It's time to move on from Copyright.

There are three areas we didn't get to address in class

• Creative Commons
• Orphan Works and
• Proposals for Reform

LEGS8007 Class 07.1

Part 13

We looked "communication to the public" and the law surrounding hyperlinks to content.

I gave out printed copies of McCambridge Limited v Joseph Brennan Bakeries [2012] IESC 46 in anticipation of us moving on to trade marks in the next class

COMP6032 Class 07.1

We looked at different strategies for content sequencing.

I gave students a like of content from their first year architecture and hardware modules and asked them to sequence them.

COMP6032 Lab 06 B

Students worked on the Photoshop training exercise

COMP6032 Class 06.2

We reviewed the lessons of the procedural analysis exercise in the last class.

We discussed interviews with SMEs, but for the bulk of the class addressed writing learning objectives.  In particular we addressed the three domains: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective.

LEGS8007 Classes 06.2 & 06.3

Part 11

I gave out a copies of Kelly v Morris reproduced from The Law Times and a press release from the ECJ on SABAM v Netlog.  I was keen for students to see an example of a law report, and in particular to see the kind of language lawyers sometimes have to deal with.  The contrast with the ECJ press release is startling.

We discussed at the challenges new technologies have posed for copyright enforcement and the approaches that rights holder have taken in recent years.  In particular we looked at Digital Rights Management (DRM) schemes.




Part 12

We explored the roles of services provides (such as YouTube) and ISPs (such as Eircom and UPC) is assisting rights holders in their efforts to discourage copyright infringement, and the extent to which they can be compelled to provide assistance.


Exam Questions:

Assess the effectiveness of technological Digital Rights Management (DRM) schemes in balancing the rights of copyright holders and consumers.

How can online services providers avoid liability for copyright infringements by their customers. 

That concludes our look at copyright.

In the next class I hope to talk about the assessment regime for the module.

Next up we will look a the copyright implications of hyperlinks

COMP8035 Class 06.1

I asked students to

Log into turnitin and read the other papers is had assigned and answer the questions asked.

And on their blogs:

Write a brief note on the peer review process. Do you think it's useful?

Rate the quality of your opening relative to those you read (without going into the details of the others)

Provide a brief summary of a topic other than your own

Week 08 will be the last week of the blog.

GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES PRESENTATION

Thursday, 9^TH March 2017

1 – 2 pm

Rory Gallagher Theatre

LEGS8007 Class 05.2 & 05.3

Part 08

Copyright exemptions.

We had a problem with the projector. So will record the class and put it online.

Part 09

I explained the Fair Use doctrine in the US.  We listened so some music can included other works and I asked students what decisions they would come to if they were judging hypothetical cases where fair use was being claimed.   Where it was decided that there was not far use, how much of the royalties should go to the original creator.  There was general agreement on what was and was not fair use.  But when it came to the numbers there was not universal agreement on the scale of Kane West's genius.
