As technology and the idea of distance education is rapidly
changing, so too must the law that protects copyrighted material.
In 2003 U.S. copyright law was amended with the legislation now
known as TEACH (Technology Education and Copyright Harmonization).
Tomas Lipinski discusses these changes to copyright law and how
they may ultimately affect traditional distance classrooms.
Providing a step-by-step explanation of the law and how it impacts
these pedagogical issues, Lipinski discusses instructor ownership
issues, a general application of "fair use," and other issues that
will inevitably arise when technology, intellectual property, and
education all intersect. Tomas Lipinski is a lawyer, and he
approaches these volatile (and very new) issues from a legal
perspective. This book, however, is written in intermediate terms
that will make it accessible (as well as necessary) to the distance
educator and administrator. As the framework for distance education
and technology (particularly copyright) law is now set in place,
this book will prove an invaluable resource for years to come.
Librarians and information professionals have ethical and legal
responsibilities not only to their users, but also to the
information they make available - including the copyrighted
materials they license, loan, digitize, and deliver. Tomas
Lipinski, a library educator, licensed attorney, and frequent
presenter of copyright workshops, offers this comprehensive guide
to copyright liability issues specifically aimed at libraries and
information centers. This guide is a librarian's primer for
copyright risk management. It covers direct, contributory, and
vicarious infringement; immunity; damage remission; notice
provisions; and more. Current, practical, and authoritative,
Lipinski includes discussions of the DMCA, TEACH Act, and other
recent legislation as well as sample notices, policies, and audit
tools. His coverage of print, non-print, and new technologies (Web
sites, distance education, circulating software, e-books etc.),
makes this handbook essential for public, academic, and school
librarians.
