  • Digital Rights Management, Copyright, and Napster†
    Digital Rights Management, Copyright, and Napster† Nic Garnett* Digital Rights Management technologies in the field of copyright protection should meet four objectives: • give consumers new freedom to enjoy music and other forms of content; • give copyright owners and other value chain participants the means to manage and protect their rights in published works; • implement elements of law, such as copyright exceptions, that ensure that rights are managed in accordance with the public interest; • provide users with the means to manage their legitimate personal rights and interests. We sketch how these goals can be achieved with current technology for peer-to-peer Digital Rights Management (DRM). This technology can ensure the neutrality, security, commercial reliability, and trusted interoperability of applications and services used to protect and manage rights in all forms of information, including creative works protected by copyright. The rapidly evolving area of digital commerce in information requires a framework of commercial trust comparable in scope, and at least as reliable, as the systems of trust that underpin commerce in the physical world. 1. INTRODUCTION Great creators are normally great communicators, their individual voices collectively embodying and expressing the values and passions of their culture. Using digital technology expedites the accurate communication of creators’ works. When employed in the proper context, digital technology can also support the universe of rights associated with most creative works – the rights of creators, value chain members, users, and societal organizations. Although digital technology can greatly enhance the communication of creators’ works, it can also create severe problems. Improperly used digital technology can deny content creators and their successors a commercial return on their labor and the ability to manage and exploit their own property.

  • Defense Against the Dark Arts of Copyright Trolling Matthew As G
    Loyola University Chicago, School of Law LAW eCommons Faculty Publications & Other Works 2018 Defense Against the Dark Arts of Copyright Trolling Matthew aS g Jake Haskell Follow this and additional works at: https://lawecommons.luc.edu/facpubs Part of the Civil Procedure Commons, and the Intellectual Property Law Commons Defense Against the Dark Arts of Copyright Trolling Matthew Sag &Jake Haskell * ABSTRACT: In this Article, we offer both a legal and a pragmaticframework for defending against copyright trolls. Lawsuits alleging online copyright infringement by John Doe defendants have accounted for roughly half of all copyright casesfiled in the United States over the past threeyears. In the typical case, the plaintiffs claims of infringement rely on a poorly substantiatedform pleading and are targeted indiscriminately at noninfringers as well as infringers. This practice is a subset of the broaderproblem of opportunistic litigation, but it persists due to certain unique features of copyright law and the technical complexity of Internet technology. The plaintiffs bringing these cases target hundreds or thousands of defendants nationwide and seek quick settlements pricedjust low enough that it is less expensive for the defendant to pay rather than to defend the claim, regardless of the claim's merits. We report new empirical data on the continued growth of this form of copyright trolling in the United States. We also undertake a detailed analysis of the legal andfactual underpinnings of these cases. Despite theirunderlying weakness, plaintiffs have exploited information asymmetries, the high cost of federal court litigation, and the extravagant threat of statutory damages for copyright infringement to leverage settlementsfrom the guilty and the innocent alike.

  • FAIR USE of COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL an Informative Guide
    FAIR USE OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL An informative guide FAIR USE OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL An informative guide Prepared by the Salt Lake Community College General Counsel’s Office Q: What is "fair use"? A: Fair use is the right to use a copyrighted work under certain conditions without permission of the copyright owner. The doctrine helps prevent a rigid application of copyright law that would stifle the very creativity the law is designed to foster. It allows one to use and build upon prior works in a manner that does not unfairly deprive prior copyright owners of the right to control and benefit from their works. Together with other features of copyright law, fair use reconciles the copyright statute with the First Amendment. Q: What is the test for fair use? A: The fair use defense is now codified in Section 107 of the Copyright Act. It is a defense that is mounted when a challenge to fair use is made. There is no need to make or draft an argument for fair use absent the legal challenge to such use. The statute provides that fair use of a work “for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use, scholarship, or research)” is not an infringement of copyright. To determine whether a given use is fair use, the statute directs, one must consider the following four factors: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3.

  • Copyright and Educational Fair
    Copyright Compliance Policy for Members of the Alliant International University Community Introduction It is the policy of Alliant International University (AIU) that all members of the University Community must comply with U.S. Copyright Law. To provide for a high- quality education for students of AIU, University faculty often find it useful to make available to their students copyrighted material. Faculty frequently find that an effective means to make such information available is to copy and distribute it to students. The Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. provides for duplication of copyrighted materials by the copyright owner, with the permission of the copyright owner or when the copying is considered a “fair use” of the material. To encourage legitimate copying by the AIU faculty, staff and students within the scope of the Copyright Act and in furtherance of their educational, research, creative, and scholarly pursuits, AIU is publishing these general policy guidelines. The goal of this document is to provide faculty and staff with a general understanding of copyright law and the applicability of the fair use doctrine in teaching and research. Appropriate application of fair use in education is dependent on a fundamental knowledge of copyright law and educators can only make informed, good faith fair use judgments when they understand the concepts and principles behind the statutes. Copyright Basics A copyright is the set of exclusive legal rights authors or creators have over their works for a limited period of time. These rights include copying the works (including parts of the works), making derivative works, distributing the works and performing the works.

    LAW – Copyright, Trademark and Patent Law: An Overview of the Intellectual Property Framework in the United States – Ann Bartow COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK AND PATENT LAW: AN OVERVIEW OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FRAMEWORK IN THE UNITED STATES Ann Bartow University of South Carolina School of Law, Columbia, South Carolina, USA Keywords: Copyright, intellectual property, intangible property, invention, non- obvious, novel, monopoly, patent, Patent Trademark Office, technology, trademark, useful, utility patent Contents 1. Introduction 2. Patents 3. Copyrights 4. Trademarks Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary This article provides an overview of the general principles of intellectual property law, with examples drawn from US law. Intellectual property in the US has become an increasingly important commodity. Accordingly, the legal regime governing intellectual property rights has undergone significant development in recent years. This article will discuss the three basic categories of intellectual property: patents, copyrights and trademarks. Patents grant inventors exclusive rights to their inventions. Copyrights provide the author of a creative or artistic work rights to the reproduction, distribution and sale of that work. Finally, a trademark is an exclusive right to a word, phrase, or symbol used in conjunction with a specific good to indicate the source of the goods and distinguish them from the commercial offerings of competitors. While these categories are distinct, a single product may be simultaneously protected by patent, copyright, and trademark laws. 1. IntroductionUNESCO – EOLSS “Intellectual Property” is an umbrella term for intangible, commercially exploitable assets.
