From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Patricia Aufderheide Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 9:13 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Brandon Butler Subject: Re: [Videolib] Seminar on ARL code, take advantage! for your health! I strongly encourage people to attend this or other webinars being hosted around the country by ARL on the Code ( http://www.arl.org/pp/ppcopyright/codefairuse/code-calendar.shtml ). The echo chamber effect on this listserv of panic is really not healthy for anyone. The fear, panic and alarm can be alleviated tremendously by actually reading the code (among other places, at arl.org/fairuse), and if you for any reason believe that the Code does not meet the standards of the law, I encourage you to consult one of the briefings on the ARL's fair use site, or delve deeper into the legal and scholarly lit (we did) at this site: ( http://www.arl.org/pp/ppcopyright/codefairuse/further-info.shtml). But please do not scare yourselves into believing that the Code impairs the relationship between creativity and connection. It's unnecessary and harmful, to you among others. Librarians using the Code will continue to need, want and even love and pay for the work of filmmakers producing work for their patrons, while they also judiciously and appropriately employ their fair use rights (just as documentarians, journalists, scholars and other creators of work that librarians preserve and make available do). Do take the opportunity to educate yourselves; it will go far to reduce anxiety.

Early comments on Reclaiming Fair Use: "The Supreme Court has told us that fair use is one of the "traditional safeguards" of the First Amendment. As this book makes abundantly clear, nobody has done better work making sure that safeguard is actually effective than Aufderheide and Jaszi. The day we have a First Amendment Hall of Fame, their names should be there engraved in stone. --Lewis Hyde, author, Common as Air: Revolution, Art and Ownership "Reclaiming Fair Use will be an important and widely read book that scholars of copyright law will find a 'must have' for their bookshelves. It is a sound interpretation of the law and offers useful guidance to the creative community that goes beyond what some of the most ideological books about copyright tend to say."-Pamela Samuelson, University of California, Berkeley School of Law "If you only read one book about copyright this year, read Reclaiming Fair Use. It is the definitive history of the cataclysmic change in the custom and practice surrounding the fair use of materials by filmmakers and other groups." --Michael Donaldson, Esq.
