12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: nothing to ever interrupt us in our podcast, isn't that true?

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: Matt's nodding yes. And you finished the Beatles rock band

14
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 1: in one day. He did finish the Beatles rock band

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 1: in one day. He played the drums on expert all

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: the way through. Excellent. Yeah, alright, so uh at atually,

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, the Beatles were We're recently rumored to be

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: coming to iTunes store and and they didn't. And actually

19
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: they've they've they've been people have been waiting for this

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: to happen, and there's a reason why they haven't come

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: out yet with the digital versions of their songs. What

22
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: would that be, That would be copyright copyright, Now here's

23
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: a sticky situation. Now. Of course, copyright does not just

24
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: fallen under the realm of tech stuff. Technically, many of

25
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: our our sister podcasts could cover this topic. But copyright

26
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: does hold a special place within the field of technology

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: because things like the Internet have made it very easy

28
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: to distribute information on a scale much larger than what

29
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: could be achieved on one zone previously. Correct. Oh yes,

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: I mean the idea of copyright goes back a very

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: very long time. And uh it was only recently really

32
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: in the twentie and or you know, twenty first centuries

33
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: that copyright has been extended to amazing links. I mean,

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: in the United States, the current length of copyright is

35
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: the death of the author plus seventy years, right, and

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: if it's an anonymous work or pseudo anonymous work, work

37
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: for higher these works go ninety five years from the

38
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: year of its publication, so you know, when you can't

39
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: necessarily identify the author years from when it was published.

40
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: That's a long time. And there are various organizations that

41
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: are responsible really for pushing copyright to these extremes. Yeah,

42
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: and really it's it's not In most cases, it's not

43
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: the author and it's not like the government is concerned

44
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: about it. It's more like the publisher. Yeah, or giant corporations. Well, yeah,

45
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: I can think of one in particular. Yes, I know you. Actually,

46
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: the the corporation I think you're thinking of is generally

47
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: given credit for I just won't say it's a Mickey

48
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: mouse operation. Yeah. Okay, So but copyright it does, it

49
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: does h cover, It protects works for a very long time.

50
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: And what does it protect it from, you might ask, Well,

51
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: I mean people want to uh, they come up with

52
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: these neat ideas, and they're able to sell lots and

53
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: lots of copies of these ideas to other people who

54
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: want to read about them or watch them or listen

55
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: to them. Um. And and that's understandable. But it's those

56
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: people who um want to share those with other people

57
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: and maybe not you know, paid. Right. So well, let's

58
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: let's use a specific example because this is getting kind

59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: of vague. So let's say that you've published a book

60
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: and you've called the book, uh, the heaving bosom So

61
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: you've got The Heaving Bosom. It's your it's your Bodice

62
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: ripper romance novel, and you're really excited about it. Okay, Um,

63
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: so you've you've gone and you've published it. And then

64
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: someone comes out with a book called The Heaving Boobs.

65
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: What you're coming up with? This? How AT's saying? How

66
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: about keeping abreast of the situation? So they come up

67
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: with a book called Keeping Abreast of the Situation? And

68
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: Chris has actually left the room. Do you want to

69
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: go back? And we're gonna keep going, all right? Cool?

70
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: Keeping a breast of the situation. And it turns out

71
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: that the book is word for word the same as

72
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: The Heaving Bosom. Now this would be a problem obviously,

73
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: because you, as the author of The Heaving Bosom, you

74
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: are do the the rewards that come as a result

75
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: of selling this work. Yes, And what's really irritating is

76
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: that book is two dollars cheaper than my book and

77
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: is out selling it now that it's cheaper because someone

78
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: else can get the same content for less, right, So uh, now,

79
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: what copyright does it gives the person who published the

80
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: book originally? In this case, you who have published The

81
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: Heaving Bosom a legal recourse too to pursue a claim

82
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: against someone who has violated that copyright. And so you

83
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: can protect your intellectual property so that it remains yours

