The meeting focuses on copyright issues that artists and their audiences

What has been the impact of the Internet on the creative community and how

be done online? Practitioners, lawyers, legal scholars, and a critical
commentator on digital copyright law and practice come together to offer
their wisdom and experiences to those creating and using the arts online.
After an introductory keynote address by June Besek, in which she reviews
copyright basics and current key developments in digital copyright
legislation, the meeting will comprise three panels:
* Art & Work: Copyright, Contracts and Work-for-Hire
* Access & Use: Copyright, The Public Domain and the First Amendment
* Artists and Copyright: Experiences Working Online
The meeting will conclude with an open forum with questions, comments and
discussion on the issues raised by the presentations.

NINCH COPYRIGHT TOWN MEETING: NEW YORK
February 22, 2003
Digital Publishing: the Rights Issues
http://www.ninch.org/copyright/2003/nyc.report.html
Full and summary reports are now available on "Digital Publishing: the
Rights Issues," a NINCH Copyright Town Meeting, hosted and co-organized
with the College Art Association and its Committee on Intellectual Property
at the CAA conference in New York Feb 22, 2003.
The Metropolitan Museum's Susan Chun explored the expanded universe of
digital publishing that ranges from digital versions of known forms to
digital-value-added e-journals to totally new forms like image databases.
Authors face a bewildering new rights landscape but museums were authors
too (as well as rightsholders, publishers and scholars). In trying to
understand and regularize digital publication, museums were establishing
policies and best practices. But these were still early days, much was
fluid and there was "a great deal of space at the table" for scholars and
art historians to help formulate new approaches and standards. She urged
scholars "to join with us in formulating a new strategy for making our
content available to you."
CAA's Legal Counsel Jeff Cunard spoke of how in creating a digital archive
of CAA's Art Reviews as part of JSTOR, there was no need to seek
permissions as the digital publication was a complete replica of the entire
publication (so the Tasini case did not apply)> However new e-publications
are demanding rights for potential e-publication. Those rights are hard to
get and often apply for three years.
Petra Chu and Peter Trippi, producers of the new e-journal "19th-Century
Art Worldwide," cited rights violations the journal has suffered but
focused on how they manage the rights issues for images. They include more
images than most regular journals, but insisted on authors acquiring
erights and paying the fees. They do assist authors, for example by
providing a sample request form, but highlighted the burden that young
scholars face (with bills of $1500 or more for image fees for a single
article)< They called for centralized and standardized image distribution
across institutions.
What to do when permission cannot be gained or is refused? Christine Sundt
encouraged more aggressive use of fair use and not asking permission when
it was a clear fair use and gave a list of still unanswered questions about
using material in the public domain or subject to the control of artists'
heirs. Siva Vaidhyanathan asked for more breathing room for scholars and
cited the experience of many scholars and publishers not publishing
material in fear of prosecution.
Kenny Crews aligned these issues and concerns about digital publishing with
the underground issues behind the 2002 Teach Act that updates the Copyright
Act with regard to what can be legally broadcast via distance education.
The Teach Act is a very complicated one and educators are bound by a
package of requirements and restrictions. The opportunity offered to
exploit the medium and expand distance education was balanced in the Act by
an interest in safeguarding future markets for commercial digital publishing.
