This video explains in all aspects, deeply and broadly, the fair use doctrine.

YouTube's page on what is considered fair use on their website. They talk about the four factors that are used to determine whether or not content constitutes fair use. I really like how they also have a section about "myths" of fair use - very useful for those posting videos.

This post (from a royalty-free stock database) summarizes acceptable and unacceptable practices for the fair use of music. Topics include sheet music, research, recordings, and copies. There are also links to related topics, e.g. copyright law, Creative Commons licensing, rules of fair use, etc.

Fairness of a test relates to fair use. One definition of fair use states that a common qualifying score may be used with two groups if the regression line based on one group does not systematically over- or under-predict criterion performance in the other.

Description: "Fair dealing has played a prominent role in the hearings on Bill C-32, with education and creator groups debating the merits and impact of the proposed reforms.  Unfortunately, much of the discussion has confused rather than clarified the issue with misleading claims about potential losses, inaccurate comments on copyright and Internet materials, and dubious arguments about the compliance of the reforms under international copyright law."

Buen contenido.

No todos están de acuerdo con el "Fair Use", algunos creen que deben cobrar por todo el contenido en la red. .. Don Rupert Murdoch no está de acuerdo con la idea del "fair use" y agregó que muchas veces es usado como pretexto para robar noticias ...

an exciting comic book created by the Center for the Study of Public Domain (Duke University), that explores fair use, copyright, and public domain. It is important to note that the way they distribute the book is also amazingly open--they provide download of many formats to enable easy access and easy reuse.

On October 17, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed and remanded a key fair-use ruling in a long-running case over digital course readings on college campuses. But while on the surface the decision is a legal victory for the plaintiff publishers, two major library associations say the ruling is in fact a win for libraries, and for a popular practice known as "e-reserves."

Very relevant for our academic librarians.

"Cuando uno escucha el término derecho reservado (copyright) lo primero que le viene a la mente es la censura, la restricción, y el castigo." Una opinión personal sobre los temas que se manejan en el Módulo IV del MOOC

Opino lo mismo cuando lo primero que piensas en los derechos de autor. La importancia de darle el valor al creador porque aveces es la única manera en que se pueda agradecer. (Experiencia personal)

"At the same time, a fair amount of resistance to OA practices still exists. Publishers object to OA on economic principles, as it undermines the revenue generated by journals. Some researchers feel that it devalues their work as well, lowering it to the level of "a database to be consulted," in Eve's words. He believes the academic community is over-reliant on scholarly publishing's status quo; as he told the crowd at Columbia, "the system reinforces itself through economies of prestige." Even as interest in altmetrics grows, the quality of research continues to be gauged by the number of citations an article gathers and the status of the journal it appears in."

This is a good overview of a project that seeks to demystify and break down resistance to open educational resources.

The Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science is an open community offering countless ideas, DIY instruction and kits for carrying out science projects from your own kitchen (literally). Even better - you can become a part of a collaborative community, which shares ideas & tips, and all data collections are available under CC!

I particularly like the open source approach of the Public Lab, which ensures a collaborative building of creative solutions, which are then available under fair and open terms. Thanks for sharing the resource. Balthas
