Authorship Seminar: Intellectual Property Basics
0 likes516 views
The document discusses copyright law and its history and purposes. It covers the Statute of Anne, the first copyright law from 1710, which aimed to encourage learning. It then covers developments in U.S. copyright law over time, including the Constitution giving Congress power to enact copyright law, and various Copyright Acts that expanded protections. Key concepts of fair use, public domain, and international treaties like the Berne Convention are summarized.

Who benefits from copyright law?
What is the purpose of publishing work/
making it public?
What is a work worth if the general public
cannot access it?
[And what is the purpose of protecting it?]

- 10. Jess: I’ve been coming back to this idea throughout the week as I think about my own project with community work, where populations or individuals are often not deemed authors, or at least not Authors. And their work goes unacknowledged because they lack the access or agency to publish and/or to be heard so that they can even act in the capacity of an author. ...I keep thinking about how the cultural status of an author (as it relates to copyright laws) first acknowledges that an author exists. I guess I’m wondering if copyright laws do/can protect people in this situation, people who perhaps aren’t necessarily typical authors wanting to protect their work but still write and invent texts?
