There is a provision in US copyright law that allows the "fair use" of copyrighted material, without permission, for certain purposes (scholarship, criticism, review, etc)

However US Copyright Law also sets out criteria that has to be considered before something can be judged to be "fair use"

# The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes # The nature of the copyrighted work # The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole # The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work

What is the main copyright issue in a medical library?

Back in the day, the main issue would be how much of a journal can be copied, and in how many copies. Current issues have to do with electronic delivery, either from the journal to the institution, or from the institution to users, particularly distance users. The same rightsholders who would acknowledge that photocopying and mailing a single copy of a single article would be defensible under fair use would not allow the digital equivalent. Librarians must be aware of the licenses offered with electronically delivered materials, and be as vigilant as the rightsholders themselves when it comes to looking out for infringing acts.

The copyright paragraph states that no one can copy this article or work without the express permission of the author.

No. Unless things have changed, the most accepted form of not breaking copyright with printed material is that up to 1 third of the material may be copied for reference purposes. Any more then that is breach of copyright. Why do you think it's called "Copyright" if any one is allowed to copy it entirely? The "right" to copy it remains with the copyright holder.

Is downloading a song from a website without paying for it a copyright infringement?

Only if the copy you're copying was not authorized for general distribution by the copyright owners. In other words, the copyright owners can certainly authorize free distribution of their music if they want to. However, if you make a download (a reproduction) of an unauthorized copy, then your copy (like the one you copied) is a copyright infringement because you have no permission to make that copy.
