practice come together to offer their wisdom and experiences to those
creating and using the arts online.

reviews copyright basics and current key developments in digital
copyright legislation, the meeting will comprise three panels:
* Art & Work: Copyright, Contracts and Work-for-Hire
* Access & Use: Copyright, The Public Domain and the First Amendment
* Artists and Copyright: Experiences Working Online
The meeting will conclude with an open forum with questions, comments
and discussion on the issues raised by the presentations.

REPORT NOW AVAILABLE
NINCH COPYRIGHT TOWN MEETING: NEW YORK
February 22, 2003
Digital Publishing: the Rights Issues
http://www.ninch.org/copyright/2003/nyc.report.html
Full and summary reports are now available on "Digital Publishing:
the Rights Issues," a NINCH Copyright Town Meeting, hosted and
co-organized with the College Art Association and its Committee on
Intellectual Property at the CAA conference in New York Feb 22, 2003.
The Metropolitan Museum's Susan Chun explored the expanded universe
of digital publishing that ranges from digital versions of known
forms to digital-value-added e-journals to totally new forms like
image databases. Authors face a bewildering new rights landscape but
museums were authors too (as well as rightsholders, publishers and
scholars). In trying to understand and regularize digital
publication, museums were establishing policies and best practices.
But these were still early days, much was fluid and there was "a
great deal of space at the table" for scholars and art historians to
help formulate new approaches and standards. She urged scholars "to
join with us in formulating a new strategy for making our content
available to you."
CAA's Legal Counsel Jeff Cunard spoke of how in creating a digital
archive of CAA's Art Reviews as part of JSTOR, there was no need to
seek permissions as the digital publication was a complete replica of
the entire publication (so the Tasini case did not apply)> However
new e-publications are demanding rights for potential e-publication.
Those rights are hard to get and often apply for three years.
Petra Chu and Peter Trippi, producers of the new e-journal
"19th-Century Art Worldwide," cited rights violations the journal has
suffered but focused on how they manage the rights issues for images.
They include more images than most regular journals, but insisted on
authors acquiring erights and paying the fees. They do assist
authors, for example by providing a sample request form, but
highlighted the burden that young scholars face (with bills of $1500
or more for image fees for a single article)< They called for
centralized and standardized image distribution across institutions.
What to do when permission cannot be gained or is refused? Christine
Sundt encouraged more aggressive use of fair use and not asking
permission when it was a clear fair use and gave a list of still
unanswered questions about using material in the public domain or
subject to the control of artists' heirs. Siva Vaidhyanathan asked
for more breathing room for scholars and cited the experience of many
scholars and publishers not publishing material in fear of prosecution.
Kenny Crews aligned these issues and concerns about digital
publishing with the underground issues behind the 2002 Teach Act that
updates the Copyright Act with regard to what can be legally
broadcast via distance education. The Teach Act is a very complicated
one and educators are bound by a package of requirements and
restrictions. The opportunity offered to exploit the medium and
expand distance education was balanced in the Act by an interest in
safeguarding future markets for commercial digital publishing.

Stigmatized and Standardized Varieties in the Classroom:
Interference or Separation? What is among the most serious social
problems that our country faces? The failure of inner-city schools
to teach children to read.