84
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: and uh, and that way it prevents other people from

85
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 1: capitalizing on your work, and then you know you wouldn't

86
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: see anything from that, right, I mean, that's that's the

87
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: whole basis of copyright. It's not a bad thing on

88
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: its own. In fact, it's very important. Anyone who's a

89
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: creator wants to be able to protect his or her

90
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: own work, at least to some extent. Now, copyright that

91
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: that takes effect as soon as you create something, Yes,

92
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: as soon as it is fixed a fixed work. You

93
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: do not have to send a form into the federal government,

94
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: although you can. That's that's registering your copyright. Yeah, you know,

95
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: you don't have to register a copyright to hold a copyright,

96
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: right if you if you write a blog post and

97
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: hit the published button, that's copyright you. Yeah, the same

98
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: thing for any kind of written work, musical work, any

99
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: any sort of recorded work, even an image, you can copyright. So, uh,

100
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: anything that you produce creatively, assuming that that's created through

101
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: your own work. It's not something that's derived from something else,

102
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: you hold the copyright to it. Yes, Now, not everyone

103
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: agrees with these rules. I mean some people are a

104
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: little bit more lenient. Some people say, hey, you know,

105
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: I created this song and I want to share it

106
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: with all my friends on the internet and wanted you

107
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,119
Speaker 1: to remix it and cut it up and do whatever

108
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: you want to with it. And I want to hear

109
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: what you what you do with it, and so what

110
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: do you do in that case? I mean, that's not

111
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: covered in the in the you know US code, right,

112
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: copyright law doesn't doesn't cover for this. It's it's very inflexible.

113
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean, things are under copyright and you're either violating

114
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: it or you're not. And it's getting more inflexible, right, Yeah,

115
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: even things like fair use. People bring up the concept

116
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: of fair use. Fair use is incredibly difficult to prove. Yeah,

117
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: fair use is um fair use is a very contingent

118
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: situation for it's it's so hard to define. Yeah, I

119
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: mean the thing is with fair use, you are allowed

120
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: to use some of something and something else. Like for example,

121
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: say you're writing a book, a nonfiction book, and you

122
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: would like to put a a quote from someone else's

123
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: book in there. Well, you're allowed to do that, but

124
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: the thing is it has to be of a certain

125
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: layng and it has to be what they call transformative,

126
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: which means, you know, if you want to put half

127
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: a paragraph of somebody's book in to illustrate your point

128
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: and illustrated as Hey, this is something that Mr Smith

129
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: wrote about and I think it's an incredibly important thing,

130
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: and you said it off as a quote. You're probably

131
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: not going to get sued for that. Now, if you,

132
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, lift the entire paragraph and don't change a word,

133
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: then that's not you're not really transforming in anyway. You're

134
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: you know, and that's that's actually what the transformative part

135
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: is what gives the right to people like weird Al

136
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: who want to do a parody. He often takes pretty

137
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: much the same song, maybe changes it into a different key,

138
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: and then adds new words to it. Well, he's transformed

139
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: it into a new song by doing that, So technically

140
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: he would not have to ask permission, although we should

141
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: point out that he does. Yes, he always does. He

142
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: does ask permission though technically under the rules of fair

143
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: use he doesn't have to, but he he takes that

144
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: extra step, So good on you. Weird. Al Yeah. Now,

145
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: specifically Section one oh seven of the Copyright Code, uh

146
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: it stay that it sets out four factors to be

147
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: considered and determining determining whether or not a particular use

148
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: is fair. And here are the four things. The purpose

149
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: and character of the use, including whether such uses of

150
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes. Nonprofit is

151
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: generally considered better if you're trying to argue fair use.

152
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: The nature of the copyrighted work, the amount and substantiality

153
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work

154
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: as a whole, So how much you create on your

155
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: own and how much you actually cite from other works,

156
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: and the effect of the use upon the potential market

157
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: for or value of the copyrighted work. In other words, yeah,

158
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: In other words, if if if you include this in

159
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: your work and somehow that impacts the sales of the

160
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: original work, that's a bad thing. That's say, are Unless

161
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: it impacts it in a positive way, like it makes

162
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: people go out and buy some other book, that's okay.

