Liability for Libel (paninirang puri)
- When you publish your blog, it's freely accessible. If the material is covered by libel, you can be held accountable. Truth is not a defense in libel. You must have PURE motive for disclosing that negative thing. Moral or legal duty.
Brian Gorrell's blog is, for example, libelous.
Intellectual Property (What can I do with materials I see online?). Copyright Law.
You don't know if its covered by copyright or not. Walang information. Text. Graphics. Pics. Lectures. WOrks of art. Sound recordings. Lyrics. Need consent before you can use the material.
* Linking...If you link to the article, that's just reference.
* Fair use. Allow small portions to be reproduced. 200 words or 10% of the text (in the West).
***********
Specific bill/resolution?
* Philippine Copyright Law under Copyright Law
* Online piracy
* Affect marketing?
Phillipine Commons
* Creative commons license
* iCommons
* Local licenses a few months ago.
Uploading vids on Youtube from a show?
* Fair use, 10min limit
* Fair use is a defense, only known by the judge
* Most probably NOT fair use
Aggregating an infringement of Copyright?
* If the full thing, yes (harder to put a claim that it's fair use)
* If you're doing it for profit or not (commercial use), yes
* If short snipets (depends on the context), nope
What about mainstream media plagiarizing bloggers?
* You could sue *claps claps*
* If they get the substance of the material, he could claim copyright infringement
* They take your picture without giving credit
- Plagiarism (not a crime, just a bad habit)
- Copyright infringement
* They take your picture and give credit (link)
- Not plagiarism
- Still is Copyrigth infringement
*** If only a thumnail, fair use. It the photo in its all glory, copyright infringement
*** Disclaimers will not exempt you from libel.
Academic use is not necessarily effective and does not necessarily hold as defense for fair use.
FACTS CANNOT BE COPYRIGHTED
IDEAS CANNOT BE COPYRIGHTED
THE EXPRESSION OF IDEAS IS THE ONE THAT IS COPYRIGHTED
