  • Policy Governing Access to and Use of Copyrighted Works
    Academic Affairs – Academic Policies 5.4012.1 Policy Governing Access to and Use of Copyrighted Works In an era increasingly defined by exponential advances in technology by which intellectual property may be disseminated with increasing ease, the County College of Morris (“CCM” or “the College”) expects its students, faculty and staff to restrict use of copyrighted works to uses and applications permissible in an academic setting. The College maximizes the utility of web-based technologies to advance instruction and study both in the classroom and through remote learning opportunities. However, students and faculty must remain mindful that improper use or dissemination of copyrighted work can lead to substantial liability. Accordingly, the College requires that all faculty, administrators, students, employees and members of the CCM family maintain a good faith observance of the principles of copyright law and adhere to the requirements of the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101- 810 (the “Act”). BlackBoard Compliance Declaration: By accessing Blackboard, I certify that I am a CCM student, instructor, faculty member, employee or other user authorized by CCM to access Blackboard. I acknowledge and agree that my access to Blackboard, including any posting or downloading of content is governed by federal copyright law and the terms of this Declaration. Any copyrighted material(s) that I upload to, download from, or otherwise access or make available on Blackboard, whether visual, audio-visual, or audial in nature, shall be for use solely by CCM students, faculty or other authorized users. My use shall be for purposes directly related to a regularly scheduled CCM course of study and may not be used or disseminated for any other purpose.

  • Nancy Wolff, Et Al., Best Practices in Rights Clearance
    BEST PRACTICES IN RIGHTS CLEARANCE SELECTION OF RESOURCES AND BEST PRACTICES FOR VISUAL ARTISTS I. INTRODUCTION This document summarizes tips and resources for rights clearance and licensing of copyrighted works suggested by participants in the Best Practices in Rights Clearance – Visual Arts Symposium held at Scalia Law School, George Mason University on January 18, 2018. It is not intended as a comprehensive guide, but rather a more user-friendly tool for finding key information shared by participants than the transcripts of the sessions themselves. A. What is Copyrightable? Copyright law is meant to encourage creativity and the development of new works such as songs, photographs, poems, etc. Facts and ideas are not copyrightable, only the creative expression of the author. Types of works that can be protected are listed in the Copyright Act.1 ➢ The rights to create derivative works, or works that adapt, modify or transform the original, are also the property of the copyright owner. For example, if an author writes a book, that author is the only person who has the right to permit the book to be adapted into a movie. There are also limits on the scope of copyright. Therefore not every use needs to be cleared. For instance: ➢ The “scenes-a-faire” doctrine limits copyrights in commonly used themes or subjects in works. Such elements of works are not copyrightable, because they are the language or building blocks of creative works. ➢ The “merger” doctrine is the concept that if a copyrightable part of a work and a non-copyrightable part of a work are closely linked together and can’t be separated, they merge and become non-copyrightable.

Suggestions for Local Action at UO 1 Executive Summary The state of global scholarly communications has evolved rapidly over the last two decades, as libraries, funders and some publishers have sought to hasten the spread of more open practices for the dissemination of results in scholarly research worldwide. These practices have become collectively known as Open Access (OA), defined as "the free, immediate, online availability of research articles combined with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment." The aim of this report — the Open Access White Paper by the Senate Subcommittee on Open Access at the University of Oregon — is to review the factors that have precipitated these recent changes and to explain their relevance for members of the University of Oregon community. Open Access History and Trends Recently, the OA movement has gained momentum as academic institutions around the globe have begun negotiating and signing creative, new agreements with for-profit commercial publishers, and as innovations to the business models for disseminating scholarly research have become more widely adopted.

  • Free Software As Commons
    FREE SOFTWARE AS COMMONS BETWEEN INFORMATIONAL CAPITALISM AND A NEW MODE OF PRODUCTION By Emrah Irzık Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Professor Jakob Rigi CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2015 Statement I hereby state that the thesis contains no material accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Emrah Irzık Budapest, November 2015 CEU eTD Collection Abstract Free Software is a particular way of organizing the production and distribution of software that offers a solid alternative to the intellectual property regime by constituting an open commons: non-proprietary, created and held in common by all. Considering that in contemporary capitalism a significant amount of wealth is created through the application of intellectual effort to existing knowledge to produce new, higher compositions of knowledge that can be privately monetized as intellectual property, the challenge that Free Software might present to capitalism is bound to have important transformational potential. This potential needs to be studied both on an empirical level, in its partial and concrete manifestations in actual projects, and investigated more theoretically, to see if Free Software can be characterized as a nascent, new mode of production. This dissertation aims to contribute to the theorization of the relation between Free Software as a commons and the tenets of informational capitalism by means of an analytical study that is supported by an ethnography of a particular instance of Free Software as a project and a community.
