see this article on the work someone did to license some songs for a cover
cd :
http://www.cleverjoe.com/articles/music_copyright_law.html

For public performance of a song on youtube , it would fall under copyright:

Editor communities do not have any fundamental rights to choose how
MediaWiki is configured. However, the Foundation's goals are closely
aligned with those of the communities, and the Foundation respects the
central role communities play in the success of the projects, and so
the Foundation has usually honoured such configuration requests.

In this case, I would recommend a process of negotiation. Detail your
concerns in Bugzilla, and give the developers time to respond to them.
A premature vote on the issue would make compromise difficult. The
Foundation has spent a lot of time and money on the Vector skin, and
it would be a pity to see it thrown away.

Re: [Foundation-l] final (*) strategy office hours on Tuesday

2010-06-28 Thread susanpgardner
I'm actually not sure if I managed to get scheduled for office hours anytime 
soon -- James has been a bit swamped with board meeting prep, so I haven't 
asked him.

But I'll CC Cary and James on this note, and maybe they can get it fitted into 
my sked sometime pre-Wikimania.  That'd be good, I think, since the 2010-11 
plan will be published soon, and I'd be happy to talk about it.

(I'm in Madrid pre-Wikimania too, which would make Euro-centric office hours 
way more doable for me than they normally are.)

Thanks,
Sue

The "office hours" (a Q&A session with a particular member of WMF
staff) are different from the "strategy office hours" (a weekly
meeting of anyone interested in the strategy project). The strategy
office hours are coming to an end, but the office hours will continue.

It *is* a violation, and that is a part of the problem.  The bloody 
awful YouTube singer does, however, receive performance copyrights for 
what he does.  Copyright by default means that anything, however bad or 
trivial, has copyrights; this includes the weekly flyer from your local 
supermarket. For all of the faults of US copyright law there was much 
positive to be said about the former registration and renewal system.

I see it as more between content father creators and filial publishers 
than between content creators alone. Since the general public's holy 
ghost had no dog in the fight it had no part in the eventual 
agreements.  Copyright was a social contract between creators and 
publishers, and that still underlies its philosophy in common law 
countries.  Leave it to the  French to fuck up the balance by 
associating it with the rights of man and moral rights!

Now the public does have an interest in the fight, but mostly without 
any interest in making money out of it. That calls for a review of what 
copyright is all about from the ground up. That's a far more substantial 
discussion than the enforcement discussions that the publishers would 
prefer.  It's the publishers, not the creators, that stand to lose the 
most; they have every reason to see the holy ghost kicked out of the 
trinity.

In theory at least, the laws were there primarily to protect the 
creators, not the publishers.  Enforcement of copyright law should 
primarily be the responsibility of the owner of the right, not of the 
state except in the case of egregious and wilful violation where a 
higher burden of proof would also prevail.  The other point is that 
damages should need to be proven with evidence, and should in no way 
depend on speculative analysis about what the public might want to see 
or hear.  It serves no-one (except lawyers) when the costs of legal 
actions far exceed actual damages.

[Foundation-l] Self-determination of language versions in questions of skin?

2010-06-28 Thread Martin Maurer
Hello,

I posted this yesterday at wikitech-l and was told to ask this
question here at foundation-l.

I'm a member of the German language Wikipedia community and have a
question that no-one could give me a definite answer to so far. I hope
someone here can answer it, or point me to where I should go to get a
definite answer.

The question is, what level of self-determination do the 260 language
versions of Wikipedia have as to the design of their user interfaces
(skins)? Can individual wikis choose independently modifications of
their skins, and which of the available skins to use as the default
for unregistered users, or is this controlled centrally by the
Foundation?

For backgrund, this question arose after the German language Wikipedia
(de.wikipedia.org) was switched from Monobook to Vector as the default
skin on the 10th of June 2010, resulting in considerable criticism
from the community. On the more sober side of the debate, it was asked
whether it would be theoretically possible to return to Monobook as
the default skin, at least for some time until the biggest known
issues with Vector have been fixed. Under the theoretical scenario
that a majority voted for a return to Monobook as the default skin,
would it be possible at all to switch it back? Or would the Foundation
not permit that?