163
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: But if you if people say, hey, I don't need

164
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: to buy the original book because I can get enough

165
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: of it out of this system here, that's bad. And

166
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: um uh. And again, you know Paulett was talking earlier

167
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: about you know, you don't if you get to a

168
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: certain length a certain amount of material that might violate

169
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: fair use. Here's another problem. That length is not defined. Nope,

170
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: there is no definition to how many words you can

171
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: use or how much, how even a percentage of the

172
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: content that you can use before you violate fair use.

173
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: It's a case by case basis. Yep. And that's a

174
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: that's a problem because it's going to be up to

175
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: a judge to decide this. I mean, you know, if

176
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: you if you write a two hundred and sixty three

177
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: page book and you use a paragraph out of somebody's work,

178
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: that's really not that substantial all things considered. Of course,

179
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: your lawyer is going to have to prove that. However,

180
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: if you write a half page long poem and two

181
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: thirds of it is somebody else's that's really an awful

182
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: lot of it. Yeah. So let's but let's say that

183
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: you have created a work and you want to be

184
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: able to distribute this as widely as possible. And you know,

185
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: before the Internet, you really only had two options. You

186
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: had an option of going with some sort of publication corporation.

187
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: So either you know, a like a corporate publisher right exactly,

188
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: like they're publishing novels or or it's a music publisher whatever,

189
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: whatever a kind of art you're creating, you would have

190
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: to go to to a major publisher to get widespread distribution. Yeah,

191
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: like you're you've got an agent and they sign you

192
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: to a deal. Not a self publisher right now. That's

193
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: your other choice, as you go to a self publisher

194
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: also known as vanity press from people who are writing uh.

195
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: And in this case, you would pay the publisher directly

196
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: to publish these books, and then you would try and

197
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: sell them. The problem with that, of course, is that

198
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: your distribution is usually pretty limited with vanity publishing. First

199
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: of all, it's limited by your budget, because you're the

200
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: one paying to have all these books or CDs pressed

201
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: or whatever. Uh. And then of course it's limited by

202
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: however widespread you can you can get the word out

203
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: for people to actually purchase this stuff. It's limited by

204
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: how far how much gas you have in your tank,

205
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: and how many bookstores there are in your neighborhood. Now,

206
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here with one musician across the table from me,

207
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: and another one staring holes in the back of my head.

208
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: And uh and both of them, I as, I'm sure,

209
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: are very familiar with the concept of self publishing. So

210
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: the Internet gives people a new opportunity to distribute their

211
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: work in a much more wider scale than they ever

212
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: could on their own without it. So you can upload songs,

213
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: you can upload an entire novel if you wanted to,

214
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: and you can distribute it any way you like. Now,

215
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: some people they want to foster a creative spirit on

216
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: the Internet. They want their work not just seen by

217
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: people who enjoy it, but they want people to take

218
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: their work and transform it. Perhaps. Uh, you know, a

219
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: musician may want we want to encourage people to remix

220
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: his or her songs. Um and And the problem with

221
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: copyright is there's no all recourse for you to do this.

222
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: What you have to do is create a license agreement. Now,

223
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: license agreements if you you know, there's if you're just

224
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: going for a specific one, you pretty much have to

225
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: hire a lawyer and work with the lawyer to hash

226
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: out a license agreement that's that fits both your your

227
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: needs and the person who wants to license the work.

