    DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN WORKS ENTER the PUBLIC DOMAIN?: EMPIRICAL TESTS of COPYRIGHT TERM EXTENSION Christopher Buccafusco† & Paul J

    0001-0044_BUCCAFUSCO_081313_WEB (DO NOT DELETE) 8/13/2013 4:50 PM DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN WORKS ENTER THE PUBLIC DOMAIN?: EMPIRICAL TESTS OF COPYRIGHT TERM EXTENSION Christopher Buccafusco† & Paul J. Heald †† ABSTRACT According to the current copyright statute, copyrighted works of music, film, and literature will begin to transition into the public domain in 2018. While this will prove a boon for users and creators, it could be disastrous for the owners of these valuable copyrights. Therefore, the next few years will likely witness another round of aggressive lobbying by the film, music, and publishing industries to extend the terms of already-existing works. These industries, and a number of prominent scholars, claim that when works enter the public domain, bad things will happen to them. They worry that works in the public domain will be underused, overused, or tarnished in ways that will undermine the works’ economic and cultural value. Although the validity of their assertions turns on empirically testable hypotheses, very little effort has been made to study them. This Article attempts to fill that gap by studying the market for audiobook recordings of bestselling novels, a multi-million dollar industry. Data from this study, which includes a novel human-subjects experiment, suggest that term-extension proponents’ claims about the public domain are suspect. Audiobooks made from public domain bestsellers (1913–22) are significantly more available than those made from copyrighted bestsellers (1923–32). In addition, the experimental evidence suggests that professionally made recordings of public domain and copyrighted books are of similar quality. Finally, while a low quality recording seems to lower a listener’s valuation of the underlying work, the data do not suggest any correlation between that valuation and the legal status of the underlying work.

Department of English The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada i ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of the extent, nature, and significance of the image of Canada in the literature of the United States, with particular reference to the nineteenth century. After a preliminary chapter on Colonial American writing, the dissertation traces the development of various ideas about Canada as evinced in the work of obscure or "popular" writers as well as authors of acknowledged literary reputation, from 1776 to 1900, and concludes with a summary chapter on twentieth-century achievements and prospects. To the British American authors of various journals and captivity narratives in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Canada is mainly the stronghold of French Roman Catholic heresy and Indian barbarism.

'. \j-\''-ii.VZj'\'.'jjA, 'UrUi^^^(" I, Leah Gwenyth Mercer, declare that the work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original and my own work, except as acknowledged in the text. This thesis has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. Leah Gwenyth Mercer Abstract This thesis argues that the period from 1920 to 1930 represents a 'feminized' moment in Brisbane's theatre history. Using a feminist methodology, the rise of cinematic technologies and the decline of theatre as a 'popular' medium are placed in context against the rise of the female producer/actor, the rising recognition of the female audience as a market and the corresponding growth of a 'Woman's' theatrical repertoire/genre. Four female theatre workers who were based in or passed through Brisbane during this decade are examined in detail. Although the range of performance models covered is not meant to be exhaustive, these four women were chosen to represent a broad spectrum of female theatre work. This thesis is divided into three chapters. Chapter One revisits the works of seven feminist theorists as a means of identifying and establishing a number of stages that are common to their work.

    SMITH'S PACIFIC NORTHWEST AMERICANA CHARLES W. SMITI-I'S PACIFIC NORTHWEST AMERICANA A CHECK LIST OF BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS RELATING TO THE HISTORY OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST EDITION 3, REVISED AND EXTENDED BY ISABEL MAYHEW OREGON HISTORICAL SOCIETY BINFORDS Sc MORT, Publishers, PORTLAND, OREGON 1950 FOREWORD IN April 1908, Charles W. Smith, Assistant Librarian of the University of Washington, was induced by fellow librarians to prepare a co-operative check list of books and pamphlets relating to the Pacific Northwest and available in librar- ies of the region. A plan was agreed upon whereby each library furnished a card list of its holdings to Mr. Smith, who as compiler codified the records and edited the resultant union list. The volume was published in 1909 by the Washington State Library under the title, Check-List of Books and Pamphlets Relating to the History of the Pacific Northwest to be Found in Representative Libraries of That Region. The title indicates clearly that the intention of the compiler and his collaborators was to prepare a list of actual holdings and not a comprehensive bibliography. Twelve years later, most of the libraries had grown in stature and their hold- ings of Pacific Northwest Americana had more than trebled.It was time to prepare a second edition, revised and enlarged, and one might even say consider- ably improved for the librarians of the region had learned much about biblio- graphy in more than a decade of growth and experience. Ihis edition, bearing the short title, Pacific Northwest Americana, was published in 1921. Eighteen libraries co-operated in its preparation.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have not only played an important part in the history of Canada but they have con­ tributed a great deal to Canadian literature by their deeds and, not infrequently, by their writings. Their hardships on the pion­ eer trails across the prairies, their battles with the Indians, their pursuit of horse- thieves and their relentless trailing of criminals in the Arctic have been the themes of many books by Canadian and American writers. Unfortunately, many of these authors have been more interested in exciting the imagination of the reader than in present­ ing a truthful picture of the subject.
