Ted,
This is very interesting. As an education major, we were lectured frequently on fair use and copyright guidelines. Now in the undergrad course I teach, we discuss copyright and fair use as well.
It seems to me that once a technology or book or source reaches its "tipping point", only then does copyright an issue. Everything goes back to money and power.
Great presentation! Way to put a new spin on an old idea :)
Ted,
I really enjoyed your Free Culture presentation. I'm finding that faculty are asking the libraries for copyright information on a regular basis.
As a library system (all of UF libraries) I'd like to get more involved in the open access movement and help provide alternatives to the traditional models.
When we were discussing the Creative Commons, I remembered that the guys who started the CC spoke at a library conference I was at in 2004. Their talk was great!
Nice job with the presentation. You made me want to read the book, but it'll have to wait until the end of the semester :-)
Hi Ted,
I thought your presentation about Free Culture to be quite fascinating. I learned a bit about copyright guidelines in one of my other courses, but your presentation provided a lot more information. I also liked your powerpoint style - at first I was a bit worried about how long it was, but I think it was very effective in the end!
I was going back over our class presentations this semester Ted, and I wanted to thank you for helping better explainthe "Free Culture" and frustrating, obscure, nature of copyright laws. I hated dealing with then in my undergraduate years with my Telecommunications degree, and it doesn't look like they've gotten any easier since then. I wonder how much longer the "grey" area you refer to will exist.
Freedom! Freedom! I think it's just friggin ridiculous the amount people charge for text books. And to what end? To keep book publishers alive? The authors don't make much, at least not enough to count as a livelihood.
