Dillon Cox: Copyright, Fair Use, and Personal Rights and Privacy Toolkit

Introduction

 

Herein one may observe a compiled list of research concerning copyright, fair use, intellectual property, personal rights violations, and privacy as related to education. This provided list of relevant articles shadows out or does not show the time and energy necessary to undertake this arduous task alone. Fifty articles were read, reread, and analyzed to curate this toolkit. These have all been provided in the credits section and may also be referenced as notable materials to truly aid in understanding copyright and fair use in education. The purpose of this toolkit is to offer an essentials list by identifying and evaluating twelve of those resources as most essential as these articles highlight key information concerning copyright, fair use, intellectual property, and personal rights and privacy.

Process

 

The process for creating a Toolkit is simple. As a lifelong learner, research endeavors are ample. Toolkits allow for those efforts to be saved and refined. Research is ongoing and innovation continuously spurs progress, a toolkit is one of those innovations. Approaching putting one together for the first time is like anything we have never done, we are unsure. Therefore, a basic conception of a toolkit would involve having a clear picture of the areas that need to be researched, then identifying passed projects concerning those areas, so to reutilize past research. From which point, the process of honing into the more important articles should be simpler. In the case of this toolkit, it seemed most impeccable to note the laws in copyright that have changed. This criteria sets a precedent for presenting relevant articles. For this toolkit I attempted to not gather anything over ten years old. Although notable changes that occurred in copyright may be discussed and preserved in older articles therefore, those ought to be considered of a certain quality. Which is a niche of any research task, figuring out what matters and why. I have highlighted exactly why the articles I chose made the essentials list. The purpose of this toolkit is to communicate the most critical issues and concerns with copyright. The research points to those issues and is why I chose them as essential. Other than meeting the research project criteria, this toolkit was done by laying out a research goal and following the directions for the toolkit layout. 

Evaluation

Benson, S. R. (2018). 

 “I own it, don’t I?” The Rules of Academic Copyright Ownership and You.” 

This article helps in understanding copyright, fair use, intellectual property, and personal rights from the perspective of an educator.

It describes the tenets set forth and how to abide within the law. The article is important in that it notates a dynamic shift in legislation. 

 

Lipinski, T. A. (2003).  

The Myth of Technological Neutrality in Copyright and the Rights of Institutional Users: Recent Legal Challenges to the Information Organization as Mediator and the Impact of the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act), WIPO, and TEACH.  

This article will help in understanding copyright, fair use, intellectual property, and personal rights as it ponders the rise of a digital infrastructure. The article serves to create a discussion around the intent of copyright law and the ideas of both use and ownership. The article proposes that rights apply neutrally to both digital and analog ownership and use rights. 

 

Nelson, C. R., Barnett, G., Gorman, R. A., Reichman, H., Zurbriggen, E., & Nisenson, A. M. (2014).  

Defending the freedom to innovate: Faculty intellectual property rights after Stanford v. Roche.  

This article will help in understanding copyright, fair use, intellectual property, and personal rights as it provides commentary for how copyright law has applied in the past and uses those inferences to defend faculty scholarship. It does this by covering each section of the copyright act describing how each code is applied. 

 

Seadle, M. (2004). Copyright in a networked world: Ethics and infringement.  

  This article will help students to understand copyright, fair use, intellectual property, and personal rights in a discussion of the ethical judgements involved when determining the appropriate judgment from the enforcement mechanisms for copyright law. 

 

Smith, B., & Mader, J. (2014). Protecting Students’ Online Privacy--By Law.  

This is a particularly important article that will help students to understand copyright, fair use, intellectual property, and personal rights as it provides both an informative article concerning digital privacy for protecting privacy. The article is affiliate of an educational resource called NSTA (National Science Teaching Association) which offers forums with topics on distance education for the topics on copyright, fair use, intellectual property and personal rights. 

 

Stim, R., & law, R. S. A. at. (2021, November 25). What is fair use?  

A popular article from Stanford libraries concerning copyright, fair use, intellectual property, and personal rights as it delves into fair use and provides a distinct copyright overview. This resource will also offer ways to access the Stanford libraries blog and twitter page. 

 

SunWolf, P., J.D. (2015). Intellectual property and property rights: Critical concepts in intellectual property law.  

If there were a number one on this list, then this article might be the most helpful in understanding copyright, fair use, intellectual property, and personal rights as it discusses at length the idea of intellectual property. It does this by discussing property theory through five categories and then connecting those categories to the philosophy of property rights. The article also provides commentary for how real-world courts have handled allegations. The article attempts to establish a moral imperative for approaching copyright. 

 

Wagner, K. I. (1998). Intellectual property: Copyright implications for higher education.  

This article draws a circle around copyright, fair use, intellectual property, and personal rights by highlighting fair use as an information superhighway. It describes the actors being creators, consumers, and sometimes both. It promotes the use of copyright material in education prior to the TEACH Act, which makes it significant in that regard. Even so as much as copyright has adapted to a digital takeover, and some neutrality may be on the rise, there is a need to know where we have come from to direct the course for where we are headed. 

Conclusion

Research requires diligent efforts, some of which are overlooked especially in the realm of copyright, fair use, intellectual property, and personal rights or privacy. Copyright law is complicated and will require many hours to understand to its finite core. Those attending to understanding copyright intricacies may firstly have trouble remaining motivated. Yet, this toolkit is an offering unto those efforts, and will allow other self-motivated parties a head start. Copyright is important in producing knowledge and inducing innovation in our world. The realization of the digital age brings new horizons for educators to learn and teach from, these resources lay a foundation to operating under copyright law for educators.
