Dear MCN colleagues and IP sig members, If you are a rights and reproductions specialist, you probably read the CAA's "Code of Best Practices in Fair Use" cover-to-cover as soon as it came out (I did). You eagerly downloaded the IMA's wonderful "Rights and Reproductions Handbook" when it was released last summer. So, I am curious to know: 1. How many of us are actually putting fair use doctrine into practice? Did these publications impact your day-to-day operations around rights requests? 2. Does your museum invoke fair use on a regular basis, or does it take a "play-it-safe and clear everything" policy? 3. What types of reproductions do you clear rights for, and which ones not? Catalogues Website - thumbnails (per the AAMD's size guidelines) Website -hi-res Press kits Label illustrations Banners (outdoor, building, street) Paid Advertising Other? 4. Has your fair use ever resulted in financial penalty or lawsuit?
If you can offer any insights or observations, I would love to have a conversation with you.
