The Digital Future Coalition (DFC) was a US-based copyright advocacy organization established in 1995.
The organization emerged from a round table of legal scholars and library associations members convened by Peter Jaszi[1] in fall of 1995 to review the Clinton Administration's White Paper on Intellectual Property and the National Information Infrastructure, authored by Bruce Lehman.
[2][3] That White Paper proposed a variety of new legislative approaches within copyright, generally broadening its scope and reach, and the roundtable discussion brought forward the notion of establishing a lobbying group to counter the commercial copyright interests' lobbying groups.
[4][5] The DFC had at its peak at least 42 institutional members, drawn from library associations, scholarly societies, public interest groups, and IT-related commercial entities.
Membership rosters drawn from public comments and filings, but changed over time.
