Jessica, I'm just sharing one article after reading the article you shared. Yes, these stories describe different situations, but both are related to fair use, right? It does not sound like the concept that fair use must necessarily be transformative is cited in second example. Wouldn't UCLA lawyers want to make note of that, too?

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<mailto: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<tel:563-589-4225> ext. 2244 Fax: 563-589-4217<tel:563-589-4217> Email: m...@dubuque.lib.ia.us<mailto:m...@dubuque.lib.ia.us> From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu<mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu> [mailto: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<mailto: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<tel:224-545-3897> (cell) 212-627-1785<tel:212-627-1785> (land line) jessicapros...@gmail.com<mailto: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.
