Hello! We are once again heading up Copyright Week. As usual, feel
free to send me any blogs you have that might fit any of the (very
broad) topics and we will social them around.
This year, Copyright Week will run from the 22^nd to the 26^th of
January, with each day having a theme. Don’t worry about when your
blogs are published, we will just be sharing them on those days.
Jan. 22: Public Domain
The public domain is our cultural commons and a crucial resource for
innovation and access to knowledge. Copyright should strive to
promote, and not diminish, a robust, accessible public domain.
Jan 23: Device and Digital Ownership
As the things we buy increasingly exist either in digital form or as
devices with software, we also find ourselves subject to onerous
licensing agreements and technological restrictions. If you buy
something, you should be able to truly own it – meaning you can learn
how it works, repair it, remove unwanted features, or tinker with it
to make it work in a new way.
Jan 24: Copyright and AI
The growing availability of AI, especially generative AI trained on
datasetts that include copyrightable material, has raised new debates
about copyright law. It’s important to remember the limitations of
copyright law in giving the kind of protections creators are looking for.
Jan 25: Free Expression and Fair Use
Copyright policy should encourage creativity, not hamper it. Fair use
makes it possible for us to comment, criticize, and rework our common
culture.**
Jan 26: Copyright Enforcement as a Tool of Censorship
Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right essential to a
functioning democracy. Copyright should encourage more speech, not act
as a legal cudgel to silence it.
Best,
Katharine
