CopyrightThe Basics
Who owns what?
The author is usually the owner.Except when the work-for-hire
rule appliesAn author is someone who
contributes copyrightable expression to the work.
Unless the work for hire rules apply, the creators of the work are its authors and owners.
Managing Copyrights
The owner reserves the right to manage how their work is to be used…
Unlimited copyingCopy and distribution rightsDownloading contentStudent use onlyCommercial use only
The Invisible Wed
Mass of networked mass not on the surface
Specialized search engines Invisible web specialists Information specialists
Public Domain vs. Orphan Works
Public Domain – belonging or being available to the public as a whole. Not subject to copyright.
Orphan Works - they often lack sufficient information to identify their owners, identifying the date on which they would otherwise enter the public domain is also impossible.
Using materials from the Internet
Not everything is public domain- Once expression is committed to a
tangible medium (and computer
media is considered tangible), copyright protection is
automatic.
Implied License-just by posting, an author impliedly grants a limited license to use her work in this manner
Expressed License-licenses that spell out in detail what rights the author of a work wants readers, viewers or listeners to have.
