Electrifying Copyright Norms And Making Cyberspace More Like A Book, Ann Bartow
Electrifying Copyright Norms And Making Cyberspace More Like A Book, Ann Bartow
Ann Bartow
The first half of this Article charts the evolving but eminently ascertainable social norms of the use of analog copyrighted works by individuals, and characterizes these norms as "what is" in real space and "what ought to be" in cyberspace. The Author argues that while "what is" in the analog world may be imperfect, uncertain and unsatisfactory at times, it represents a discernible practical equilibrium upon which copyright holders' ability to control and extract income from their works is balanced against the rights of fair users. Authors, content distributors and users all make decisions within a familiar longstanding copyright framework, …

Libraries In A Digital And Aggressively Copyrighted World: Retaining Patron Access Through Changing Technologies, Ann Bartow
Ann Bartow
This essay asks the reader to consider the effects that copyright laws and policies, when filtered through the digital prism and bundled with restrictive contract terms, will have on library patrons.

Our Data, Ourselves: Privacy, Propertization, And Gender , Ann Bartow
Ann Bartow
This Article starts by providing an overview of the types of personal data that is collected via the Internet, and the ways in which this information is used. The author asserts that because women are more likely to shop and share information in cyberspace, the impact of commodification of personal data disproportionately impacts females, enabling them to be "targeted" by marketing campaigns, and stripping them of personal privacy. The author then surveys the legal terrain of personal information privacy, and concludes that it is unlikely that the government will step in to provide consumers with substantive privacy rights or protections. …
Educational Fair Use In Copyright: Reclaiming The Right To Photocopy Freely, Ann Bartow
Educational Fair Use In Copyright: Reclaiming The Right To Photocopy Freely, Ann Bartow
Ann Bartow
Copyright owners who are affirmatively engaged in diminishing the scope of educational fair use are overwhelmingly publishers, rather than authors. These publishers attack educational fair use in several different, somewhat internally inconsistent ways. First, they argue that fair use reduces the profitability of their publications, and thereby reduces monetary incentives to undertake the publication of new works. In this way they characterize educational fair use as a threat to the creation and dissemination of future works of scholarship, rather than an escape valve through which current knowledge embodied in prohibitively expensive books and periodicals can leak to the impoverished.
