Copyright Law Of 1976 Summary

According to Mary Juetten, founder and CEO of Traklight and co-chair of the Arizona Technology Council’s Law and Technology Committee, in her article “How to Avoid Copyright Infringement,” she provides several methods to avoid copyright infringement. First, people should use caution if it’s not their original work, even if there is no copyright symbol. If you were to use the material, look for the license or permission before using anything that is not yours. Second, people should re-read and review the licensing terms (or any agreements) carefully to avoid issues. For example, if you bought an article from Harvard Business Review, you are only allowed to use for your own and cannot re-sell the article to others or you will received a fine.

Pre-1972 sound recordings are considered classic and legendary, which should be respected and protected. However, digital (terrestrial) radio companies continue to exploit it as public domain and do not feel obligated to pay out royalties to its copyright owner(s). Under the Copyright Act 1909, all sound recordings are protected by state law, but after the Copyright Act of 1972, sound recordings created after February of 1972 were federally protected (Brook 126). This lead to the question: What about the federal protection of sound recordings created prior to the Copyright Act of 1972? Pre-1972 sound recordings are not federally protected, meaning copyright owners are exempted from receiving the same rights as post-1972 copyright owners. Since

Fair Use is a concept in the Copyright Act. It states a fair use is copying any protected material (texts, sounds, images, etc.) for a limited and transformative purpose, like criticizing, commenting, parodying, news reporting, or teaching the copyrighted work. Under the US copyright laws, fair use is not an infringement of copyright (Copyright.gov, n.d.). There are two fair use laws that allow copyright material to be used in an educational setting: Face-to-Face Law, known as the classroom use exemption, requires you to be in a classroom or similar place of instruction. Be there in person, engaged in face-to-face activities, and be at a nonprofit educational institution. The Online Law known as the Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization

Intellectual property represents ideas created by minds of humans that require certain rights for their use. Intellectual property gives companies a competitive advantage and attracts the attention of other business partners and investors (Lee, 2016). With such importance, it is necessary for the law to protect these ideas from being used by unauthorized individuals. To shield from this, trade secrets, patents, and copyrights are used to protect the ownership of intellectual property (Legal Information Institute).

The court argued that the Copyright Act did not make Grokster or the other companies responsible for infringement, but secondary liability doctrines came into play. The software that was distributed over large areas would be challenging to find and deal with every single violator one at a time. At the time the only right thing to do was to rule against the software distributor for secondary liability. At this point, the software companies were held accountable for making profits off advertisement, and encouraging such acts of violating copyrights.

Works made for hire is an exception to the general rule of copyright ownership. It is a category, defined by copyright law, which states that the author of a work is the commissioning party, not the actual creator of the work. Within this category, there are two classifications: (1) works created by an employee within the scope of employment and (2) specially commissioned works (Bouchoux, 2012).

With the integration of technology, students get direct, individualized instruction from the computer. This form of supplemental teaching allows them to engage with the information at times that are most convenient for them and helps them become more self-directed in the learning process. It also gives the teacher more time to accomplish classroom objectives, while freeing them up to help the students who might be struggling with certain lessons.

The Law of Copyright and its historical development - Tracing back the historical development of copyright protection of the authors work, the idea of copyright protection only began to emerge with the invention of printing, which made it possible for the literary works to be duplicated by mechanical processes. Prior to that, hand copying was the sole mean of reproduction. Following Gutenberg 's invention of printing press in 1436 in Germany, the necessity of protecting printers and booksellers was recognized there. Consequently, German Principalities granted certain privileges to printers and publishers and also authors. The art of printing spread quickly in Europe, King Richard Ill in 1483 allowed foreigners to import manuscripts and

There is a lot of controversy about intellectual property and its application to software. There are many difficult, fundamental questions that arise, such as exactly what aspects of a piece of software should be protected under copyright or patent. [5] Despite the fact that applying existing laws to software is not very straight-forward, some sort of legal protection for intellectual property is necessary, as it provides a significant amount of positive outcomes, which will be described further in this paper. We will argue that the legal protection for intellectual property is an ethical obligation from a rule utilitarian ethical framework because it promotes innovation and economic

Interactivity in our lives is very important especially in the learning process between learners and instructors and the learning content. Interaction can be used in different teaching environments like formal and informal education. The learner can interact with the teacher in order to get some knowledge. (Bernard et al., 2009; Ke, 2013) As a student, the interaction is really the crucial element for their fundamental knowledge and emotional development in traditional teaching methods. (Song and McNary (2011)). Interactivity can be used in both entertainment and education, in particular online learning. Due to the rapid expansion and progress of Technology and the Internet, online learning became very popular in higher education. (Ke & Kwak, 2013; Wei &Chou, 2014). It can enable learners and instructors to detour the daily or weekly regular teaching methods and instead get their knowledge online. Online Learning can also enable learners to get knowledge and skills over a variety of different learning applications without having limits on time and space. (Allen & Seaman, 2013; Kaymak & Horzum , 2013). As a result, interaction is one of the most important factor for a successful learning experience. (Cho & Kim, 2013; Garner & Bol, 2011; Kang & Im, 2013; Richardson & Swan, 2003; Watson, 2013). A sub-category of interaction is the interactive video which is a new technology that integrates the management of infomation and the desicion making of computers with the addition of

The universities of Takshila and Nalandaare great centers of learning in the early world, teaming with students and teachers from all parts of the world, not to say about the great Gurukul tradition in the age-old past.
