Copyright
Description
An account of the resource
The author of this book goes over some of the history of copyright and some of the current existing laws. He explains that under the current laws of the U.S., securing a copyright doesn't require publication, registration, or any other action in the U.S. Copyright Office. Instead, copyright protection is secured automatically upon the creation of a work. Copyright protection is available to original works of authorship, such as musical works, sound recordings, photographs, literary works, movies, television, and software. The owner of a copyright has certain exclusive rights, such as selling the work, performing the work publicly, reproducing the work, and creating derivative works. The copyright owner can also transfer ownership of the work, whether by complete transfer or by granting a license. He explains information about how to secure a copyright and the advantages of registration with the Copyright Office. He also gives advice on the legal aspect of how to do this properly and offers where to get help in doing this.

Copyright
Description
An account of the resource
The author talks about one of the most controversial questions in copyright law today concerns the proper scope of protection for unpublished works, a few examples of these are letters, diaries, journals, reports, and/or drafts that the owner of it may publish in the future. He stands by his statement that the question does not become whether or not it has the ability to be copyrighted, but rather it's more about whether the work should be given stronger copyright protection than published or widely disseminated works? The interest in this topic causes the author to talk about several cases, like Harper and Row vs. Nation Enterprises.

Copyright
Description
An account of the resource
An in depth explanation starting with the history of copyright which started in England in the late fifteenth century. It explains how as printing presses began to grow, authorities sought to control the publication of books by granting printers a near monopoly on publishing in England. So the Licensing Act of 1662 confirmed that monopoly and established a register of licensed books to be administered by the Stationers’ Company, a group of printers with the authority to censor publications. This book follows the different cases that happened as a result of the different laws that began to emerge following the Licensing Act of 1662. The information is explained through the viewpoints of the author himself. He follows the different and most current legislations that exist under the topic of copyright and explains how each one of them works and how it affects the user. He follows it up with an in depth explanation of his prediction of the future of copyright laws and how it'll affect the future generations.

Conserving Digital Resources: Issues and Future Access

Description
An account of the resource
The following article explores the issues surrounding digital preservation. Especially when it comes to deciding what should and shouldn’t be preserved. In addition to that, it is important to note the ease in which something published online can be shared. Unlike something that was physically published/printed thus limiting who has access to it. As a result, the design of an archive requires constant though necessary management of activities over a long period of time. However, for that to work, guidelines need to be put in place prior to it being put into practice. As it helps with figuring out what to collect and save because not only does it limit system overload it keeps unnecessary things from getting in. That’s not to say that what wasn’t selected isn’t important, it just that like physical books it’d be really hard to save everything. On the flip side, “Born digital data is too voluminous and too fragile to be left to the caprice of short-term needs and priorities.” So, to help those who might be looking at something in the future saving selectively is key. That way just enough is needed to provide an accurate record, which is why looking at issues in various ways is essential.

Understanding Copyfraud: Public Domain Images and False Claims of Copyright
Subject

Copyright
Description
An account of the resource
Chris Needham opens the door on the common copyfraud that occurs when museums misrepresent or restrict rights in a way that go against public domain copyright law. Needham first explains relevant copyright issues such as the copyright of certain artworks and books. Copyright lasts for about seventy years, but certain copyright laws can be a gray area when it comes to preservation of artifacts. How these artifacts become part of the public domain is a photograph is taken of the artifact and posted online for anyone to see much like a virtual museum. The author then dives into how the copyfraud of archives affect universities, publishing houses, and museums. In a more positive light, Needham shows how librarians and visual resource managers are supporting museums change their approach to copyright and copyfraud. Needham focuses on how this change is transforming scholarship and allowing scholars and librarians to better serve the public.
Chris Needham’s article is a well-written piece that dives into the issues that archives face with copyright laws. While copyright laws have been around for a long time, it can be difficult to interpret those laws for very specific situations, and it can be easy to commit copyfraud without realizing. This article is eye-opening and an important read for anyone within the scholarship field.

