Discussing §512 (f) of the DMCA: Is Fair Use a Right?

2008-12-02T18:51:10Z

The Copyright Alliance is an organization composed largely of giant corporations within the Entertainment Industry. This Alliance wants to gut our right to Fair Use like a dead fish.

http://www.copyrightalliance.org/index.php

http://www.copyrightalliance.org/content.php?id=44

Patrick Ross, the Executive Director of the Copyright Alliance, writes:

http://blog.copyrightalliance.org/2008/07/the-remix-culture/

"fair use is not a right. Copyright is a right. Fair use is a limitation on that right, which is not absolute. Specific methods of fair use are defined in court, and then only for that use. Fair use, then, is an affirmative defense the user can cite in court if sued for infringement."

The American University School of Communication Center For Social Media has published a Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Online Video:

http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/resources/publications/fair_use_in_online_video/

"...the cultural value of copying is so well established that it is written into the social bargain at the heart of copyright law. The bargain is this: we as a society give limited property rights to creators, to reward them for producing culture; at the same time, we give other creators the chance to use that same copyrighted material without permission or payment, in some circumstances. Without the second half of the bargain, we could all lose important new cultural work just because one person is arbitrary or greedy.
Copyright law has several features that permit quotations from copyrighted works without permission or payment, under certain conditions. Fair use is the most important of these features. It has been an important part of copyright law for more than 150 years. Where it applies, fair use is a right, not a mere privilege. In fact, as the Supreme Court has pointed out, fair use keeps copyright from violating the First Amendment. As copyright protects more works for longer periods than ever before, it makes new creation harder. As a result, fair use is more important today than ever before."
William Patry is one of THE foremost authorities on Fair Use. He writes:
http://williampatry.blogspot.com/2008/07/patrick-ross-and-fair-use.html

"The Yiddish/Aramaic word "chutzpah" is well known, and has been defined variously as gall, audacity, insolence, and impertinence. Patrick Ross, head of the cartoonish Copyright Alliance, seems to have chutzpah in abundance, as seen on a blog post yesterday criticizing The Center for Social Media at American University, for its release of a "Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Online Video." The best practices are a "Future of Public Media Project," funded by the Ford Foundation, a fact Mr. Ross omits.

Mr. Ross is not a lawyer, but formerly was with the right wing Progress and Freedom Foundation, which usually acts as a mouthpiece for corporate copyright owners. I have no idea whether or where Mr. Ross attempts to learn about copyright law, much less fair use. For my part, I have been a practicing copyright lawyer for 25 years, and have been studying fair use even longer, beginning in law school. In 1985, I wrote my first book on copyright, which was also the first book devoted just to fair use. The treatise's first citation was by the Supreme Court in the Harper & Row case, issued shortly after the treatise came out. Subsequently, that treatise has been cited many more times by other courts. I have testified before a joint session of the IP subcommittees of Congress on fair use, worked on amendments to Section 107 as a Congressional staffer, argued fair use cases in the courts of appeals and district courts, written an article about fair use with Judge Posner, advised many clients about it, and discussed the issue with the European Commission, and many representatives of foreign governments. I am unaware of any qualifications Mr. Ross has to talk about fair use.

Nor is Mr. Ross an educator. Yet, regarding both fair use and education, in his criticism of the Center's Best Practices, he speaks as if he knows more than those who are copyright lawyers and educators (and some who are both), beginning with a pompous, purported correction about the nature of fair use, scolding the Center for daring to utter the term "right" in the same sentence as fair use. . . ."

Fair Use Is a Right—the Purpose of Copyright Law:

http://www.themaskedanalyst.com/The%20Purpose%20of%20Copyright%20Law.htm

Section 108 of the copyright law:

http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#108

"Nothing in this section — in any way affects the right of fair use as provided by section 107 . . . "

2008-12-02T18:53:56Z

► samharris.com

But each week, you will get a "Friend Friday" of the behind the scenes footage before it airs. So you will get more of the interview, stuff you missed, and see things the normal viewers don't.

Sam starts this adventure with his friend Kristin Chenoweth, who share quite a bit in common. Currently staring in the hit ABC show "Pushing Daisies"
http://tinyurl.com/PushingDaisiesABC
and she has a new CD out for Christmas called
"A Lovely Way To Spend Christmas".
Available now!: tinyurl.com

For more info on Kristin, please visit:
http://www.kristinchenoweth.com

Kristin Chenoweth is an award-winning American singer and musical theatre, film and television actress. Some of her best-known roles have included Glinda in Broadway's Wicked and Annabeth Schott in television's The West Wing. She is currently appearing in the role of Olive Snook on the ABC dramedy Pushing Daisies for which she received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy. She is also the face of Jude Frances jewelry. Chenoweth has a distinctive speaking voice. In FHM's March 2006 issue, she compared her voice to that of Betty Boop. Chenoweth is a soprano known for her powerful singing technique.

Chenoweth was born Kristi Dawn Chenoweth (she added an "n" in her first name later because she thought that "Kristin" was a more operatic name than "Kristi") in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and was adopted at birth. Chenoweth's ancestry includes one-quarter Cherokee lineage. After studying drama at Broken Arrow High School under Billie Sue Thompson, Chenoweth attended Oklahoma City University, where she was a member of Gamma Phi Beta (Beta Omicron) Sorority. She earned a bachelor's degree in musical theater and a master's degree in opera performance, studying under Florence Birdwell who taught Miss America 1981 Susan Powell and three-time Tony nominee Kelli O'Hara. While at OCU, Chenoweth won the title of "Miss OCU" and went on to win second runner-up in the Miss Oklahoma pageant in 1991. She also performed at Opryland USA.

Chenoweth made her Broadway debut in a production of Molière's Scapin starring Bill Irwin, followed in the spring of 1997 by the musical Steel Pier by John Kander and Fred Ebb, for which she won a Theatre World award. The following season, she appeared in the City Center Encores! production of the George and Ira Gershwin musical Strike Up the Band and the Lincoln Center Theater production of William Finn's A New Brain. She has performed several times on the radio program A Prairie Home Companion.

During the 19981999 season, she performed in the Broadway revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown as the title character's sister, Sally, a character that was not present in the original production. (That character replaces the obscure Peanuts character Patty, not to be confused with Peppermint Patty.) The production won Chenoweth the Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Awards as the season's Best Featured Actress in a Musical. She then starred in the Broadway comedy Epic Proportions, followed by appearances in ABC's television adaptation of the musical Annie (as Lily St. Regis), and in the leading role of Daisy Gamble in the City Center Encores! production of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.

In 2003, Chenoweth performed songs from her album Let Yourself Go in concert for Lincoln Center's 5th American Songbook. She also performed in City Center Encores! 10th Anniversary Bash. In London, she was involved in Divas at Donmar for director Sam Mendes, then appeared in the Actor's Fund Benefit Concert of the musical Funny Girl in New York City.

In October 2003, Chenoweth returned to Broadway in Wicked, the smash hit musical about the early years of the witches of Oz. She was nominated for a Tony Award as Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her performance as Glinda. After playing Glinda for nine months (not including the years leading up to the Broadway run where she played the role in all of the show's workshops), Chenoweth left Wicked on 18 July 2004 along with co-stars Joel Grey and Norbert Leo Butz. Chenoweth was replaced by Jennifer Laura Thompson.

I was going to do a totally different remix, but when I was combing through McCain and Obama speeches, they both reminded me of something I have heard before. So I went back to Bush's 2007 State of the Union and BAM! See for yourself. I have yet to hear McCain or Obama talk about public transport, consuming less, bicycles etc. etc. Who you gonna vote for now America?
