RE: Permitted Use Clause

["Doyle, MaryP" <MaryP.Doyle@agriculture.gov.ie>]

Has anyone any idea how the organisation would monitor and/or control what
copies the authorised users were making?  How would it be possible to
administer such an undertaking?  How would the potential cost liabilities
be controlled if all authorised have access to the product to do their own
copying?  It is unlikely that the individual users will pay any copyright
clearance fees required, unless the library (which has signed the licence)
has some way of monitoring what is being copied and enforcing the
requirement to pay the necessary fees.

Subject: Permitted Use Clause

I am taking a more active role in processing licenses for electronic
resources at my institution and came across a clause under "Permitted Use"
that I had not seen before. I'm wondering if any of you with more
experience have encountered this clause before:

"Licensee and Authorized Users may make a printed copy of individual
articles for internal or personal uses provided the appropriate fees are
paid to the Copyright Clearance Center."

The clause is from a license for the electronic content of the Society of
Applied Spectroscopy's journal Applied Spectroscopy.  The contact over at
SAS says that we will not be getting additional bills to be paid to the
Copyright Clearance Center even if our users make hundreds of copies, but
says that their lawyers insist that the phrase not be crossed out.

Anyone have any history with this clause?
