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
