Access Copyright & Technology: Legal And Policy Issues In Education, Lisa Di Valentino 2013 The University of Western Ontario

Access Copyright & Technology: Legal And Policy Issues In Education, Lisa Di Valentino

FIMS Presentations

Access Copyright is a collective organization representing the
copyright interests of publishers and creators. The collective offers
copyright licences that allow certain limited uses of works in the
collective's repertoire. The use of collective licences as part of
copyright management policy was common in post-secondary education
administration until 2010, when many universities opted out of a
contractual relationship with Access Copyright.

The growing movement towards online open access publishing and
Creative Commons public licensing has made information more widely
available without requiring payment and with fewer restrictions on
use. The addition of education to the list of fair dealing purposes …

Copyright 1992-2012: The Most Significant Development?, Jane C. Ginsburg

Fordham Intellectual Property, Media and Entertainment Law Journal

On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the Fordham Intellectual Property Law & Policy Conference, its organizer, Professor Hugh Hansen, planned a session on “U.S. Copyright Law: Where Has It Been? Where Is It Going?” and asked me to look back over the twenty years since the conference’s inception in order to identify the most important development in copyright during that period. Of course, the obvious answer is “the Internet,” or “digital media,” whose effect on copyright law has been pervasive. I want to propose a less obvious response, but first acknowledge that digital media and communications have presented …

International Copyright: An Unorthodox Analysis, Hugh C. Hansen 2013 Fordham University School of Law

International Copyright: An Unorthodox Analysis, Hugh C. Hansen

Fordham Intellectual Property, Media and Entertainment Law Journal

Professor Hansen reviews the development of copyright from its traditional domestic orientation to the modern emphasis on globalization and harmonization. His commentary analogizes modern trends in international copyright to religious equivalents. He notes that the current players include a “secular priesthood” (the traditional copyright bar and academics), “agnostics and atheists” (newer academics and lawyers, particularly those concerned with technology and the culture of the public domain) and “missionaries” (whose task it is to increase copyright protection around the world and who are primarily driven by trade considerations). The copyright “crusade” has been driven by this last group. The author compares …

An American Tragedy: E-Books, Licenses, And The End Of Public Lending Libraries?, Matthew Chiarizio 2013 Vanderbilt University Law School

An American Tragedy: E-Books, Licenses, And The End Of Public Lending Libraries?, Matthew Chiarizio

Vanderbilt Law Review

The ascent of e-books raises many copyright issues both old and new, and the role of libraries in e-book lending is an important one for many librarians and readers. Libraries are an important part of a democratic society, and changes to the publishing and copyright landscape invariably affect the functions and use of libraries. Libraries have traditionally relied on the doctrine of first sale to lend physical books. The first sale doctrine allows the owner of a copyrighted work to sell, lend, or otherwise dispose of the owned copy of that work without authorization of the copyright holder. Libraries own …

Liberating The Library: Fair Use Mostly Upheld For University E-Reserves In Cambridge University Press V. Becker, Jennifer Findley

Mercer Law Review

Libraries and universities across the country had Georgia on their minds as they waited in anticipation for over a year for the outcome of a case. before the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. On May 11, 2012, in Cambridge University Press v. Becker, Judge Orinda Evans answered a question of vital importance to librarians and university officials ever since the passage of the Copyright Act of 1976: does copyright infringement occur if a nonprofit institution makes copies for the classroom for a nonprofit educational purpose? In a 350-page opinion, the court answered with a …
