Re: [Videolib] Fw: profs, students, DMCA and fair use--good news

[Jessica Rosner]

This is actually funny & ironic.since Ms. Aufderheide is a leading
proponent  of the claim that ENTIRE works are "fair use".I wonder if she
noticed the part about SMALL PORTIONS for use in critique & criticism.

Re: [Videolib] videolib Digest, Vol 32, Issue 64

[Lawrence Daressa]

I think Gary is being a little disingenuous to say that today's ruling
has absolutely nothing to do with fair use. One need merely read  UCLA's
legal brief to see that they are making a fair use claim for breaking
encryption not to use clips to "critique or comment" but to stream
entire works. 

What this sentence does is resolve a contradiction between fair use and
the DMCA. I would claim that a professor's  fair use right to use clips
trumped the DMCA all along, but I'm not a legal scholar. Today's ruling
only extends well-established fair use standards and protections to
encrypted content and, unfortunately, only for certain classes of users
(teachers, students, documentary and non-commercial filmmakers) but not
non-commercial distributors or the average citizen.

The real issue is not are teachers breaking encryption to use small
portions of films "to critique or comment on" those films but are they
screening and streaming large portions of films to "explain and
illustrate" the curriculum without paying for those rights. I think we
all know the answer to that.

Re: [Videolib] New copyright rules re: DMCA exemptions are finallyannounced

[Jessica Rosner]

It clearly states that in order to be entitled to break encryption the use
MUST be for a SMALL portion used for criticism or comment  which if nothing
else totally negates any claim that one can stream an encrypted film ( and
most DVDs have some kind of encryption) and justify it by "fair use". We
don't actually disagree on this Gary , but it is important that people who
have made that absurd claim see that it is now in black and white that you
can NOT legally do that.

Re: [Videolib] New copyright rules re: DMCA exemptions are finally announced

[Lawrence Daressa]

I hope Chris Lewis will forward these clear guidelines to his colleagues
Pat Aufderheide of the Center for Social Media at American University
and  Peter Jazy of the American University Law School. It may help them
clarify their position on whether every educational use of copyrighted
material, in whole or in part, ipso facto constitutes a transformative
and hence fair use.

Although this ruling specifically addresses the breaking of encryption
under the DMCA, I think we can infer that Librarian of Congress'
definition of the exemption is intended to permit circumvention in the
case of "fair uses" as historically understood. 

The Librarian's language restricts circumvention to "incorporation of
small portions of motion pictures into new works for the purpose of
criticism or comment."  This reaffirms that only small portions of a
work may be used under a fair use claim, only enough quotation to permit
criticism of or comment on the work quoted. Thus claims, such as UCLA's,
that it may break DVD encryption to stream entire texts simply because
they are being used educationally are ruled out. 

More importantly, the Librarian limits the purposes for which encryption
may be broken to "criticism and comment." This does not permit
circumvention simply to "explain or illustrate" what the work itself
explains or illustrates. This distinction is indeed academic because
educational texts are explicitly intended to "explain and illustrate"
educational points. Hence, their use to do so would, on its face, not be
q transformative use but something closer to plagiarism, not quotation
but substitution, in short, copying a copyrighted work to circumvent not
encryption but payment. 

This provides narrower grounds for breaking encryption than I, as a
documentary producer, would prefer. I would hope that copyrighted
material could be incorporate into a remix or mash-up, not just to
critique or comment on the material quoted but merely to transform it,
for example, through video manipulation or superimposition. This would,
I admit, require a rather expansive interpretation of "comment." .

Very sensible. It allows you circumvent the DMCA in order to use a small
portion of a work for a class etc. I especially appreciate that it
really
spells out this is a small portion and for a "transformative" purpose.

Re: [Videolib] New copyright rules re: DMCA exemptions arefinallyannounced

[Linda Tadic]

OK, I read the sections in the Registrar of Copyright's Recommendations (found 
at the original link http://www.copyright.gov/1201/) that relate to this topic. 
 Pages 35-43 explain why they are purposely not including language about 
infringing and noninfringing uses of the content in documentary and 
noncommercial works. 

I agree that this is a good step forward, but think the discrete issues need to 
be stressed to avoid confusion by people first learning about the new rule.

  Actually Gary I disagree. I think this rule reaffirms the terms of what "Fair 
Use" is considering you have a least one major institution and more than a few 
academics claiming it actually can cover an ENTIRE feature work. Here is the 
wording in the new rule (or whatever we call it)

  "in order to accomplish the incorporation of short portions of motion 
pictures into new works for the purpose of criticism or comment"

  Now I grant you "small portion" is still a bit vague but pretty clear it is 
NOT an entire work.

No I read it that way too again provided it follows the standard short

Re: [Videolib] New copyright rules re: DMCA exemptions are finallyannounced

[ghandman]

Well, I think the one area in which we didn't gain as much ground as we
would have liked is the application of exemptions to students.  These
revisions at least give a nod to student need to circumvent for academic
uses, even though the exemption is limited to film studies students
(really and truly stupid, give the strong arguments we all made for
film/video being  pan-disciplinary resources).

Re: [Videolib] New copyright rules re: DMCA exemptions are finallyannounced

[John Streepy]

Could it not be interpreted that a student in another discipline making a video 
for a class project will also have this protection under the second and third 
sections?  Students could argue that a class project in history or some other 
field of study creating a video is either a documentary film or a noncommercial 
video, or am I just reading too much in.  This is great news.

