Notes from Webinar w/ Peggy Hoon 11/2/2011

NOTES from CIP Webinar with Peggy Hoon:
Copyright and Online Course Content

If you don't collect the work of others in your course, you may not be providing all the materials you should.

Attribution does not obviate copyright issues; later notes that proper attribution is IRRELEVANT in determining copyright infringement

Technology develops quickly, law develops slowly

K.I.M.: without copyright, the material may never have been available in the first place

Students hold the copyright to their works

Is any government work in public domain (state, city, etc.)?

DOCUMENT EVERYTHING

The phrase "distance education" is not helpful when discussing copyright (and appears nowhere in law); "transmission" is the word to use.

"Display" applies to A/V works, not text.

Pat_DeSalvo says, "Question regarding movies: Companies such as SWANK motion pictures provide the clearance to use full films in the classroom as well as streamed from their server into the college LMS. Do you find this acceptable?"
Claudia_Holland says, "However, why should a university pay for streaming rights when payment has already been made for PPR for individual films?"

Linking seems like a safe technique, but do you think it will continue to be?

cip1 says, "can a faculty member stream netflix or a NOVA program in the classroom if they've paid for it "

"Doesn't the DCMA stipulate that if (any) media is available in the digital/streaming format you would like, you MUST purchase that?"

Jan says, "So you're saying the UCLA license of PPR broke it out arbitrarily, but streaming was still a PPR. So if you have a license with PPR that doesn't break it out, you should be able to stream?" - AGAIN, is streaming public performance and/or a transmission?

If the filmmaker's intent is the same as a teacher's intent, then the teacher's intent (to transform) is irrelevant?