Copyright Protection and Cumulative Creation: Evidence from Early Twentieth-Century Music
Subject
The topic of the resource
Copyright
Description
An account of the resource
This article uses information from an online database of music sampling to estimate the effect of copyright protection on the cumulative use of music. Using unique panel data that link upstream and downstream music, the author uses regression analysis to examine the rates at which early 20th-century musical works were used throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. The results suggest that copyright protection causes an upstream work to be used less than half as often as it would be if it were in the public domain after conditioning on upstream-song and downstream-year fixed effects. Placebo regressions in which the copyright expiration date is artificially shifted forward and backward in time by 2, 5, and 10 years suggest an immediate effect of copyright expiration on downstream use.

Teaching to Dismantle White Supremacy in Archives
Subject
The topic of the resource
Pedagogy
Description
An account of the resource
This article gives a transparent view of how archives have been affected by white supremacy. Caswell provides simple ways for students and professionals to dismantle the signs of white supremacy in archives across the United States. Caswell’s greatest teaching is the ethics behind the critique of materials. Caswell creates a model of behaviors to help students resist the unconscious teachings of white supremacy by retraining the impressionable students in her class. Caswell explains that the election of President Trump, who has shown to be homophobic, sexist and racist, has created a divide in the classroom. The only way to prevent this is for teachers to intervene pedagogically. The students identify instances in which archives have white privilege embedded in them and how to collectively strategize steps to dismantle white supremacy in the student’s own personal archiving. Caswell proposes that students will exhibit behavior based on what is already innate in their minds, but Caswell’s model of behavior trains students to think differently.
Caswell’s article gives real life instruction on how politics both in the past and currently, effect digital or physical archiving. While most people don’t intentionally allow white privilege in archiving, Caswell’s article shows that it is an unconscious act that is done from years of example from the many role models of a person’s life.

Subject

Copyright
Description
An account of the resource
This chapter examines the complications that are present when attempting to digitally archive spoken languages, focusing on how researchers and archivists must act to minimize or avoid property right violations. Widlok first explains why researchers find it necessary to digitize their archives, believing that non-digitized collections risk becoming “data cemeteries” that are more prone to data loss. By placing their research into these archives and with the efficient use of metadata, these collections become more effective in data preservation. However, the digitization of this data brings new concerns for archivists. These issues often center around matters of access to collections. Many archivists attempt to solve these problems by providing layered access to these collections, with different groups being allowed to view different levels of content. However, Widlok notes that this solution does not solve the problem when working with the property rights of the spoken languages of different communities. Some members involved, such as funding agencies and researchers, may attempt to have this information more freely available, while members of these communities may desire more restrictions. Widlok also notes that there may be different opinions among members of the same community. He instructs researchers to take these varying attitudes into account and work to avoid instigating conflicts between opposing parties.

Description
An account of the resource
This paper examines factors that limit the ability of institutions to digitally preserve the cultural heritage of the modern era. The author takes a wide-ranging approach to shed light on limitations to the scope of digital preservation. The author finds that technological limitations to digital preservation have been addressed but still exist, and that non-technical aspects-access, selection, law, and finances-move into the foreground as technological limitations recede. The author proposes a nested model of constraints to the scope of digital preservation and concludes that costs are digital preservation's most pervasive limitation. (Provided by author)

Description
An account of the resource
The development of new digital technologies has led to fundamental changes in the ways that cultural institutions fulfill their public missions of access, preservation, research, and education. Many institutions are developing publicly accessible Web sites that allow users to visit online exhibitions, search collection databases, access images of collection items, and in some cases create their own digital content. Digitization, however, also raises the possibility of copyright infringement. It is imperative that staff in libraries, archives, and museums understand fundamental copyright principles and how institutional procedures can be affected by the law. "Copyright and Cultural Institutions" was written to assist understanding and compliance with copyright law. It addresses the basics of copyright law and the exclusive rights of the copyright owner, the major exemptions used by cultural heritage institutions, and stresses the importance of "risk assessment" when conducting any digitization project. Case studies on digitizing oral histories and student work are also included. (Provided by authors)
