[YL] Youth Media, Copyright, Fair Use

[Margie Brand]

Renee:

The Coady Institute, based out of Canada, started a very interesting
international listserv discussing Open Source issues, including copy right,
fair use, etc.  You may well want to contact them directly for more info, as
some extremely interesting discussion has come out of this.

Subject: [YL] Youth Media, Copyright, Fair Use

Dear Colleagues:
I'm interested in interviewing people working in youth media about your
thoughts about intellectual property, copyright and fair use. Please email
me if you would like to be interviewed about this topic.

As part of a project supported by the MacArthur Foundation, my colleagues
Pat Aufderheide, Peter Jaszi and I are trying to learn more about how
copyright and fair use are perceived among educators, artists and activists
who work with young people on media production and media analysis
activities. 

We want to hear from people who are confused about these topics, people who
have strong opinions, and even from those of you who just don't care about
this issue. Questions about the rights of owners and users of intellectual
property are emerging as a result of the rise of user-generated content on
the Internet and other digital technologies. We'd like to benefit from your
thinking about these issues, especially as they relate to your work with
youth media, education and community development.

If you would like to participate in our research, we will arrange for a 30 -
40 minute phone call where you can share your questions, thoughts and ideas.
Thanks for your help!

Renee
