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 cycle has already been closed. However, the website states that the summer of 2018 the applications will reopen for the 2019 – 2020 applications. The amount that is approved is up to 1500.00 dollars (Library Research Grants, 2018).

The third grant I found was through the American Folklife Center. Depending on the approval of the 2018 Federal Budget they will invite people to apply for a research grant for artist up to $35,000.00 dollars. The period for enrollment would be from July 1, 2018 to June 30th, 2019. It is for “which will support new, original, independent field research into the culture and traditions of contemporary American workers and/or occupational groups found within the United States. These projects must include interviews with workers. Applicants must submit proposals via email” (Research Awards, 2018).

These three research grant facilities are based on intellectual freedom, copyright laws and based on artists rights. The artist that create their personal works don’t want them stolen so some of these artists grants can help them get their idea or art patents or copyrighted to help protect them.

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...
