    "UCLA Professor of Law Neil Netanel discusses the evolution of sampling and the jurisprudence of sampling, and the current state of copyright law in regard to the practice. He also discusses where the line between "fair use" and copyright infringement is currently considered to be, and the risks that artists take on when they choose to sample existing works." Exactly what we talked about in class: uncertainty, dangers, chained creativity (fewer sampling due to the expense of clearing rights, as well as having to hide the samples deep within the track due to fear of lawsuits).

  • The craving for cheap drugs has never been greater. For those patients and policymakers in developing countries, the existence of parallel imports is less a concern than a blessing. Yet for pharmaceutical companies themselves, there is the concern that an increasing trade in parallel imports would severely damage research-intensive activities and ultimately slow down the development of the very same drugs that are being traded in ‘grey’ markets today.

    Mentioned in the Something Borrowed article, the United States is trying to swing that parallel imports for pharmaceuticals violates the intellectual property of the western drug producers.

  • the poster was based on an Associated Press photograph by freelance photographer Mannie Garcia.
  • Fairey is being represented by Anthony Falzone, executive director of the Fair Use Project at Stanford University. Falzone is quoted in the press release, "We believe fair use protects Shepard's right to do what he did here."[
  • Photographer Mannie Garcia contended that he retained copyright to the photo according to his AP contract. He said that he was "so proud of the photograph and that Fairey did what he did artistically with it, and the effect it’s had," but that he did not "condone people taking things, just because they can, off the Internet."

  • The AP and Shepard Fairey settled out of court in January 2011.
  • AP and Fairey "agreed to work together going forward with the Hope image and share the rights to make the posters and merchandise bearing the Hope image and to collaborate on a series of images that Fairey will create based on AP photographs.
  • In a separate criminal action Federal prosecutors have requested prison time and a fine of $3.2 million for Fairey with the government sentencing request stating that “A sentence without any term of imprisonment sends a terrible message to those who might commit the same sort of criminal conduct. Encouraging parties to game the civil litigation system…creates terrible incentives and subverts the truth-finding function of civil litigation.”

    After I stumbled upon the iconic Obama "Hope" poster, I remembered that back in 2009, artist Shepard Fairey was being sued by the owner of the original photograph (AP). Back then I was not very interested in copyright issues, so I never checked what happened with this case. It's interesting and kind of fair that AP and Shepard settled on working together, sharing the rights, and collaborating on other images+photographs. Even though Shepard transformed a "stolen" photograph, his "theft" actually put the original photo on the map. I consider it to be a fair solution for a fair use case.

  • Radio "piracy" began with the advent of regulations of the public airwaves in the United States at the dawn of the Age of Radio. Initially, radio, or wireless as it was more commonly called, was an open field of hobbyists and early inventors and experimenters, including Nikola Tesla, Lee De Forest, and Thomas Edison.
  • The Navy soon began complaining to a sympathetic press that amateurs were disrupting naval transmissions.
  • When Wilson declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917, he also issued an executive order closing most radio stations not needed by the US government. The Navy took it a step further and declared it was illegal to listen to radio or possess a receiver or transmitter in the US, but there were doubts they had the authority to issue such an order even in war time. The ban on radio was lifted in the US in late 1919.

  • An entire federal agency, the Federal Communications Commission, was created eventually to enforce rules on call-signs, assigned frequencies, licensing and acceptable content for broadcast.
  • "Technological development, and in particular the miniaturization of transmitters and the fact that they can be put together by amateurs, 'encounters' a collective aspiration for some new means of expression." 
  • Despite pirate radio being known for over the air transmission, a new type of so called "pirate radio" stations now operate on-line.
  • The distinguishing feature is that these on-line pirates will usually not pay music copyright fees, like most of their AM/FM pirate cousins.

    Interesting history of the bootleg radios (Free Radio). Some logos are really cool, the second one looks like an RKO Radio Pictures but says "Free Radio" and has a hand of an individual holding the tower... In the end of the article there is a FAIR USE message that says: "This site contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner. We are making such material available in our efforts to advance understanding of environmental, political, human rights, economic, democracy, scientific, and social justice issues, etc.." Isn't that what we all want?  They also make sure that they "DO NOT CONDONE ILLEGAL PIRATE HF RADIO ACTIVITY": it's better to have a legal radio station than have  "FCC KNOCKING AT YOU DOOR."
