These collected chapters and interviews explore the current issues
and debates about how copyright will or should adapt to meet the
practices of 21st-century creators and internet users. The book
begins with an overview of copyright law basics. It is organized by
parts that correspond to creative genres: Literary Works, Visual
Arts, Fine Art, Music, Video Games and Virtual Worlds, Fashion, and
Technology. The chapters and interviews address issues such as
copyright ownership in work created by Artificial Intelligence
(AI), the musical remix market, whether appropriation is ever a
fair use of a copyrighted work or if it is always theft, and
whether internet- based platforms should do more to deter piracy of
creators' works. Each part ends with an essay explaining the
significance of one or two landmark or trendsetting cases to help
the reader understand the practical implications of the law.
Written to be accessible to both lay and legal audiences, this
unique collection addresses contemporary legal issues that all
creators need to understand and will be essential reading for
artists, designers, and musicians as well as the lawyers who
represent them.
Documentary photography is undergoing an unprecedented
transformation as it adapts to the impact of digital technology,
social media and new distribution methods. In this book,
photographer and educator Michelle Bogre contextualizes these
changes by offering a historical, theoretical and practical
perspective on documentary photography from its inception to the
present day. Documentary Photography Reconsidered is structured
around key concepts, such as the photograph as witness, as
evidence, as memory, as narrative and as a vehicle for activism and
social change. Chapters include in-depth interviews with some of
the world's leading contemporary practitioners, demonstrating the
wide variety of different working styles, techniques and topics
available to new photographers entering the field. Every key
concept is illustrated with work from a range of innovative,
influential and often under-represented photographers, giving a
flavor of the depth and range of projects from the history of this
global art form. There are also creative projects designed to spark
ideas and build skills, to help you conceive, develop and produce
your own meaningful documentary projects. The book is supported by
a companion website, which includes in-depth video interviews with
featured practitioners.
You want to look through the lens of your camera and change the
world. You want to capture powerful moments in one click that will
impact the minds of other people. Photographic images are one of
the most popular tools used to advocate for social and
environmental awareness. This can be as close to home as drug use,
prostitution, or pollution or as far away as famine, war, and the
plight of refugees and migrant workers. One well-known example of
an activist photographer would be landscape photographer Ansel
Adams, who trudged to Washington with stunning images of the
American west to advocate protecting these areas. His images and
testimony were instrumental in creating the National Park System
and garnering specific protection for Yellowstone National Park.
More recently Robert Glenn Ketchum's images of Alaska's Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge raised awareness of why this area should
be protected. Nigel Barker's seal photographs advocates against
seal clubbing. What is your cause and how can you use your camera
to make the world a better place?This book provides a comprehensive
theory of, and history of, photography as activism. It also
includes interviews with contemporary photographers. It is a call
to action for young photographers to become activists, a primer of
sorts, with advice for how to work with NGOs and non-profits, how
to work safely in conflict zones and with suggestions for
distribution on websites, blogs, and interactive agencies.