228
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: You know, what would be really cool, what's that would

229
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: be really cool if there were like a template and

230
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: you could you know that somebody had created you know,

231
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: somebody like a legal expert, and they could say, well,

232
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: you know what, if you want to license it this way,

233
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: go with option A. If you want to license it

234
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: another way, go with option B. And options C, D, E,

235
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: n F are also available if you want to make

236
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: parts of it available for people to use, or if

237
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: you want to restrict it completely. In fact, that is

238
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: such a good idea that other people have had it. No, yes,

239
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: that's the birth of the creative commons. So creative commons

240
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: is a way of licensing work so that you can

241
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: tell people what what you do and do not want

242
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: folks to do with the stuff you've created. And um,

243
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: it's not the same as copyright. It's it's really it's

244
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: really uh kind of a supplement to copyright. It's an

245
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: idea that this tells people what you want them to

246
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: be able to do, uh, whether or not you want

247
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: them to be able to take your work and then

248
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: add to it or or you know, transform it in

249
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: some way. It also gives people the guidelines they need

250
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: to follow in order to do that. Because one of

251
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: the aspects of Creative Commons is that you know, you

252
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: you may want to make sure people attribute the original

253
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: work to you so that people can trace back all

254
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: the way to the source of the original material. So

255
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: attribution is very important in creative Commons. Uh, that's part

256
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: of the license. So if people you know, decide to

257
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: try and use create works that are licensed under Creative Commons,

258
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: one of the things they're supposed to do is attribute

259
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: the original work. And there their guidelines specifically on how

260
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: things need to be attributed. A lot of these left

261
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: up to the creator. Um, you know, whether they want

262
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: to be uh mentioned by name or by a handle

263
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: or both. Um, whether or not you know, you should

264
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: include a website as well, that kind of thing, and uh.

265
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: And this covers all sorts of creative material like books,

266
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: short stories, music, images, uh not software software you you

267
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: could technically covered under Creative Commons, but the the people

268
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: who drafted Creative Commons um suggest that you don't do that. Well,

269
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: there are other options for that too, write exactly. That's

270
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: that's one of the that's one of the reasons they

271
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: suggest that you shouldn't use Creative Commons for software because

272
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: there are other choices out there that are better. YEP. Now, UM,

273
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: creative commons actually hasn't been around for a terribly long time. Actually,

274
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: at the twenty one century UH creation, UM, the Center

275
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: for the Public Domain had a lot to do with it,

276
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: and there were a lot of people involved it. UM.

277
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: You know, probably the most recognizable name as UH Lawrence Lessig,

278
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: who's UH lawyer and has been cited very very frequently

279
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: as an expert in UH and copyright and other related

280
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: and licensing and all sorts of related things. He's UH,

281
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: he's an author and UM a lot of a lot

282
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: of times. UM, you know, he gets asked about the

283
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: these weird situations because you know, before the digital age,

284
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: really copyright was a lot easier to pin down, and

285
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: now there are all these methods of distribution that are

286
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: causing the corporate organizations headaches. Um. There are all sorts

287
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: of other UH contingencies like bands wanting to allow you

288
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: to have access to their pro tools files to go

289
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: ahead and make changes to the original songs without you know,

290
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: even taking the finished tracks. I mean, these things are

291
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: are things that would have been unthinkable just a few

292
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: years ago. So it's important that that creative commons licensing

293
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: and UH and public domain licensing overall is becoming more

294
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: robust because it's enabling people to fiddle around with it

295
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more. And the funny thing I think

296
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: about the licensing issues is that, um, some of the

297
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: corporations are starting to loosen up a little bit and

298
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: allow authors and other artists to you know, distribute these

299
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: things more freely, like for example, nine inch Nails making

300
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: their files available um and uh, authors like Corey Doctoro

301
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: making entire books available for a short time, um, you know,

302
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: online for free. And then you know, of course what

303
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: they're finding out is it sells more copies of the

304
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: actual protected copyrighted work. Right. Yeah, I've I've seen people

305
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: who publish books and music under the Creative Commons do

306
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: quite well. That Jonathan Colton does very well with his

307
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: musician and uh, you know, the the important thing to

308
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: remember is that Creative Commons doesn't stop anyone from selling anything. Um,

309
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: you can. You can license your work under Creative Commons

