Available

The Section 108 study group is a group of independent experts that 
was convened under the auspices of the Library of Congress to look at 
specific changes that might be needed in the copyright law to balance 
the positions of rights holders and cultural memory organizations 
such as libraries and archives in the digital world.

The report of the group is now available; both the full report and an 
executive summary are linked from the group's page at:

http://www.section108.gov/

There is also a press release from the Library of Congress concerning 
the release at:
