As we complete the final phases of our NDIIPP project, we are pleased to share another of our reports on issues relating to preserving digitall public television.
"Intellectual Property and Copyright Issues Relating to the Preservation and Future Accessibility of Digital Public Television Programs <http://www.thirteen.org/ptvdigitalarchive/files/2009/10/IP-Report-fin.pdf> ," is now available. It was written and edited by Kathleen Maguire (NYU), Nan Rubin (WNET), and Kara Van Malssen (NYU) with the PDPTV Copyright Working Group. This report explores the particular set of copyright and intellectual property (IP) issues that govern - and often limit - the use of digital public television programs when the broadcast permissions have expired. It also explores the connected question of how the existing copyright laws restrict the ability of archives to adopt functional practices for digital preservation. We'd love to hear your comments on this paper. Please send feedback and comments to me! http://www.thirteen.org/ptvdigitalarchive/files/2009/10/IP-Report-fin.pdf Best, Nan Rubin * * * * Nan Rubin, Outgoing Project Director Preserving Digital Public Television WNET.org/Thirteen 450 W. 33rd St. New York, NY 10001 212-560-2925 (direct line) 212-560-2833 fax [email protected] www.thirteen.org/ptvdigitalarchive VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
