desktopmediaPermission

or may I speak with you about our product or services?

According to wikipedia, permission-based marketing is a term used in e-marketing. Marketers will ask permission before they send

advertisements to prospective customers. It is used by some Internet marketers, email marketers, and telephone marketers. It requires that

people first “opt-in”, rather than allowing people to “opt-out” only after the advertisements have been sent. The term was coined by Seth Godin

in his book of the same name.

Marketers feel that this is a more efficient use of their resources because advertisements are not sent to people that are not interested in the

product. This is one technique used by marketers that have a personal marketing orientation. They feel that marketing should be done on a one-

to-one basis rather than using broad aggregated concepts like market segment or target market.

according to Wikinomics, the native feels entitled to their tools as much

a part of their lives as breathing -- if they want to take their iPhone apart

and put it back together again, so be it.

according to pew internet they distribute content

(images, journal entries, blogs, videos, etc.) freely and without restriction

desktopmediaCopyright (from the viewpoint of the law)

What Is Copyright? Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States

(title 17, U. S. Code) to the authors of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works.

Who Can Claim Copyright?Copyright protection subsists from the time the work is created in fixed form. The copyright in

the work of authorship immediately becomes the property of the author who createdthe work. Only the author or those deriving their rights through the author can rightfully

claim copyright. In the case of works made for hire, the employer and not the employee is considered to be the author.

desktopmediaFair Use (from the viewpoint of education)

According to Wikipedia: Fair use is a doctrine in United States copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, such as use

for scholarship or review. It provides for the legal, non-licensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another author’s work under a four-factor balancing test.

Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 107, reprinted here:“Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C. § 106 and 17 U.S.C. § 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by

any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular

case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:

1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a

whole; and 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.”

There are 4 major permissions that are contained in Creative Commons licenses:

* Attribution (by) requires users to attribute a work’s original author. All Creative Commons

licenses contain this option, but some now-deprecated licenses did not contain this

component.

* Authors can either not restrict modification, or use Share-alike (sa), which is a copyleft

requirement that requires that any derived works be licensed under the same license, or No

derivatives (nd), which requires that the work not be modified.

* Non-commercial (nc) requires that the work not be used for commercial purposes.

As of the current versions, all Creative Commons licenses allow the “core right” to redistribute

a work for non-commercial purposes without modification. The Non-commercial and No

derivatives options will make a work non-free.

Moderated Exercise: define content provider

3 forms of unlawful content: copyright infringement, defamation, and privacy violation

US government does not advocate regulating Internet content itself, only for the sake of preventing fraud do they consider government intervention

appropriate. This does not necessarily apply to other countries.

summary of 508In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act to require Federal

agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Inaccessible technology interferes with an

individual’s ability to obtain and use information quickly and easily. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology,

to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities, and to encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these

goals.
