Intellectual Property's Scholar, Peggy Hoon, in an ongoing discussion of
current copyright issues."At Last, Loud and Clear: Fair Use and Licensing"
(April 18, 2011)
It has been said that there is nothing so compelling as an idea whose time has
come. Perhaps we should add a problem or situation whose continued
persistence, despite reasonable proposed solutions, is so costly, so
time-consuming, so unnecessary that it compels outcry, it compels our
attention, and it compels a rational solution now. Now.

I've said it before, I'm saying it again once and for all. Institutions of
higher education in the United States can no longer afford to squander scarce
resources in the current endless cycle of rehabilitating the same unacceptable
license language that accompanies online scholarly journals, databases, and
other electronic resources. Over and over, day after day, institution after
institution, time and money are spent just trying to keep the use rights and
other rights that we already possess 
under the law from being constricted. To
access material that our university professors and researchers have generated.
Meanwhile, classes are cancelled, people are laid off, entire programs are
eliminated, and our system of higher education continues its slide to
mediocrity.To read more of Peggy's blog visit

This workshop will focus upon the Work for Hire doctrine as defined in section
101 of the Copyright Act, an exception from the general rule that authors are
the copyright owners. We will examineband seek to clarifybsome of the
complex issues of authorship and ownership surrounding works prepared by
employees within the scope of their employment and those works specially
ordered or commissioned for use in certain defined situations. Topics will
include definition of terms, discussion of the applicable sections of the law,
the difference between being an employee or an independent contractor,
transfer and reallocation of rights, the "academic exception" as it applies to
courses and course materials, contracts and written instruments affecting
ownership, and applicable case law. This workshop will be of interest to those
in both for-profit settings and nonprofit libraries and educational
institutions.Workshop Goals Include:
1. To understand the work for hire statute, the relevant case law and the
factors that indicate whether the author is an employee or an independent
contractor;2. To be able to identify situations in which work for hire issues
are likely to arise;3. To evaluate how contracts for employees and independent
contractors affect works for hire.
