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.

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

Ethics and Copyrights do they mix?

Rebecca F. Ganz,A Portrait of the Artist's Estate as a Copyright Problem, 41 Loy. L.A. L. Rev. 739 (2008). Available at: http://digitalcommons.lmu.edu/llr/vol41/iss2/9                This article was written to explain how the definition of fair use is not current and needs to have some work done on the definition to be able to comply with the copyright laws. The main example or argument in this article is referencing how the heirs or families of the original artists are taking advantage of the system. It specifically speaks about how the grandson and the last living heir of James Joyce was abusing his power to keep his grandfathers work and his sister’s information from people being able to use. He would send threatening letters and demands that they stop using the information. He pushed it far enough that they ended up taking the case to court and Carol Loeb Shloss won the case and Stephen the grandson had to pay her attorney fees. It also addressed the heirs of the Wal
