Databases, downloading and proprietary rights

Abstract

Downloading as a means of capturing data sent to a computer from another computer and storing it on local magnetic disk has become an important auxiliary technique in both data processing and online information searching. It has also become a controversial issue within the information industry, raising economic and legal problems for database producers and end‐users alike.
