>Fourteen scholarly and educational groups, including the American Council on
>Education, the American Library Association and the National Humanities
>Alliance, have issued a statement formally announcing their opposition to
>the proposals recently developed by the Conference on Fair Use. The
>Conference adjourned in May for at least a year, with participants
>acknowledging the lack of consensus among the academic organizations,
>publishers, software developers, and music and video producers that took
>part. The dissenting groups pledged their efforts to ensure that fair use
>rights would continue to apply to educational and scholarly uses of
>copyrighted material on computer networks and in other digital formats.