310
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: and still sell it for a profit. There's nothing stopping

311
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: you from doing that. In fact, that's that's not the

312
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: purpose of Creative Commons. It's really to give you options

313
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: so that people know what they can and can't do

314
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: with your work. Um. It really comes down to to

315
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: the key terms what they call the key terms of

316
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: the Core Suite of Creative Commons licenses. Sweet. Yeah, so

317
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: attribution is one of those. We already mentioned that. So

318
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: that's letting people, you know, know that they need to

319
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: mention your name in regards to the work you created

320
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: before they do anything with it and their share alike.

321
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: And that allows other people to uh, create, distribute, or

322
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: distribute derivative works, but only under the same share alike license.

323
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: So if you make a derivative and make a distribution

324
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: of that, then you have to let other people share

325
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: to write. In other words, let's say that you take

326
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: a song and you remix it. You can't tell people, hey,

327
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: don't take this remix and remix that. Yeah, my remixes copyright. Now,

328
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: you can't do that. No, it has to fall under

329
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: the same the same parameters as the work that you

330
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: took in the first place. There's non commercial, which of

331
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: course means that you're not able to use the work

332
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: in any way that would um you know, and essentially

333
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: you can't use it in a way to make money.

334
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: You can't use it for commercial uses. This one's really

335
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: tricky because let's say that you have a song that

336
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: you really like that has been published under the Creative

337
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: Commons license, and you should be able to play that

338
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: song on your website like you want to, and you

339
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: know you're gonna attribute it and everything. But let's say

340
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: that you also have advertising site and you get money

341
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,479
Speaker 1: from the ads. Now, even if the ads are not

342
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: directly associated with the song, there does there's a gray

343
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: area there the site is actually being used for a

344
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: commercial purpose, using it to make money. Yeah, and if

345
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: the song can be if you know, if you were

346
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: to say, well, the song is part of that the

347
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: song is part of the reason why people are visiting

348
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: the site, then therefore those songs part of the reason

349
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: why you're making money. That may or may not fall

350
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: under the non commercial umbrella. It's it's a gray area.

351
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: That's one of the more difficult ones to define. The

352
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: final one is no derivatives. This is where you let

353
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: people copy it, display it, distribute it, but they can't

354
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: make derivative versions, remixes or anything like that. Yeah, if

355
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: you write a song and want to change the layer

356
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: and somebody else wants to, you know, you publish it

357
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: under this license. Somebody else wants to, you know, rewrite

358
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: the second verse, they can't do it because it's verbatim.

359
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: You have to be the same way. Now, Let's say

360
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: that you publish something and you put it under the

361
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: Creative Commons License, and then later on you decide that

362
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: you want to change that. Okay, here's the problem. Yeah,

363
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: here's the problem. You can't really do that because it

364
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: violates the whole idea of the Creative Commons license in

365
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: the first place. Let's say that you've allowed people to

366
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: make remixes of your songs for uh, for three months.

367
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: You know, I've got this one song under the Creative

368
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: Commons license, and you you had had it so that

369
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: people could use the share like and then you decide,

370
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't I don't really want that

371
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: to happen anymore, and I change that. Well, that kind

372
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: of violates the whole spirit of Creative Commons. So you

373
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: can't really do that. For one thing, how do you

374
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: prove someone got hold of your song after you changed

375
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: the parameter of your agreement If someone got hold of

376
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: your son from before they got it under the Creative

377
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: Commons license that said that they could share it if

378
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: they got it after then they said that, you know,

379
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 1: they couldn't share it anymore. Um, you can't really prove that.

380
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: It's really hard to to prove. Hey, I got a

381
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: hold of this digital copy back when you said it

382
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: was okay, Uh, not after you said it wasn't okay.

