I don't have time to go through the differences between for instance Righthaven (and this could not happen to nicer company, these people were trying to make a living attacking people for so much as putting a sentence of an article in an online post) and UCLA
Just out of curiosity Micheal, is it your belief that since colleges are non profit/ educational it is legal for them to scan/digitize every book & film in their collection and make it available online for students who are assigned the material in a class? That is pretty much the gist of the UCLA case and close in Georgia State ( though to the best of my knowledge unlike UCLA they are not trying to use long entire works such as compete novels or history books etc) On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 10:59 AM, Michael May <m...@dubuque.lib.ia.us>wrote: > Again, not videos, but this case shows how the "four-factor test" for > fair use can be interpreted: > > > > Righthaven loses second fair use ruling over copyright lawsuits > > > http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/mar/18/righthaven-loses-second-fair-use-ruling-over-copyr/ > > > > Copyright troll Righthaven achieves spectacular "fair use" loss > > > http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/03/copyright-troll-righthaven-achieves-spectacular-fair-use-loss.ars > > > > > > Mike > > > > Michael May > > Adult Services Librarian > > Carnegie-Stout Public Library > > 360 West 11th Street > > Dubuque, IA 52001-4697, USA > > Phone: 563-589-4225 ext. 2244 > > Fax: 563-589-4217 > > Email: m...@dubuque.lib.ia.us > > > > > > > > *From:* videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto: > videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] *On Behalf Of *Jessica Rosner > *Sent:* Wednesday, March 23, 2011 6:59 PM > *To:* videolib@lists.berkeley.edu > *Subject:* [Videolib] Another interesting copyright case > > > > For some stupid reason I posted this earlier on videonews by mistake. > > > > > http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/21/judge-rules-against-artist-richard-prince-in-copyright-case/?scp=1&sq=fair%20use%20copyright&st=cse > > > > I remember someone here a while back questioning the concept that in order > to qualify under "fair use" , the use did indeed have to be "transformative" > > > > While nothing in this case is related to film, it continues to establish > that "fair use' is for taking limited portions of copyrighted works to > create new works.I wonder if the UCLA lawyers are making notes. > > > > -- > Jessica Rosner > Media Consultant > 224-545-3897 (cell) > 212-627-1785 (land line) > jessicapros...@gmail.com > > VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues > relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, > preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and > related institutions.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
