The Copyright Alliance sent a letter to President Trump on February 18 expressing concerns with an Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) proposal that would strip authors and publishers of their copyrights. Specifically, the letter is in response to a proposed policy that would eviscerate the copyrights of journal publishers throughout the country by requiring them to make peer-reviewed articles that report on federally funded scientific research freely available to the public immediately upon publication. Among other things, the letter explains that peer-reviewed journal articles are worthy of copyright protection and that the proposed policy represents a significant regulatory intervention in the private marketplace that already gives copyright owners only one year to commercialize their works. Ultimately, the letter warns that adopting the proposed policy would do significant damage to established markets and the U.S. economy.
