Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions

2007

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research". If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use", that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

Nonreciprocal magneto-optic waveguiding structures: analysis with magneto-optic rigorous coupled wave analysis (Conference Presentation)

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a, user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use" that user may be liable for copyright infringement, This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.

A Cobweb of Exception to Copyright Law for Research Purposes

Access to copyrighted materials and resources for research purposes have been increasingly conducted across borders. In certain circumstances, access to copyright materials that may be needed for research purposes may be restricted due to copyright law. International copyright conventions do provide exceptions to copyright law for research purposes as what has been generally covered under the ‘three step test’. However, this rule may be interpreted either narrowly or flexibly by member countries, which leads to different countries adapting different laws pertaining to it. This paper analyzes the Malaysian copyright provision relating to copyright exceptions that may be used for research purposes and its recent amendments made in 2012 as compared to Australia and the United Kingdom provisions. This paper will discuss the implications of the recent amendment and further explains the future direction researchers could take to ensure the legality of their actions when using copyrighted ...

Copyright questions asked by libraries

Library Management, 2001

Describes the history, purpose and membership of the Lis-Copyseek e-mail discussion list. Reports on an analysis of the year 2000 Lis-Copyseek archives that was performed to gain an understanding of the copyright questions faced by libraries. Concludes that traffic on the list has increased considerably since the list's inception. The majority of concerns relate to copyright in the print environment, in particular the regulations concerning short loan collections and course packs. Provides examples of questions and topics libraries are discussing on the list. Recommends that further copyright assistance be provided to libraries trying to work within current regulations.

Technique for Protecting Copyrights of Digital Data for 3-D Printing, and Its Application to Low Infill Density Objects

We evaluated our previously proposed technique to protect copyrights of digital data for 3-D printing. The technique embeds copyright information into not only digital data but also fabricated objects and enables the information to be reads to reveal possible copyright violations. In this study, copyright information was embedded into low infill density objects by constructing their inside with high infill density areas, and thermography was used for readout. An experiment was conducted to examine whether high infill density areas can be recognized from thermal images. The results indicated that they can be. We demonstrated that our technique is applicable to low infill density objects.

Report of the United States, in Adjuncts and Alternatives to Copyright (General Report to ALAI Congress 2001)

* Although earlier U.S. copyright statutes did attach greater significance to categories of work, U.S. courts were even then sometimes reluctant to find restrictions in protection as a result of an assessment of the "artistic" nature of the work in question. See Bleistein v. Donaldson Lithographing Co., 188 U.S. 239 (1903) (discussing the 1874 act). But see Bailie v. Fisher, 258 F.2d 425, 426 (D.C. Cir. 1958) (cardboard star with a circular center bearing the photograph of an entertainer not a "work of art" within scope of Copyright Act because not within "the historical and ordinary conception of the term art") (citations omitted).
