The test that was applied to Harper and Row was the Four Factor test to determine, if indeed it was was fair use. The first being the purpose or character of the use, in this case The Nation violated the copyright holder's commercially valuable right of first publication. Therefore The Nations intent was to benefit off the copyright holder's work first which was not a fair use. Secondly the nature of the copyrighted work, although in most cases this rule favors fair use, the work used had a substantial expressive value, if The Nation had only reported the facts in the work, they would have been in favor of fair use. The third rule applied was the amount and substantiality, in this case even with The Nation only taking a small amount it was constituted a substantial amount because the excerpt they took was the “heart of the work”. Lastly the rule applied here was the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. In other words because The Nation infringed on the original work it led to actual harm, Time Magazine who had the contract with Harper & Row canceled their publishing contract. …show more content…
Harper and Row had a contract with Time magazine and were planning to publish a story they obtained the rights for, however The Nation got a hold of it and published their work ruining the value and harming Harper and Row, who eventually lost their contact with Time. In our case, Matt’s work, which was used without permission and no recognition from Buzzfeed, constitutes as copyright infringement on his personal creation of the photo, being that it was his very own unique form of
In the majority opinion, Justice White wrote “Educators did not offend the First Amendment by exercising editorial control over the content of student speech so long as their actions were” The court also noted that the paper was a sponsored newspaper by the school which was not intended to be seen by the public, but rather for journalism students to write articles based off of the requirements for journalism 2 class, and all subjects must be appropriate for the school and all its
They hired three different lawyers to handle their case, (which if you ask me, that's a clear sign that they know we have the upper hand in this case) two of them were clearly there for research purposes only, the other's name was Mister Smith, he stood up to give his opening statement. “While it is true that the video was made for educational purposes, to edit or show even small portions of films requires a public performance license, the only way to obtain this license is to have direct permission from the copyright owner. The only way this could be fair use is if he showed it to a small group of people such as a classroom and never put it online, this of course did not happen. We are not trying to stomp out small creators that just want to make educational content, we just want things to be fair.” He sat down next to the rest of his colleagues with a seemingly smug look on his face, like he thought he had this case in the bag. All company lawyers were like this, since large companies usually win court cases unless its something huge that could legitimately damage the company's image. I give my last statement before we leave the courtroom and let the jury decide Mister Faden's fate. “Despite what Mister Smith may have said about “not stomping out the little guys” they do it all the time. If someone wanted to make a necklace with the mickey silhouette and sell it
In the case of Canada v. Bedford, three sex workers in Ontario Canada, Jean Bedford, Amy Lebovitch and Valerie Scott, challenged the Charter as they stated that the following sections in the Criminal Code violate the rights promised and protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; CC s 210, CC s. 212(1) (j), and CC s. 213(1) (c). These sections “make it an offence to keep or be in a bawdy-house, prohibit living on the avails of prostition, and prohibits communicating in public for the purposes of prostitution,” (Canada v. Bedford, 2013, 6-3). The women claimed that these restrictions did not, in fact, prevent but implement more danger for anyone in the field of work. The women claimed that these restrictions went against their rights protected under s. 2(b) of the Charter as it disabled them from their right to freedom of expression (Canada v. Bedford, 2013, 6). As the provisions were set to prevent “public nuuisance” and “exploitation of prositutes,” they in fact go against the rights in s. 7 of the Charter. Thus, being under declaration of invalidity. This in fact brings upon question on whether it is the right decision to allow prostitution without any regulation in order to impose that the the Charter is not being violated, or whether to suspend the declaration until a proper method has been developed (while infringing the rights of those in the field of work). Ultimately, all of the laws were struck down by the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada.
To what extent do you think the U.S.-Canadian magazine dispute was motivated by genuine desires to protect Canadian culture?

The Bill of Rights, “First Amendment Prohibits Congress from establishing religion and restricting it free exercise; also prohibits Congress from abridging freedoms of speech, press, assembly, and petition. So does the First Amendment cover obscenity? The Supreme Court says No, it has declined to grant First Amendment protection to utterances and writings that are obscene or defamatory. Justice Potter Stewart expressed the difficulty in his famous utterance “I shall not today attempt to further define obscenity, but I know it when I see it”. The Judicial system used the Miller test, a test that uses three questions to define obscenity. Question 1-does the average person applying contemporary, community standards, believe that the dominant theme of the material, taken as a whole, appeal to a prurient interest? Question 2-Is the material potently offensive? Question 3-Does the work, taken as a whole, lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value?
1. To what extent do you think the U.S.-Canadian magazine dispute was motivated by genuine
believe there was some genuine intent to preserve Canadian culture during the dispute, but not that much. I believe the main reason it was brought up was to gain more revenue from foreign magazines. According to Karen Rinaman's Canadian Magazine Industry and Cultural Protectionism America and Canada have very similar cultures. "They speak the same language, watch many of the same films and television programs and read the same best-selling books. In addition to these similarities, proximity allows satellite and radio programming to cross the border between the US and Canada with very little difficulty." There isn't much being protected by removing American magazines.
The image was only discovered to have been manipulated after Colin Crawford, the Times' director of photography has been advised of a replication in the image. Crawford spoke to Walski who confirmed that he had digitally reworking the image, Crawford fired Wlalski for his deception.
The instant we pick up a camera, the image has already been edited and the credibility of the photojournalist is already on the line. The ability and practice of people to be able to edit what goes into the composition of a photograph begins when they pick up a camera and even possibly when they decide to take a photograph of something. The work of a photojournalist is to relay images to the public via news sources in a way that gives people as much information about a topic as possible in the most neutral way possible. While no human being can be entirely objective about a given scenario it is the prerogative of the photojournalist to provide images that evoke the heart of a story without being manipulative to the viewer. This means that the photojournalist is responsible for the images he or she chooses and should be aware and sensitive to the effects that their image might have on those who view it. Of this issue of photographic ethics and credibility there are several key elements that should be acknowledged and considered. The first is the consideration and choice of the moment captured, another is the choice of framing and emphasis made on certain elements within the frame and the final involves the choices made in the process of editing.
Fair use allows “an author may make limited use of another author's work without asking permission,” (Nolo: Law for all, 2011). If one uses copyrighted material beyond fair use, it is considered an infringement. Infringement is basically a violation of the copyright law; although, it’s been stated that “the distinction between fair use and infringement may be unclear and not easily defined,” (United State Copyright Office, 2009). To avoid the possibly of an infringement, there are guidelines that need to be followed under the fair use doctrine.
First, a person must reflect upon the purpose of using material accessed online. If the material is used for nonprofit educational purposes only, then it most likely falls into fair use. If, however, the material is used as a part of a larger product or work that is designed for profit then it becomes copyright infringement. In some cases, the amount of copyrighted work used can influence whether or not it is considered fair use of copyright infringement as well (U.S. Copyright Office, 2012). After reviewing key factors of why a given work is being used, an individual should also consider approved lists of fair use material for educational or nonprofit purposes. As a whole, fair use material may include a book chapter, an article from a news media outlet, a short story, essay, poem that is less than 250 words, 10 percent of a total work or less, and copies of illustrations used only once. Violations of fair use policy include distributing copies of works, reusing work, and copying work more than nine times in a semester in the educational realm (University of Maryland University College,
