--- ARSC PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP 2012 --- The Education and Training Committee of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections presents "Copyright and Sound Recordings," a workshop on copyright and related issues for sound recordings. The workshop will be held on Wednesday, May 16, as part of the 46th annual ARSC Conference in Rochester, New York, May 16-19, 2012. Peter Hirtle, Intellectual Property Officer for the Cornell University Library, will join other speakers in providing an in-depth look at copyright and related issues: -- intellectual and performance rights; -- what can be done with post-1972 U.S. and post-1923 foreign sound recordings under Section 108 of the U.S. Copyright Act; -- determining the current copyright status of a recording using the Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) and other tools; -- copyright outside the U.S., including the recent European Union copyright extension and its implications; -- alternatives to traditional copyright schemes, such as Creative Commons licensing; and -- other legal issues in sound archives. The workshop is open to ARSC members and non-members alike. It will be useful for anyone who collects, produces, researches, or otherwise works with sound recordings of any age or genre, helping to unravel the thicket of legal and other issues that surround recordings.
