		UCITA represents a shift in power between copyright law and contract/license law that would endanger the balanced set of copyright law principles and privileges under which the library community currently operates--such as fair use, preservation, and the unhindered use of works in the public domain.
		UCITA would create new layers of costly procedures for libraries as more time and money would be needed to educate library staff, negotiate licenses, track use of materials, and investigate the status of materials donated to libraries.
		UCITA would enable software companies and other information product providers to require that consumers bring all claims against the software company in a state of the software company's own choosing and that may be far from where the consumer lives.

	The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		UCITA is intended to create uniform state law governing software licenses and Internet access contracts, among other things.
		Patterned in part on existing commercial statutes (notably, Articles 2 and 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code), it departs from these laws substantively because of differences in underlying property rights and the wide range of trade practices that have developed during the relatively brief Age of Information.
		As commercial legislation, UCITA works primarily in the background, establishing a series of default rules that will apply in the absence of an agreement to the contrary.
