Copyrights and fair use

-----------November 2, 2004Great copyright resource
In addition to the links posted in my previous article on copyrights, I've found what appears to be another great resource on the topic . . . Brad Templeton's 10 Big Myths About Copyright. Templeton founded the first ever Dot Com in 1989, an online publishing company called ClariNet. He's no stranger to the issue. (I am, of course, just assuming his claims are legitimate since I have no way of knowing for sure.)
In particular, read myths 3, 4, 5 and 10. Myths 3 and 4 helped me draw some conclusions to the questions had I posed. Quoting an entire copyrighted article on Usenet would most likely be seen as a violation, while quoting only a portion for purposes of commentary should fall under "fair use." Usenet is not "public domain." When in doubt, rephrase the information. Myth 5 sheds some light on the following statement made by Singing News staffer Ken Kirksey in a posting on the AMGS newsgroup . . . A number of copyright and trademark lawsuits have been lost because the copyright or trademark holder did not aggressively protect their intellectual property. Templeton says that such protection might be required to defend a trademark, but not a copyright. Trademarks aren't always unique . . . Templeton mentions "apple" as a brand name for a computer, for example, yet the word "apple" itself has connotations outside the scope of the trademark. That's why a trademark must be protected more heavily than a copyright, which protects a unique combination of words. Finally, Myth 10 makes it clear that getting an email doesn't entitle you to forward that email word for word to another forum or individual. You aren't required by law to honor privacy with emails, but it's certainly considered to be good form. posted by David Bruce Murray @ 1:13:00 AM
