Editor's Notes
Libraries are working to make digital collections open to the public.
There are laws and policies that protect author’s works.
Notice is no longer needed to protect works
Any tangible expression is automatically copyright protected
Work-around
Helps to identify works in the public domain
Ex: UT Austin Libraries Public Domain Project
Unknown Author
Could be available to the public digitally through reasonable searches
There could be penalties for using orphan works if owner shows up and reserves the right to ownership
Copying and distributing copyrighted work without permission
Individuals are held responsible
Universities may be held responsible for the actions of employees and students
Implied Licenses
Reasonable expectations
Presuming that any work posted to the internet will be read, used, downloaded, printed, etc.
Excludes commercial use without permission
Vague boundaries-derivatives? Large-scale nonprofit distribution?
Express Licenses
Details the rights the author of the work wants the public to have
Creative commons – sharing
easy to apply to online posts
The right to use copyrighted material without having to ask for permission
Educational, research, and scholarly uses
Collective licensing – Copyright Clearance Center
Less clear, questionable
Limit searches
There are 4 fair use factors to determine whether getting permission is necessary
It is fair use if:
Is the use you want to make of another's work transformative -- that is, does it add value to and repurpose the work for a new audience?
Is the amount of material you want to use appropriate to achieve your transformative purpose?
Use only what you need
Limit access
Available for use
Unprotected works
Library-licensed works
Creative commons licensed works
Implied license
Lack of license needed for use
Grants distance educators a limited version of rights held by educators in the classroom
You may need to revert to fair use
Copyright Clearance Center, Foreign collective, Image archives, Freelance writers, Music performances, Play rights, news archives, movies
Contact the owner, check the copyright office, confirm authority to grant permission
Get it in writing
difficulty identifying owner and unresponsive or unidentifiable owner
