There is information on the role of the Internet in the aforementioned 
CLIR document 135.

The restored document would potentially have two sets of rights: to the 
underlying material and to the restoration. (Under what circumstances 
the restoration starts the clock anew is an interesting but undecided 
issue as far as I've been able to determine.) The license(s) would 
specify the form(s) in which the result may be offered: on CD-DA, 
CD-ROM, broadcast, webcast and variants.
