Copyright vs copy share
- 1. Copyright vs. Copy Sharing EDTC 603: Web Development Research Project 6.1 Betty Hustead February 15, 2011
- 2. History of Copyright • First federal copyright law created May, 1790 • Claims recorded by U.S. district courts • Library of Congress centralized copyright functions – in 1870 – Librarian Ainsworth Rand Spofford oversaw copyright functions – Copyright department created in 1897 – Thorvald Solberg first Register of Copyrights
- 3. Important Dates in the History of Copyright • February 3, 1831 – Music added to protection, Term of protection moved to 28 years from 14 years. • August 18, 1856 – Dramatic compostions added to protection • March 3, 1865 – Photographs and negatives added to protection • July 8, 1870 – Art added to protection and indexing started • August 24, 1912 – Motion pictures added to protection • January 1, 1978 – term of protection consists of the life of the author plus 50 years.
- 4.

- 5. Current Copyright • Copyright office employs 475 people • Half a million copyright claims per year • Since 1870, registered 33,654,000 copyright claims • July 1, 2008 – electronic registration made available to the public (http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1a.html#, 2011)
- 6. Copyright • Purpose: To promote creativity, innovation, and the spread of knowledge while considering the rights of the owners and the rights of the users. • From the creator’s point of view, copyright laws are designed to protect the creator’s work. No one else can sell their work. • Artistic productions and paperwork remain the property of the creator.
- 7. Copyright and the Internet The internet has drastically changed how people think about copyright. *most students feel internet information is all free and available to use * reality is, nearly everything on the Net is protected by copyright law
- 8. Copyright and Art • http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/04/ap-accuses-shepard-fairey_n_164045.html • Copyright infringement? Fair use? Share?
- 9. Copyright and Art • If the artist puts their work on the internet, is it fair game for people to use? • If the artist puts their work on a shared service, creative commons for example, is it fair game to use? • If a person changes an artist’s original work but it is still recognizable, is it still the artist’s property? • If the original work is no longer recognizable is it the original artist’s property or the new artist’s property? • If the artist is deceased, who owns the art? (Public, museum, family, ?)
- 10. Fair Use (from copyright law) • According to the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy... Teachers can: 1. make copies of newspaper articles, TV shows, and other copyrighted works and use them and keep them for educational use 2. create curriculum materials and scholarship with copyrighted materials embedded 3. share, sell and distribute curriculum materials with copyrighted materials embedded (http://copyrightconfusion.wikispaces.com/, 2011)
- 11. Section 107's four-factor fair use test... (American Library Association, 2011) • The character of the use (education purposes) • The nature of the work to be used (character of the materials) • The amount used (of the original work) • The effect of the use on the market for or value of the work (access during class only)
- 12. What needs to be evaluated Did the unlicensed use “transform” the material taken from the copyrighted work by using it for a different purpose than that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for the same intent and value as the original? Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use?
- 13. Copy Sharing Creative needs and practices change within the field of use, with ever changing technology, and with the amount of time. New technology makes it easy to distribute, recreate, share, and duplicate owner’s work. Copy share allows repurposing the original work into a new product, not duplicating for profit.
- 14. Copy Share Licenses • Creative Commons licenses provide simple, standardized alternatives to the “all rights reserved” paradigm of traditional copyright. Creative Commons Mission • Creative Commons develops, supports, and stewards legal and technical infrastructure that maximizes digital creativity, sharing, and innovation.
- 15. Future Issues • When copyright was created, the purpose and process was effective. With the emergence of the Internet, normal every day tasks would be considered copyright issues, such as copy, paste, and post to the web. • The copyright law requires permission for all of these actions no matter who you are or how you are using the material. • This process needs to change along with the times.
- 16. Fair Use Limitations • Currently no fair use guidelines for latest digital technologies • Publishers retain the right to work produced for their company (author not protected) • Creative commons licenses restricted by publishers • Teachers are expected to educate students on appropriate copyright standard uses.
- 17. Opinion • After researching copyright vs. copy sharing, I feel the law needs to evolve with the advanced technologies that are now available. • I do feel the government has tried to keep up with the changes they have made to the law, but it is impossible to make laws as fast as technology changes. • The Fair Use portion of the law is open enough, that it does work fairly well.
- 18. Opinion continued • Creative Commons was created in 2001 and has effectively created copyright licenses for free through the Center for the Public Domain. • They have worked to create a global infrastructure for sharing public domain tools, technologies, and more. • In order to allow creative processes to flourish, people need to be able to bounce ideas and new information off each other. This is the way of the future.
- 19. Can’t We All Just Get Along? • Both copyright and copy share should coexist because they both serve a different purpose. • For creators who want to share their work with the world for free or with limited copyright, they can choose a copy share or creative commons license. • For creators who want to maintain all copyright privileges, they can choose to keep the traditional copyright.
- 20. Conclusion There was a time for just the copyright law of the U.S. Library of Congress. Now, is the time for an additional option, sharing works. In order for this to work, people still need to follow the: Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Four Factors Fair Use Test tools and licensing available on Creative Commons.
- 21. Conclusion continued As teachers, the creative commons and fair use section of the copyright law are the best options. Educators do not have the money or time to create their own, when showing examples of work for understanding and sharing what is available makes more sense.
