Editor's Notes
- #2: Hello my name is and your instructor invited me here today to talk about 2 things: the basics of copyright and afterward answers about being a student in the SJSU SLIS.I’ll spend several minutes with a slide show presentation on copyright issues and if you have Internet available at your stations I’d like to let you experiment with one of the sites I mention in the presentation.Since I am not a lawyer or a copyright specialist, I’m not qualified to field specific questions about copyright, but I may be able to get back to you with hints on getting the right answer.I am an expert at being a library science student, so I’ll take any and all questions on this. Ok, shall we get started?
- #3: Basis of copyright law today:Copyright was considered so important to the progress of the country that it was stated explicitly on the first page of the United States Constitution!The specific clause is Clause 8, section 1: “To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for a limited time to authors and inventors the exclusive rights to their respective writings and discoveries;”Like many statements in our Constitution, it is open in part to interpretation. For instance, ‘rights’ are exclusive for a limited time, but exactly for how long has changed several times in legislation passed over the last 200 years. I’d also like to point out that the founders recognized that ensuring creators’ rights and profits would stimulate creativity, which they considered vital for a democratic nation.
- #4: So, what do these exclusive rights protect?Broad definition: Copyright is automatic for intellectual property the moment it is in a fixed format; as soon as it is written or recorded. Web content, Articles, Published Reports, Photos, Music, Film, Software, Books, Architecture, Drama, Choreography(Basically, everything and anything that libraries collect).The copyright symbol is not required, though it is a good idea for authors to remind readers or listeners of the creator’s copyright.