383
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna publish something under creative commons, just

384
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: keep in mind that it's it's pretty much a switch

385
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: that stays on once you flip it on. It doesn't

386
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: mean you can't again, doesn't mean that you can't sell

387
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: things and make money off of them. It just means

388
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: that the conditions that you agreed to at the beginning

389
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: are you're pretty much stuck with those. And it seems

390
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: like since it's a legal agreement then it should conceivably

391
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: hold up in a court of law. Right, But again,

392
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: when you're talking about using creative commons, um this again

393
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: as a supplement to copyright law. If if you are

394
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: the owner of the work, uh, then you're going to

395
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: be using your your copyright as the basis of your argument,

396
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: not creative commons necessarily. And now if you're the person

397
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: being accused, you might be using creative commons as your protection, saying, look,

398
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: this work was licensed under creative commons. I followed the

399
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: parameters I attributed. I didn't use it for commercial purposes exactly.

400
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: So therefore, since I'm covering up under the license, there's

401
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: no there's no h substance to the complaint. Um. That

402
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: would be the defense on the person who is using

403
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: the work. You, as the person who created the work,

404
00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: you would rely upon copyright law and the copyright itself. UM.

405
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: And again, like we said, if you create a work,

406
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: it's under copyright if you register it. That kind of

407
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: helps if you're defending your copyright in court. Not that

408
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: you can't defend a copyright in court without registering. You can,

409
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: it's just more difficult. It's easier to defend a copyright

410
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: if you've registered it. It also tends to make people

411
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: think twice because it just it carries with it a

412
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: certain kind of gravitas, because it's official. You just wanted

413
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: to use the word gravitas because it sounds heavy. It's

414
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: the secret word for today. Everybody's scream good pewee Harman Vans.

415
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: All right, then I don't really have a lot more

416
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: on Yeah. The one other thing I will mention that

417
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: just a tiny thing is that you can actually do

418
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: search searches for Creative Commons material, which is very handy

419
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: if you, let's say that you've got a podcast. You know,

420
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: you're an amateur podcaster, and you're not making any money

421
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: off of the podcast, and you want, you know, a

422
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: really cool song to play in the background of your podcast.

423
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: You can go through Creative Commons and find stuff published

424
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: under Creative Commons. Um you can do searches in different

425
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: uh using the Creative Commons as a as a one

426
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: of the parameters of your search and find music that

427
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: other people wrote that they'll be more than happy for

428
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: you to use it as long as you again follow

429
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: the rules. You know, you attribute it, you don't use

430
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: it for commercial purposes. So that's another benefit is that

431
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: it helps you find resources that you can't produce on

432
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: your own to to make your own work that much

433
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: more attractive. Yep. And as a matter of fact, if

434
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: you're a Firefox browser fan, then there is a plug

435
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: in that you can use and added to your search listings.

436
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: You know, any stuff. Okay, Well, now I am done. Okay,

437
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: then then let's move on to the listener mail. Nice

438
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: list listener mail comes from John and John says, hey, guys,

439
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: I just recently started listening to your podcast great Stuff.

440
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: I was listening to the Augmented Reality one and recalled

441
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: that some work had been done at my alma mater,

442
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: the University of North Dakota School of Engineering and Mind's

443
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: Mechanical Engineering Department. I remembered that some people had used

444
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: augmented reality to play pac Man and Doom. Couldn't find

445
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: a link, but it was done in Australia. Very cool stuff.

446
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: Keep up the good work, John's thanks John. Yeah, augmented

447
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: reality has been one of those things that people, you know,

448
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: creative minds, find really cool things to do with augmented reality.

449
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: I always think of the very simple stuff like looking at,

450
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, a restaurant scenes review, but there are so

451
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: many other applications, and of course we only went into

452
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: one or two of them. People who find ways to

453
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 1: create augmented reality games awesome. So if any of you

454
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: have any comments, questions, criticisms that sort of thing, you

455
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: can email us. Our email address is tech stuff at

456
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: how stuff works dot com. Um, you can learn all

457
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: about copyright at how stuff works dot com. I encourage

458
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: you to do that because it's one of those really
