Merryman, John Henry., and Albert E. Elsen. Law, ethics, and the visual arts. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1987. 5th Edition



            This book is an older book however, it covers the changes in the laws, copyright issues and cases that were the foundation of the laws that currently in place with regards to visual arts and copyright issues. It also speaks of some of the most prominent men and women that help contribute financially to make the progress within the government and laws to protect the arts. Especially one Texan many of us know Mr. Ross Perot.



Reason 1:



Several positive reviews from Amazon and other places. Ones positive review stated that “Since its first edition in 1979, Law, Ethics and the Visual Arts established itself as the leading art law text among law professors, students, and practitioners. This new and newly illustrated, fifth edition, revised in collaboration with Stephen K. Urice, incorporates recent changes in treaty, statutory, and case law.”



Reason 2:



Was used in Harvard Law School and excerpts are currently kept in the Harvard Law Library.



Schnackenberg, Heidi L., Edwin S. Vega, and Dustin H. Relation. 2009. "Podcasting and Vodcasting: Legal Issues and Ethical Dilemmas." Journal of Law, Ethics & Intellectual Property 2, no. 1: 1-11. Academic Search Complete, EBSCOhost (accessed February 12, 2018).



            This article is just an example of the different articles that this journal provides. It covers different forms of visual arts and voice arts and generally different forms of artistic freedom. The main article I choose was about digital freedom and the ethics and laws behind podcast and digital recordings. This article was written about 7 years ago, so it references IPODS and older equipment however, in today’s society there are so many more options and recording devices and between social media and electronic access everyone is going digital, so I believe this journal would be vital in future articles regarding laws, ethical dilemmas, and intellectual property especially since it is an everyday thing now.



Reason 1:



Journal was offered by a reputable source the TWU library. Harvard Law School Library also has a law and technology journal available.



Reason 2:



Journal is provided by the Texas A&M Law Library which is also a reputable law library.







Artists' Rights: A Guide to Copyright, Moral Rights and Other Legal Issues in the Visual Art Sphere 2015. Vol. 2. Beaverton: Ringgold Inc. http://ezp.twu.edu/docview/1657423995?accountid=7102.



            This book is a more up to date article about the rights and laws that can help protect an artist and their work. It also provides definitions and examples of what constitutes visual art. It also includes an overview of resale rights, moral rights, and most importantly art and fashion design which can be a cut throat business. This article gives an overview that encompasses most kinds of art that can help people understand the best way for them to protect themselves when they do not want their art work copied or used.



Reason 1:



 Many businesses use this book as reference and it has received positive reviews on Amazon.



Reason 2:


Book is offered at Texas A&M Law Library which is a reputable library.

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 c...

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...
