Mitch Kapor "If creativity is the field, copyright is the fence". John Oswald Copyright is in crisis. Photocopying, sound- and video-recording, computers, and the net have all made it increasingly difficult for the owners of copyright to enforce their rights. Levies or legal penalties only patch the holes in an already leaky system. The flaw lies not in the technology or in our society, but in the very notion of copyright. Intellectual "property" does not behave like material property. If I give you a physical object I may no longer have use or control of that thing, and may ask for something in return -- some payment or barter. But when I give you an idea, I lose nothing. I can still use that idea as I wish.

Copyright 1996 by David Loundy The concept is really not difficult to understand. If you are going to use a work, you must obtain the necessary rights to use a work in the manner in which you intend to use it. This is not a new issue, but lately it has created quite a bit of new debate, which is a result of the tremendous increase in the use of copyrighted works in electronic form. The law is clear. In Section 106 of the Copyright Act ( 17 U.S.C. 106 ), a copyright holder is given the exclusive right to make and distribute copies of his or her work, or to a Read More Go to Site Copyright - Wex Votes:0 skip navigation Search Law School Search Cornell LII / Legal Information Institute home search sitemap donate Wex Main Page | Law about... articles | Definitions | Become an author | FAQ Categories : Intellectual Property | Overview Printable version | Disclaimers Copyright From Wex, everyone's resource for law learning Table of contents 1 copyright: an overview 2 menu of sources 2.1 Federal Material 2.1.1 Federal Constitution and Statutes 2.1.2 Federal Agency Regulations 2.1.3 Federal Judicial Decisions 2.2 International Material 2.2.1 Conventions and Treaties 2.3 Other References 2.3.1 Key Internet Sources 2.3.2 Useful Offnet (or Subscription - $) Sources 3 other topics copyright: an overview The U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101 - 810 , is Federal legislation enacted by Congress unde Read More Go to Site COPYRIGHT ACT 1968 Votes:0 Commonwealth Consolidated Acts [ Index ] [ Table ] [ Search ] [ Search this Act ] [ Notes ] [ Noteup ] [ Download ] [ Help ] COPYRIGHT ACT 1968 TABLE OF PROVISIONS PART I--PRELIMINARY 1 .

In the civil courts, defamation claims date back at least as far as the sixteenth century. The law governing liability for defamation has adapted to the advent of the telegraph, telephone, radio, motion pictures, and television -- and is quickly adapting to the computer. In many respects, the medium is irrelevant to the cause of action. After all, a falsehood is still a falsehood regardless of how or where it is published. However, every medium has idiosyncracies that influence the potential for liability. Above all, in the wake of New York Times v. Sullivan and the cases Read More Go to Site EFF: Blue Ribbon Campaign Votes:0 ? About Our Work Deeplinks Blog Press Room Take Action Join EFF Home » Blue Ribbon Help Us Protect Free Speech Online!

The most well known of these limitations is "fair use". However, the Copyright statute itself sets forth over ten separate limitations on copyright law. Because of the limited applicability of some of these limitations, the discussion on copyright limitations in BitLaw has been limited to the following three topics: Fair Use Fair Use in the Copyright Act , Fair Use Example , and Other Fair Use Examples ; The First Amendment ; and Compulsory Licenses .

" Basing his arguments on the moral relevance of art, Kristol says bluntly: "If you care for the quality of life in our American democracy, then you have to be for censorship." Being frustrated is disagreeable, but the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want. For almost a century now, a great many intelligent, well-meaning and articulate people have argued eloquently against any kind of censorship of art and entertainment.

Over the last two years I have observed numerous developments, listened to many conversations and queries, and reviewed countless licenses that, individually, usually evoked the same response from me: "But that's fair use!" or "What about fair use?" or some variation on that response. Collectively, however, these events and developments caused me to begin to question my assumptions about the role of and need for fair use in the electronic environment. Read More Go to Site
