infringement problems, China’s digital libraries are all seeking effective solutions. The standpoints of the Chinese library community on digital rights are also introduced in this chapter.