Transitus profusum est nocens!




>>> Linda Tadic  7/26/2010 10:52 AM >>>

The new rules allow circumvention for the "incorporation of short portions of 
motion pictures into new works for the purpose of criticism or comment" in 
three instances: 

  

(i) Educational uses by college and university professors and by college and 
university film and media studies students; [I assume this means a professor in 
any discipline, but if a student does it they must be in film/media studies 
programs, not history, languages, etc.] 
(ii) Documentary filmmaking;
(iii) Noncommercial videos 

I interpret these last two exclusions to mean the DVDs can be circumvented in 
order to obtain the excerpts for "criticism or comment," but doesn't say this 
is part of Fair Use. In other words, the method of obtaining the clip is now OK 
(circumvention), but it doesn't say that the content doesn't need to be 
licensed. What do others think?

Very sensible. It allows you circumvent the DMCA in order to use a small 
portion of a work for a class etc. I especially appreciate that it really 
spells out this is a small portion and for a "transformative" purpose.

Re: [Videolib] New copyright rules re: DMCA exemptions are finallyannounced

[ghandman]

yeah...I think the implicit understanding is that the ability to
circumvent for the purposes of exercising fair use rights to extract for
certain purposes (such as teaching) is what this whole shebang is about in
the first place.

Re: [Videolib] New copyright rules re: DMCA exemptions are finallyannounced

Actually Gary I disagree. I think this rule reaffirms the terms of what
"Fair Use" is considering you have a least one major institution and more
than a few academics claiming it actually can cover an ENTIRE feature work.
Here is the wording in the new rule (or whatever we call it)

"in order to accomplish the incorporation of short portions of motion
pictures into new works for the purpose of criticism or comment"

Now I grant you "small portion" is still a bit vague but pretty clear it is
NOT an entire work.

Re: [Videolib] New copyright rules re: DMCA exemptions are finallyannounced

[Shoaf,Judith P]

I notice also that the restriction on the ownership of the DVDs in question has 
gone away, which is marvelous.

Doesn't the wording imply that the exception is for circumventing access 
controls precisely in cases where fair use would normally apply? I.e., "short 
clips" of the sort one could use from a VHS tape under fair use?

Re: [Videolib] New copyright rules re: DMCA exemptions are finallyannounced

[Jessica Rosner]

I think it is kind of obvious. If you needed to actually license the
material then the rights holder would presumably have granted you permission
to circumvent the DMCA or provided material directly. I believe the whole
point of this was to allow "fair use" to apply because the DMCA made only
the on exemption for it ( Film Studies classes)

Honestly I think this a win, win. It allows clips to be used for educational
(and some other uses) but makes it very clear it has to be a small portion
for a transformative use. I know the studios fought it though I thought that
was a very bad use of their time. Rights holders should be content because
it merely allows real "fair use" to work for encrypted materials while again
making it clear it is only for a small portion of a work.

Re: [Videolib] New copyright rules re: DMCA exemptions are finallyannounced

[ghandman]

As you've commented, Linda, there are really TWO discreet issues at hand:

1.  Breaking of circumvention for the purpose of extracting clips--covered
by the DMCA and now a lot more liberal than previously

2.  Fair use--under which issues such as quantity, length, nature of use,
etc. fall.

The recent ruling concerns the former exclusively and has nothing to do
with the latter.

Re: [Videolib] New copyright rules re: DMCA exemptions are finallyannounced

[Linda Tadic]

The new rules allow circumvention for the "incorporation of short portions of 
motion pictures into new works for the purpose of criticism or comment" in 
three instances: 

  (i) Educational uses by college and university professors and by college and 
university film and media studies students; [I assume this means a professor in 
any discipline, but if a student does it they must be in film/media studies 
programs, not history, languages, etc.]

(ii) Documentary filmmaking;
(iii) Noncommercial videos

I interpret these last two exclusions to mean the DVDs can be circumvented in 
order to obtain the excerpts for "criticism or comment," but doesn't say this 
is part of Fair Use. In other words, the method of obtaining the clip is now OK 
(circumvention), but it doesn't say that the content doesn't need to be 
licensed. What do others think?

  Very sensible. It allows you circumvent the DMCA in order to use a small 
portion of a work for a class etc. I especially appreciate that it really 
spells out this is a small portion and for a "transformative" purpose.

Re: [Videolib] FAQ on DMCA

[Brewer, Michael]

I think the Exceptions for Instructors eTool that I created with the 
help/support of the Copyright Subcommittee of ALA's Office for Information 
Technology Policy is a good place to start.

http://librarycopyright.net/etool/

I'd love to hear what you think of it and if you end up using it at your 
institution.  We make it available through a creative commons license, so you 
can put it on your own institution's servers and add your own contact 
information ,etc. if you like.

Very sensible. It allows you circumvent the DMCA in order to use a small 
portion of a work for a class etc. I especially appreciate that it really 
spells out this is a small portion and for a "transformative" purpose.

[Videolib] FAQ on DMCA

[CROWLEY, CHRISTINE]

Okay, pardon me if I missed this issue being dealt with earlier this
summer. I have been out of town a lot and have not followed up on some
threads. 

I am looking for an FAQ for the DMCA and TEACH act for higher ed
faculty. You know, where they think they can grab a DVD off the shelf
and have it broadcast over Mediasite or some such service for distance
ed students. Or that they can stream it completely in Blackboard. Is
anyone aware of such? Please supply URL and I will send them and you my
eternal gratitude!
