LEGAL

Different laws act differently!

Point of view matters

• Archive – material

• Museum – artifact

• Library – content+meta

• Gallery – exhibition piece

• TV station – Use DVD

• Law maker – No idea?

• Tax payers – We’re paying for that?!

Do you want to hear a story?

A thriller about the library, an archive, and one bankruptcy…

Laws playing a role in the story

• Law of Cultural Material (1994)

• Law of Archival Material (1998)

• Law of Culture (2009)

• Law of Bankruptcy (2009)

• Law of Library and Information (2011)
