I highly recommend the following paper!Title:  Unpublished Materials, New Technologies, and Copyright: Facilitating Scholarly UseAuthors:  Hirtle, Peter B.Keywords:  manuscripts copyright archivesIssue Date:  2001Publisher:  Copyright Society of the USACitation:  Journal of the Copyright Society of the USA 49:1 (Fall, 2001)Abstract:  The paper is divided into three parts. The first part explores why, at least with regard to the use of unpublished materials, current interpretations of copyright law have become an impediment to creative endeavors rather than an encouragement to them. Two factors are at work. The first factor is that copyright law imposes on unpublished materials a set of rules and viewpoints meant to govern published material.
