The Institute of Law and Technology (IDT-Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) and the CC French chapter (CERSA-Université de Paris 2), together with leads from other CC jurisdictions, are united in one common effort to discuss CC values, technology and innovative solutions. We think that authors contributing to this volume share the following trends: 1. Commons-oriented management: Humans are able to organize collective action on a much larger scale than predicted by theories of individualistic rationality. Intelligent multimedia means that collaborative work on access and reuse is more efficient for building a common good of digital texts and images. 2. Open Access: Technologies develop and promote interoperability standards when building ontologies, interfaces, documents, platforms, and in the reuse of software and tools to facilitate the efficient dissemination of content. The Open Access Initiative (Declaration of Budapest, 2001) has its roots in the open access and institutional repository movements. Universal access to information and knowledge is a key principle in UNESCO's overall mandate to promote the free flow of information and thus to place information and knowledge through multimedia platforms at the doorsteps of communities. 3. Free Culture and public data: This movement states that all citizens are free to participate in the transmission and evolution of knowledge and culture, without setting artificial boundaries on who can participate or how to. The Free Culture movement seeks to develop knowledge, creativity and participation by promoting principles such as public domain, communication and free expression or citizens' civil liberties, and offer technological means to practice and develop their liberties. 4. A common interest in multimedia creation, imaging and management: Accessibility means flexibility and the possibility of an easier and more effective readability and use of the shared

    Linux at 25 PETERHISTORY H. SALUS Peter H. Salus is the author of A n June 1991, at the USENIX conference in Nashville, BSD NET-2 was Quarter Century of UNIX (1994), announced. Two months later, on August 25, Linus Torvalds announced Casting the Net (1995), and The his new operating system on comp.os.minix. Today, Android, Google’s Daemon, the Gnu and the Penguin I (2008). [email protected] version of Linux, is used on over two billion smartphones and other appli- ances. In this article, I provide some history about the early years of Linux. Linus was born into the Swedish minority of Finland (about 5% of the five million Finns). He was a “math guy” throughout his schooling. Early on, he “inherited” a Commodore VIC- 20 (released in June 1980) from his grandfather; in 1987 he spent his savings on a Sinclair QL (released in January 1984, the “Quantum Leap,” with a Motorola 68008 running at 7.5 MHz and 128 kB of RAM, was intended for small businesses and the serious hobbyist). It ran Q-DOS, and it was what got Linus involved: One of the things I hated about the QL was that it had a read-only operating system. You couldn’t change things ... I bought a new assembler ... and an editor.... Both ... worked fine, but they were on the microdrives and couldn’t be put on the EEPROM. So I wrote my own editor and assembler and used them for all my programming. Both were written in assembly language, which is incredibly stupid by today’s standards.

  • 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.
