COPY(WRITE): INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY in the WRITING CLASSROOM PERSPECTIVES on WRITING Series Editor, Susan H CopyCopy((write) Intellectual Property in the Writing Classroom Edited by Martine Courant Rife Shaun Slattery Dànielle Nicole DeVoss COPY(WRITE): INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IN THE WRITING CLASSROOM PERSPECTIVES ON WRITING Series Editor, Susan H. McLeod The Perspectives on Writing series addresses writing studies in a broad sense. Consistent with the wide ranging approaches characteristic of teaching and scholarship in writing across the curriculum, the series presents works that take divergent perspectives on working as a writer, teaching writing, administering writing programs, and studying writing in its various forms. The WAC Clearinghouse and Parlor Press are collaborating so that these books will be widely available through free digital distribution and low-cost print editions. The publishers and the Series editor are teachers and researchers of writing, committed to the principle that knowledge should freely circulate. We see the opportunities that new technologies have for further democratizing knowledge. And we see that to share the power of writing is to share the means for all to articulate their needs, interest, and learning into the great experiment of literacy.

During your first meeting, a committee member boldly claims that all work faculty and students create during their tenure at the insti- tution should rightly be the property of the institution—especially considering the economic hardship and budget cuts facing most institutions of higher education. What is your response to this claim? An undergraduate student has accepted work doing freelance web authoring and design. She comes to you to ask what materials produced in a freelance capacity can be included in her profes- sional portfolio. As both professor and professional mentor to this student, how might you advise her? You serve on an advisory committee for your college’s library. A library representative and faculty member co-present their proposal to adopt a college-wide media use policy. The policy includes requirements such as “ faculty can use 30 seconds of a 5-minute song” in their teaching, or “ faculty can post 10 minutes of a 90-minute film on the college’s streaming server” for class use. How might you advise in this situation? While working with a departmental curriculum committee, a committee member claims that there is no need to revise a writ- ing course to include copyright and fair use because “there’s not enough time to teach that, too.” What might your response be? DOI: https://doi.org/10.37514/PER-B.2011.2355.1.1 xi Martine Rife, Shaun Slattery, and Dànielle Nicole DeVoss Intellectual property, more and more, rubs up against the work we do in our classrooms, libraries, and offices and in our curricula, teaching, and poli- cies. When we craft teaching materials that include visuals, audio, and video, we implicate ourselves in intellectual property issues. When we ask students to craft multimodal compositions, we implicate them in intellectual property issues. What intellectual property issues are involved depend on each compo- sition, audience, context, purpose, and use. Intellectual property is an inher- ently rhetorical set of laws and practices, worthy of our attention as researchers, teachers, colleagues, and members

Nowresearch about the human factorsis crucial. This can be divided intofour areas.(1) TLe needs telecommunicationsmust satisfy--needs can be extrapolated from currentbehavior.(2) The technological alternatives available--importantdevelopments are being made in transmission andswitching equipment and user terminals. (3) The effectiveness of thealternatives for meeting the needs--studies should combine the laboratoryand outside world and should focus on typical consumers aswell as business users.(4) The secondary effects--impact studies aredifficult and usually begin after the impact has been felt. Animpact study approach can be to ask what constraints would beloosened by the presence of a technological development. For example, lower costtelecommunications would remove one constraint on longdistance calls and could lead to new group associations.Several disciplines are relevant toresearch that is needed, including informationtheory, management studies, psychology, sociology, urban and regionalplanning and geogTaphy.

VISION: Dark night skies, clean air and water, broad views and vistas, and an abundance of native plants and animals. Photo: Lucas Basulto/MDLT The Mojave Desert Land Trust (MDLT) protects the unique living landscapes of the California deserts. Our service area spans nearly 26 million acres - the entire California portion of the Mojave and Colorado deserts - about 25% of the state. Since 2006 we have secured permanent and lasting protection for over 90,000 acres across the California deserts. We envisage the California desert as a vital ecosystem of interconnected, permanently protected scenic and natural areas that host a diversity of native plants and wildlife. Views and vistas are broad. The air is clear, the water clean, and the night skies dark. Cities and military facilities are compact and separated by large natural areas. Residents, visitors, land managers, and political leaders value the unique environment in which they live and work, as well as the impacts of global climate change upon the desert ecosystem. MDLT shares our mission of protecting wildlife corridors, land conservation education, habitat management and restoration, research, and outreach with the general public so they too can become well informed and passionate protectors and stewards of our desert resources. Only through acquisition, stewardship, public awareness, and advocacy can

  • That Affair Next Door
    That Affair Next Door By Anna Katharine Green THAT AFFAIR NEXT DOOR BOOK I MISS BUTTERWORTH'S WINDOW I A DISCOVERY I am not an inquisitive woman, but when, in the middle of a certain warm night in September, I heard a carriage draw up at the adjoining house and stop, I could not resist the temptation of leaving my bed and taking a peep through the curtains of my window. First: because the house was empty, or supposed to be so, the family still being, as I had every reason to believe, in Europe; and secondly: because, not being inquisitive, I often miss in my lonely and single life much that it would be both interesting and profitable for me to know. Luckily I made no such mistake this evening. I rose and looked out, and though I was far from realizing it at the time, took, by so doing, my first step in a course of inquiry which has ended—— But it is too soon to speak of the end. Rather let me tell you what I saw when I parted the curtains of my window in Gramercy Park, on the night of September 17, 1895. Not much at first glance, only a common hack drawn up at the neighboring curb-stone. The lamp which is supposed to light our part of the block is some rods away on the opposite side of the street, so that I obtained but a shadowy glimpse of a young man and woman standing below me on the pavement. I could see, however, that the woman—and not the man—was putting money into the driver's hand.

  • A DESPERATE CHARACTER, and OTHER STORIES by Ivan Turgenev Translated from the Russian by Constance Garnett
    A DESPERATE CHARACTER, AND OTHER STORIES By Ivan Turgenev Translated from the Russian By Constance Garnett 1899 TO JOSEPH CONRAD WHOSE ART IN ESSENCE OFTEN RECALLS THE ART AND ESSENCE OF TURGENEV INTRODUCTION The six tales now translated for the English reader were written by Turgenev at various dates between 1847 and 1881. Their chronological order is:— Pyetushkov, 1847 The Brigadier, 1867 A Strange Story, 1869 Punin and Baburin, 1874 Old Portraits, 1881 A Desperate Character, 1881 Pyetushkov is the work of a young man of twenty-nine, and its lively, unstrained realism is so bold, intimate, and delicate as to contradict the flattering compliment that the French have paid to one another—that Turgenev had need to dress his art by the aid of French mirrors. Although Pyetushkov shows us, by a certain open naïveté of style, that a youthful hand is at work, it is the hand of a young master, carrying out the realism of the ‘forties’—that of Gogol, Balzac, and Dickens— straightway, with finer point, to find a perfect equilibrium free from any bias or caricature. The whole strength and essence of the realistic method has been developed in Pyetushkov to its just limits. The Russians are instinctive realists, and carry the warmth of life into their pages, which warmth the French seem to lose in clarifying their impressions and crystallising them in art. Pyetushkov is not exquisite: it is irresistible. Note how the reader is transported bodily into Pyetushkov’s stuffy room, and how the major fairly boils out of the two pages he lives in! (pp.
