  Nathan D.M. Robertson [email protected] Complyand Use I Need to Use. I Want to Comply. But With What? And How? NISO/BISG Forum: The Changing Standards Landscape ALA Annual Meeting Anaheim, CA 27 June 2008 Comply With What? I need to use this. Are there rules? Well, there are default rules…. COPYRIGHT LAW Okay, fine. So what are the rules? I have no idea. COPYRIGHT LAW What is the Law of Copyright? Is it illegal to copy news articles from other websites to my website? And how much bad or severe it could be, after being caught? ... And if somebody does it, how much cautious he/she shud b? “It isn't illegal as long as you give the website you got it from credit.” “Fair-use does apply to news stories. As long as you give full credit of where you got it and who wrote it on the page with the story, you should be fine.” “Yes, it is illegal unless the content is syndicated. You can't rectify plagiarism by simply citing the source.” What is the Law of Copyright? I want to copy write something, but I do not know if it is already copy writed.Where would I look? When you apply for a copyright it should come up that way. Things also should have the c inside a circle to show you they're copyrighted or have a trademark. THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS , BUT ITS REALLY USELESS BECAUSE ANYONE WHO KNOCKS OFF YOUR WORK 30% DIFFERENT ISN'T COVERED BY COPY WRITE . I'VE SUED TWO T-SHIRT COMPANIES WHO USED MY WORK (NOT COPYWRITED) & WON LARGE $ SETTLEMANTS . I HAD MY ORIGIONALS TO PROVE MY CASE . IF YOU SELL YOUR ORIGIONALS YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY THEY AREN'T YOURS ANYMORE ANYWAY . In the US all you have to do is make sure that the words “copyright (year)(your name).” You can sell the drawing under a contract that states that ownership of the work does NOT include ownership of the copyright, and so even if they've bought and paid for the drawing, that doesn't authorize them to reproduce or use your work for their own profit. . . . Copyright in the US expires after 50 years and is then available for renewal or transfer. Then a book publisher or the author’s son or daughter or anyone else can stake a claim to the copyright and keep the work protected for another 50 years. What is the Law of Copyright? Are they ways to paint my own work of a licensed character without infringing on the copywrite? As long as your not re creating an image that displays the TM or C logo's, you can use any image. I've painted many such murals in homes as well as businesses. I believe they are worried about you profiting from many reproductions not just one here and there. I don't think you have much to worry about besides, if you change 10% of the main look of what you paint, it's considered your work. You could be sued for copyright infringment if you are making money from it. If you did do it I would recommend not leaving a paper trail. Such as no check all cash and no signiture. Me personally wouldn't do it. What is the Law of Copyright? None of my friends have a clue. So what are the rules? “[Adjudicating fair use] is not to be simplified with bright-line rules, for the statute, like the doctrine it recognizes, calls for case-by-case analysis.” Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., 510 U.S. 569, 577 (1994)

  Beyond Copyright This isstupid. I don’t understand these rules. Me either. (And besides, I think they may give away the farm). So, tell you what—let’s just make up our own rules: I’ll license it to you! Um. Ok? COPYRIGHT LAW CONTRACT LAW Now what? Don’t worry—we’ll fix it. Licenses: Contract Law If there is a question, consult the agreement. If there is a dispute about the agreement, resolve through contract law. CONTRACT LAW If the agreement doesn’t address the question at all, resolve according to default law. CONTRACT LAW COPYRIGHT LAW Enter Libraries. . . . This is stupid. And I don’t even care. I don’t care about the rules. And besides, I just get this database free at my school. (Isn’t everything on teh intarwebs in the public domain?) No, it’s not free! Here in the library we pay a lot of money so you can use this! And we care about the rules! And you should too! Licenses Resolve Questions … ?? Great. So we’ll make an agreement that makes the rules clear? Sure! How about these rules: blah blah blah blah…. Well, our users want blah blah blah blah…. Yeah, okay, but how about blah blah blah blah…. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah …. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah ….

Ambiguity Can be Desirable China Alters Language On Taiwan By Philip P. Pan Washington Post Foreign Service Friday, May 13, 2005 BEIJING, May 12 -- Chinese President Hu Jintao proposed new diplomatic language Thursday aimed at ending the decades-old state of hostilities between China and Taiwan […] Under the new language, Hu effectively agreed to open talks if Taiwan accepted the principle of "two shores, one China" while acknowledging that the two sides might differ on precisely what that term meant.

  Publishers are goingto do this? We are the University of Maryland School of Law.  In College Park, right? No, the University of Maryland’s Law School is at the University of Maryland, Baltimore Campus. Oh, the University of Baltimore School of Law? No….Oh! The University of Maryland Baltimore County! No…. Okay, I found you! The University of Maryland School of Law. On Paca Street! … that was two addresses and over ten years ago. Okay, so anyway, here’s your username and password to distribute to your users. Password? Are you serious? Ever heard of IP authentication? …what? Rights Management Chain selected rights transferred selected rights transferred all rights transferred My patrons need X and Y rights. I can only transfer rights I have. selected rights all rights all rights selected rights all rights I have (not all rights!) selected rights selected rights the remaining rights selected rights My patrons need X and Y rights. Hooray! A product I can license. You have got to be kidding. It’s still too complicated ERMI  Large libraries & consortia may have the staff resources necessary to encode their licenses.  Smaller libraries may not even have the resources to truly negotiate license terms, much less encode them ONIX-PL  Larger publishers and large libraries have the resources to develop ONIX-PL encodings. But our real problem licenses are from the smaller publishers  If we’re only going to see ONIX-PL encodings from a few publishers, is it worth our time to ask system vendors to accommodate? Shared E-Resource Understanding The authorized user population will be defined in institutionally appropriate ways that respect the business interests of the publisher. Use of the subscribed content is generally governed by applicable copyright law.  When questionable activity is detected … suspension of access for the subscribing institution by a publisher may be necessary but should be an action of last resort . . . . Standards to the rescue? Maybe . . .  SERU offers promise for situations where a formal license creates unnecessary administrative overhead and hassle  ONIX-PL and ERMI are available tools if you have the resources to apply them What about our small libraries & publishers with big contracts? Can we standardize inherent ambiguity? If not, are we willing to give up the negotiating value of ambiguity in favor of bright-line rules for easier comprehension?
