Copyright Term Extension Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Prior to the 1976 copyright act, many copyrighted literary works, movies, and fictional characters were soon to pass into the public domain due to their 56 year maximum copyright terms. With the passage of the 1976 copyright act, Mickey Mouse, along with early animated short films such as Steamboat Willie and Plane Crazy, would not enter the public domain until 2000 at the earliest due to their new 75 year copyright terms. The act also affected copyright terms for copyrighted works published prior to January 1, 1978, increasing their term of protection by 20 years as well. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sonny_Bono_Copyright_Term_Extension_Act   (1310 words)

Copyright - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Copyright concepts are perceived to be under challenge in the modern technological era, from the increasing use of peer to peer filesharing, to the downward trend in profits for major record labels and the movie industry. Copyright is a type of intellectual property; designs or industrial designs may be a separate or overlapping form of intellectual property in some jurisdictions. Copyright is a set of exclusive rights granted by government for a limited time to regulate the use of a particular form, way or manner in which an idea or information is expressed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Copyright   (5898 words)

Wikipedia:Copyrights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Crown copyright protection in published material lasts for fifty years from the end of the year in which the material was first published. If you use part of a copyrighted work under "fair use", or if you obtain special permission to use a copyrighted work from the copyright holder under the terms of our license, you must make a note of that fact (along with names and dates). Linking to copyrighted works is usually not a problem, as long as you have made a reasonable effort to determine that the page in question is not violating someone else's copyright. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights   (2302 words)

Wikipedia and copyright issues - Meta Copyright protection under this title is not available for any work of the United States Government, but the United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise. International copyright law is a matter of treaty, and in the hierarchy of authority, the Constitution is at the top, above treaties, and the copyright treaties don't change the "local" law in the various countries, anyway, they just make other countries recognize each others' "local" laws. The Register of Copyrights shall prescribe by regulation, as examples, specific methods of affixation and positions of the notice on various types of works that will satisfy this requirement, but these specifications shall not be considered exhaustive. meta.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia_and_copyright_issues   (7308 words)

Digital Millennium Copyright Act - Wikipedia In 2002 the U.S. Copyright Office launched a public appeal for comments on the DMCA in order "to determine whether there are particular classes of works as to which users are, or are likely to be, adversely affected in their ability to make noninfringing uses due to the prohibition on circumvention of access controls". The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) was a controversial law in the United States of America that amended title 17 of the US Code, which deals with copyright. Passed in 1998 by a unanimous vote in the United States Senate, the DMCA strengthened copyright protections substantially. www.web-dictionary.org /encyclopedia/dm/DMCA.html   (1338 words)

Wikipedia:Copyright issues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Copyright Act of 1976 extended the renewal term from 28 to 47 years for copyrights that were subsisting on January 1, 1978, or for pre-1978 copyrights restored under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA), making these works eligible for a total term of protection of 75 years. Under the law in effect before 1978, copyright was secured either on the date a work was published with a copyright notice or on the date of registration if the work was registered in unpublished form. The USPS does copyright theirs, and beyond which, there is a law on the books in the U.S. making it illegal to duplicate U.S. postage stamps, except for special conditions (must be different size from stamp and must be black and white). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_issues   (8880 words)

Articles - Wikipedia Items such as corporate logos, song samples, or copyrighted news photos are used with a claim of fair use. When an author contributes original material to the project, the copyright over it is retained with them, but they agree to make the work available under the GFDL. Vandalism or the minor infraction of policies may result in a warning or temporary block, while long-term or permanent blocks for prolonged and serious infractions are given by Jimmy Wales or, on its English edition, an elected Arbitration Committee. www.anfolk.com /articles/Wikipedia   (4075 words)

Avoid Copyright Paranoia - Meta Being sued, or otherwise hassled, for copyright infringement is a known risk of publication which increases as the size, scope, and variety of the published work increases. Certainly we should not endorse a laissez-faire attitude vis-a-vis copyright violations; however, we should be liberal in our interpretations of what we are allowed to do, and certainly not take any and every copyright claim at face value. Worst case scenario: A copyright holder says we are going beyond the bounds of fair use, and then we review it and decide to fight it or take it down. meta.wikipedia.org /wiki/Avoid_Copyright_Paranoia   (4965 words)

COPYRIGHT Eine Anmeldung des Copyrights bei der Library of Congress ist nicht unbedingt nötig, wird aber empfohlen. Das Copyright musste in den USA bis vor einigen Jahren, im Gegensatz zum Urheberrecht in Deutschland, explizit angemeldet werden und erlosch 75 Jahre nach der Eintragung in das zentrale Copyrightverzeichnis. Das Copyright im englisch-amerikanischen Rechtssystem findet seine Entsprechung im europäischen Urheberrecht. www.toonorama.com /encyclopedia/C/Copyright   (282 words)

Droit d'auteur - Wikipédia Le droit d'auteur et le copyright constituent deux conceptions de la propriété littéraire et artistique. La protection du copyright, elle, se limite à la sphère stricte de l'œuvre, sans considérer d'attribut moral à l'auteur en relation avec son œuvre, sauf sa paternité ; ce n'est plus l'auteur proprement dit, mais l'ayant droit qui détermine les modalités de l'utilisation d'une œuvre. En droit anglo-saxon, on utilise la notion de copyright, qui ne recouvre que la part patrimoniale du droit d'auteur (voir supra pour la distinction entre ces deux notions). fr.wikipedia.org /wiki/Copyright   (2575 words)

Wikipedia:Image copyright tags - Simple English Wikipedia It is easy to rewrite text that turns out to be copyrighted, but harder (though possible) to do the same for images. All images uploaded must have a note on the image description page saying who is allowed to use it. Putting some text on the image description page that they took it themselves, and they license it under the GFDL, is a good way to do that. simple.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags   (519 words)

United States Copyright Office - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The United States Copyright Office, a division of the Library of Congress, is the official US government body that maintains records of copyright registration in the United States.

Talk:Wikipedia and copyright issues - Meta Therefore, they simply sweep all their unsolved misteries and controversial issues to the fields of the literature as "literary" and "fiction." A researcher not belonging to the mainstream (that is atheist) is labelled as "unscholarly" and "unscientific." (Only the Inquisition is missing, and we are back in the Dark Middle Ages.) Perhaps the four most widely disputed (and most popular) issues have been scholarly shifted over to fiction: The Bible (with practically all ancient Jewish traditions), the question of Atlantis (that can be located in the Bahamas region) and the autobiography of Robinson Crusoe. The fourth issue: most encyclopaedias claim that Columbus discovered America, and they are silent about the Vikings. meta.wikimedia.org /wiki/Talk:Wikipedia_and_copyright_issues   (1176 words)
