Those interviews paint a fairly grim portrait of teachers, unsure about the specifics of fair-use doctrine, cowed into avoiding perfectly valid uses of copyrighted material. katiebda Sat, 27 Oct 2007 23:38:39 +0000 copyright october07 ownership research http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/index.php?id=2475 The Open Content Alliance has corporate sponsors of its own, but it seems to be emerging as an alternative for librarians who aren’t comfortable with the role of corporations in distributing public-domain material. katiebda Wed, 24 Oct 2007 17:39:14 +0000 october07 ownership news google http://www.ugcprinciples.com/index.html Leading commercial copyright owners (“Copyright Owners”) and services providing user-uploaded and user-generated audio and video content (“UGC Services”) have collaborated to establish these Principles to foster an online environment that promotes the promises and benefits of UGC Services and protects the rights of Copyright Owners. katiebda Sat, 20 Oct 2007 04:44:14 +0000 october07 ownership authorship news http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15315098 The writers, represented by the Writers Guild of America, want a bigger share of the profits from DVDs as well as other new-media productions of their work for cell phones and other handheld devices. katiebda Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:49:00 +0000 october07 story ownership hollywood http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/index.php?id=2451 Elizabeth Stark, a student at Harvard Law School, is taking aim at an article in this week’s New York Times about Students for Free Culture, a national group that promotes easing copyright restrictions.

Such sampling had not been easy in the past because Google’s books are displayed as image files rather than as text. Now users can use a new selection tool to identify a favorite clip, and a pop-up window appears offering the text, or Web code that allows a picture of the sample to be pasted into a document or blog. katiebda Fri, 21 Sep 2007 04:37:36 +0000 september07 ownership google http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/index.php?id=2372 Mr. Vaidhyanathan, an associate professor of media studies and law at the University of Virginia, argues that Google’s library-scanning project could cause a copyright catastrophe by casting doubt on fair-use doctrine.

In the United States, however, data from earlier this year has indicated otherwise. According to the 2007 Digital Media Survey, which was published in the UK by Entertainment Media Research and law firm Olswang, unauthorized downloading of music is at its highest level - reversing the slight decline of last year. trustteam Wed, 01 Aug 2007 20:36:05 +0000 authorship ownership copyright http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/22/arts/music/22pare.html?_r=1&ref=arts&oref=slogin A description of the musician Prince's multiplatform approach to the music biz, including how he gave away his latest album in British in conjunction with a newspaper publisher. trustteam Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:08:34 +0000 ownership trends copyright engagement business http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/12/a-sigh-of-relief-for-blockbuster-few-people-copy-dvds/ So some fear that Blockbuster and Netflix are turning into giant free-movie banks as film fanatics rent once and burn for all their friends.

"Our law enforcement resources are seriously misaligned," Cotton said. "If you add up all the various kinds of property crimes in this country, everything from theft, to fraud, to burglary, bank-robbing, all of it, it costs the country $16 billion a year. But intellectual property crime runs to hundreds of billions [of dollars] a year." Cotton's comments come in Paul Sweeting's report on Hollywood's latest shenanigans on Capitol Hill. trustteam Fri, 29 Jun 2007 21:21:22 +0000 authorship ownership copyright
