Even Weird Al Gets Permission – American University Intellectual Property Brief If you’re on the Intellectual Property Brief website, odds are that you know what fair use is. The doctrine of fair use is one of the most important features of United States copyright law, and the need for its preservation cannot be overstated. The American University Center for Social Media has some excellent definitions of fair use: “Fair use is the right, in some circumstances, to quote copyrighted material without asking permission or paying for it. “Fair use is flexible; it is not uncertain or unreliable. Fair use is a privileged use of another’s copyrighted work; it is a complete defense, and means that the use was not an infringement. (1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and The confusion was cleared up the next day with the post Gaga Update!
Lawrence Lessig, l'ami des damnés du web Temps de lecture: 17 min À 56 ans, Lawrence Lessig a un CV plus long que le bras (littéralement) et accompli plus que certains ne pourraient le faire en dix vies. Universitaire, constitutionnaliste, figure de proue des défenseurs d'internet, il est une icône geek qui s'attaque aujourd'hui à la corruption et à la défense de réformes pour la démocratie, mais qui a aussi été candidat à la Maison-Blanche... La liste pourrait continuer ainsi pendant longtemps, mais l'ancien candidat à la primaire démocrate était à Paris, mi-avril. Qu'avait-il à défendre cette fois? Le documentaire de Flore Vasseur est assez éloigné de celui de Laura Poitras, Citizenfour. Lawrence Lessig estime énormément Snowden. «Avant la conférence, j’ai lu tout ce que pouvais sur les décisions qui l’ont poussé à faire ce qu’il a fait. Lawrence Lessig a demandé en septembre dernier à ce qu'il soit grâcié, en raison de l'utilité publique des informations divulguées. L'assistant progressiste d'un juge conservateur

Creative Commons Organization creating copyright licenses for the public release of creative works Creative Commons (CC) is an American non-profit organization and international network devoted to educational access and expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share.[3] The organization has released several copyright licenses, known as Creative Commons licenses, free of charge to the public. These licenses allow authors of creative works to communicate which rights they reserve and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators. An easy-to-understand one-page explanation of rights, with associated visual symbols, explains the specifics of each Creative Commons license. The organization was founded in 2001 by Lawrence Lessig, Hal Abelson, and Eric Eldred[4] with the support of Center for the Public Domain. In 2002, the Open Content Project, a 1998 precursor project by David A. Purpose and goal[edit] Creative Commons network[edit]
Fair Use Evaluator What this tool can do for you: What this tool cannot do for you: Culture libre Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La culture libre est un mouvement social qui promeut la liberté de distribuer et de modifier des œuvres de l'esprit sous la forme d'œuvres libres[1] par l'utilisation d'internet ou d'autres formes de médias. Le mouvement de la culture libre puise sa philosophie de celle du logiciel libre en l'appliquant à la culture, dans des domaines aussi variés que l'art, l'éducation, la science, etc[2]. Les mécanismes juridiques des licences libres attachées à la culture sont également inspirés du logiciel libre ; l'utilisation des licences art libre ou Creative Commons a ainsi permis l'émergence de la musique libre et de l'art libre. La culture libre défend notamment l'idée que les droits d'auteurs ne doivent pas porter atteinte aux libertés fondamentales du public.

Fair use and transformativeness: It may shake your world I am no longer sure that anything I learned, or anything I regularly share relating to fair use, is either helpful or relevant. As a gatekeeper, I’ve been far too conservative. As I watched the information and communication landscapes shift over the past few years, I secretly viewed fair use as a doctrine that guided what we couldn’t do. Fear and guilt seemed regularly in the way of innovative teaching and creative expression. I was reluctant to use, or bless the use, of copyrighted materials–movies, television, advertising, popular music, etc. Recently my Temple University colleague, Renee Hobbs shared, what was for me, a relatively foreign (but perhaps obvious) idea: copyright is designed not only to protect the rights of owners, but also to preserve the ability of users to promote creativity and innovation. And fair use may be far more fair than I ever imagined. My new understanding: Transformativeness gives us new freedoms in a mix-up, mash-up world of broadly shared media.
Remix (book) 2008 book by Lawrence Lessig Lessig outlines two cultures - the read-only culture (RO) and the read/write culture (RW). The RO culture is the culture we consume more or less passively. The information or product is provided to us by a 'professional' source, the content industry, that possesses an authority on that particular product/information. Digital technology, however, does not have the 'natural' constraints of the analog that preceded it. As opposed to RO culture, Read/Write culture has a reciprocal relationship between the producer and the consumer. Lessig posits that digital technologies provide the tools for reviving RW culture and democratizing production. The Internet and Commons The internet is essentially the hub for this type of economy. Free Software Remixing is this software's very nature. YouTube's growing issue in copyright claims With growing frequency, YouTube has begun copyright striking, and taking down videos that appear to have claimed content in them in any way.

Remix culture Remix culture, sometimes read-write culture, is a society that allows and encourages derivative works by combining or editing existing materials to produce a new creative work or product.[2][3] A remix culture would be, by default, permissive of efforts to improve upon, change, integrate, or otherwise remix the work of copyright holders. While a common practice of artists of all domains throughout human history,[4] the growth of exclusive copyright restrictions in the last several decades limits this practice more and more by the legal chilling effect.[5] As reaction Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig, who considers remixing a desirable concept for human creativity, works since the early 2000s[6][7] on a transfer of the remixing concept into the digital age. Lessig founded the Creative Commons in 2001 which released Licenses as tools to enable remix culture again, as remixing is legally prevented by the default exclusive copyright regime applied currently on intellectual property.