The question seems to be a very fundamental one and I would also
appreciate insights into the big picture. How independent are the
language versions? To what degree can they govern themselves and to
what degree are they bound by decisions made centrally by the
Foundation?

Thanks,
Martin

Re: [Foundation-l] Reconsidering the policy "one language - one Wikipedia"

2010-06-28 Thread Ting Chen
Hello Ziko,

speaking for myself. I am for such an approach. But I would also like to 
see such a project, because it is so important, to be prepared 
carefully. The suggestions is not made the first time, and last time 
when the suggetion was on meta, it was discussed until no one can give 
it a chance anymore.

I also don't see such a project really as a compititor to the "adult" 
Wikipedia. I think both projects can benefit from each other alot.

Now one step back. Encyclopedia for kids is not new. A lot of classic 
encyclopedia has their kid version. This shows that a kid encyclopedia 
is not just an encyclopedia in "dumn" language. Contrarily, I think a 
kid encyclopedia is far more challenging to write, because you need more 
pedagogic skills. And building up such skills by our contributors can 
again benefit Wikipedia. There are also other online kid encyclopedia 
from which we can learn from their experiences. I definitively would 
like to see what Robert would find out in this respect and how his 
research can encourage us or help us in this new endeavor.

Greetings
Ting

Old bullshit never dies. I was just reading an article in a similar 
vein, "The Ethics of Copyright" by Grant Allen in the December 1880 
issue of /Macmillan's Magazine/.  It still hasn't grown any roses. . . 
which says something about its lack of fertility.

By and large those who most loudly harangue about piracy fail to notice 
that interest here is seldom about reproducing the lyrics of current 
popular music, but about gathering the flotsam of intellectual efforts. 
The law of the sea clearly distinguishes between piracy and gathering 
flotsam. If the taking of music lyrics constitutes theft, no-one is more 
capable of maintaining that monopoly than the recording industry.

It often seems too that the Law of Copyright comes into conflict with 
the Law of Supply and Demand.  Your excellent articles about various 
significant poems of the English language may be excellent examples of 
original research that clearly deserves to be in Wikipedia, but demand 
is not solely derived from the excellence of an author's efforts.  The 
patent office records are replete with records of ideas that easily 
passed the test of originality, but whose utility was abysmally 
laughable.  Those inventors, like many authors, inflate the value of 
their own efforts well beyond the demand, and without regards to the 
effects of competition.  The costs of producing physical copies of even 
the best articles of literary criticism far exceeds the price that the 
market will bear.  The writer's efforts could be assembled in an 
anthology, but the the buyer needs to buy a packet of irrelevant 
material to have that one gem.  If that one gem constitutes 5% of an 
anthology, no publisher is suggesting that I could have a copy of that 
article alone for 5% of the price.

Novels may contain enough material to support separate marketing, but I 
would welcome a realistic analysis of the economics of a single sonnet.

Yes.  This is happening already, on simple and external sites like Vikidia.

I know of no such Foundation-wide policy.  Please help contribute to
guidelines you would like to see for when a new project can be created
in an existing language.

> The original fear is that a linguistic group is split

I should think that in this case the idea would be to attract new
editors.  We have a general problem of 'old' projects not being so
friendly to newbies, so trying to centralize all effort in old
projects may not be the best way to grow, in any case.

There were a lot of discussions how to transliterate "Wales" in
Serbian. As Jimmy's name is the same as the name for the country Wales
and we have traditional pronunciation/spelling Vels, it was the first
option. Then, we asked Jimmy how he would like to have his surname
transcribed, which was "Vejls" :)

It is possible to write in both alphabets on Wikipedia in Serbian. If
you want to see the article in the other alphabet, you should click on
"ћирлица" (or "latinica") tab.

Actually, we've been already discussing the idea how to spread this
all over Europe, as Alma Quatro has network in a number of European
countries where WM chapters exist.

Presently, the project is in its early stages. During the autumn we
will have much better clue for everything related to the project.

I have statistics of the project site. There are ~80 unique visits
today, of which ~20 in the last 30 minutes. 80% of all visits are
direct (other 20% are from this mailing list, from Wikipedia Signpost
and similar).
