They also seem to initially be specifically focused on "online serials" meaning scientific/academic journals released periodically, numbered, and sequenced. It specifically says blogs and databases are excluded because their content changes daily. Sounds like newspapers would fall under similar exclusions. There is no mention of electronic books or a completed law. |
Unless you distribute your ebook on CD or other physical media, why wouldn't they be counted under the Feb, 2010 exemption for "Published Electronic Works Available Only Online" cited
here?
What is an e-book if not a published electronic work?
