We looked at the Fair Use concept from the US and the equivalent fair dealing copyright exception in Ireland. We discussed the issues that arise when new works are created from existing ones. I asked students to act as jurors in hypothetical cases of music sampling where the defendants invoked the fair use defence and ask students to portion the ownership of the new work in cases where they found there was no fair use. The was considerable discussion about the extent of Kanye West's genius.
For this classes blog entry students will be expected to briefly outline and justify each decision.
