It was funded by Ako Aotearoa Southern Hub, the Dunedin School of Art and Otago Polytechnic Research Committee. This project would not have been possible without the support and assistance we have received from colleagues and mentors during this past year. We are indebted to David McLaughlin, the principal of McLaughlin Law (http://www.mclaughlinlaw.co.nz) who specialises in legal issues as they relate to the creative industries. We would like to acknowledge his support in reviewing the legal issues arising from the Case Studies. Our thanks also to Sacha McMeeking and Khyla Russell (kaitohutohu), for their insights and assistance with aspects to do with Mātauranga Māori and cultural identity of Iwi Māori; thanks also to Laura Ferguson for her work on the “What’s Fair Poster,” Max Bellamy for photographing the “Can I Use That” poster, Tanya Low at the Bill Robertson Library, and Jenny Clark for proofreading. Our colleagues in the School of Art: Rachel Gillies, David Green, Bridie Lonie, and Prof. Leoni Schmidt provided excellent sounding boards and critical perspectives. We would also like to acknowledge the support of Jenny Aimers, Research Coordinator, and Robin Day, Deputy CEO and Head of Research at Otago Polytechnic for their ongoing support of the concerns and issues arising from research in the arts. Finally thanks to all the tertiary art teachers and students for their generous participation and input into this project. Their stories were the catalyst which got us rolling.

  • Copyright and Fair Use RENEE HOBBS University of Rhode Island, USA
    Copyright and Fair Use RENEE HOBBS University of Rhode Island, USA Humancreativityisboundlessanditshapeseveryaspectofsocial,cultural,and economic life. And although many people know that copyright law protects the professional media and entertainment industries, including book publishing, filmed entertainment, music, and video games, many do not understand how important copyright law is to creativity, education, the arts, and culture. For creative people as well as teachers and students, copyright supports creative expression and the critical analysis of mass media, popular culture, and digital media. In many ways, media literacywouldbeimpossiblewithouttheprotectionsofferedbycopyrightlaw. Although people recognize that copyright protects the rights of creators, those rights are balanced against the rights of readers, viewers, and users of copyrighted materials, protecting the public interest in accessing creative work. Originating in 1710 when, in England, the Statute of Anne gave authors the legal right to disseminate their work for fixed terms, the copyright laws of each nation have served to protect and empower both authors and users. Copyright law protects all stakeholders in the circulation of ideas and information, as the purpose of copyright is to promote creativity and innovation by contributing to the spread of knowledge. However, copyright laws vary from country to country, with some important gen- eral similarities but many unique and specific differences. There is no such thing asan international copyright that automatically protects an author’s works throughout the entire world. Protection depends on the national laws of each country, and international agreements, treaties, and conventions have greatly simplified international copyright. Still, the World Intellectual Property Organization notes that, in some countries, copy- rightlawprotectsauthorsinuniqueways.Forexample,inEuropeannations,authors hold moral rights that enable them to prevent distorted reproductions of the work.

NOTES Satellite/Dish Antenna Technology: A Copyright Owner's Dilemma In 1976, Congress completely revised the 1909 Copyright Act,' primarily due to technological advancements which antiquated the prior law. Due to subsequent technological advancements, however, the 1976 Copyright Act is no longer responsive to current needs.' Privately-owned dish antennae util- ized in conjunction with communication satellites exemplify technology not covered by the existing legislation. Policy considerations suggest that the Act should be amended to protect copyrighted works transmitted via satellite and received through privately-owned dish antennae. This Note will examine dish antenna technology in light of the 1976 Copyright Act and the policy considerations behind the revised copyright legislation. The first section will review the historic development of cable televi- sion, subscription television (STV), multipoint distribution systems (MDS) and satellite technology.
