Reflections

Reflections             Initially the topic I chose was intellectual freedom which I believed would be an easy topic because there is such a discussion surrounding it currently. However, one of the first things that I learned was that there is such a blur between copyright laws, intellectual freedom, and fair use that sometimes it is hard to keep it all straight. The man issue I was looking at when I started my blog was the hard line or use and receiving credit for your creation and where does it become a legal issue. One example for me was my friend painted some blue birds and she claimed it just was the birds and nature. Well she was selling her art work in a little boutique and someone who worked at Painting with a Twist saw it and said her art work was too close to the one that did at their store. They sent her a letter saying she couldn’t sell that painting. However, when does that encroach on her intellectual freedom to create a nature seen that could close to a thousand oth

"Art, Crime and Criminals: Painting Fresh Pictures of Art Theft, Fraud and Plunder." Review. Http://www.law.qmul.ac.uk/events/podcasts/painting-fresh-pictures-of-art-theft-fraud-and-plunder/ (audio blog), June 21, 2016. Accessed April 4, 2018. http://www.law.qmul.ac.uk/events/podcasts/painting-fresh-pictures-of-art-theft-fraud-and-          plunder/.                This seminar was based more on actual art theft than the intellectual side of art theft. However, many of the points that were brought up were applicable to both types of art theft. The main topics of this seminar were about art theft, vandalism, and copying of someone else’s work. There were many speakers from law schools, the FBI, Interpol, Universities, lawyers, police, and art recovery specialist and insurance agents.   They were each allotted twenty minutes to speak. They came from Germany, France, Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. There was a quite a large amount of question and ans

Copyright Learning Video

TEDtalksDirector. YouTube. June 15, 2010. Accessed March 27, 2018. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoX-YihV_ew. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoX-YihV_ew This video is a very good example of how copyright and fair use work. It is an excellent TED talk about how one of the biggest video sites in the world handles monitoring for copyright issues and what they constitute as fair use. They also give a great explanation about how someone can use a song in a homemade video and the people/person that owns the rights to the music let them post the video and use it to get credit towards something else that can help earn them money. The example shown in the video is Sony.  I chose this film because it explained it in very simple terms and gave great examples that everyone could understand and learn from. It also explained it using major company’s names so that it was possible for anyone to know whom they were talking about. The recording was most useful because sometimes co

Funding / Budget

-
Funding Blogging is information but can also be a source to learn about new and different areas of interest and crimes.   Since my blog is focused on Intellectual freedom and the art that comes from intellectual creations and how the copyright laws can help protect artist from theft or copying. The first grant I researched was from the Alfred B. Sloan Foundation. The association of research libraries applied for the grant to discover and create software to help distinguish fair use and copyright, and intellectual freedom. The program focuses on digital technology which is how most art gets stolen from one artist to another. The amount is $315,100. This grant offers you several different amounts and options to apply for money to show your research. You fill out an application and if they approve you the amount will be granted (Grants, 2018). The second grant I researched was the Getty Foundation. They specialize in library research for artist. The time frame for this cyc

Accessed March 05, 2018. http://repository.cmu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1074&context=lib_science . The Ethics of Open Access and Copyright Infringement This research article was looking at the ethics of opening research scholarly journals to be open access and the companies that hold the copyrights to them which can change and prevent people from being able to see the research articles. It also looks at the reason that many companies do hold the copyrights so close and take advantage of them. This article is trying to prove about how open access to all scholarly journals could benefit society and their research and learning efforts. The article also addresses how research is slow because they don’t believe that many researchers understand what open access is all about. The IAD framework i
