Apart from restricting or blocking access altogether, DRMs have serious implications for archives and libraries (legal deposit libraries in particular). DRMs embedded in works have the capacity to override fair use/fair dealing and copyright exceptions, block "text-to-speech" software for blind persons and restrict or prevent legitimate library
functions from being carried out. Archivists and librarians need to be aware of this when purchasing or acquiring digital works. Without the 'key' to unlock restrictive DRMs, access to valuable collections and cultural heritage could be lost to future generations!
