I picked up on that, too... perhaps the people booking him at these Universities should change their promotions from "A Speech by" to "A Performance by"
Even Hannity -- who in the past told students to turn the other cheek and now screw up the Grade Point Average by taking on these Profs, is saying to record them and send to him, Rush, Media, and they will start to take them on publically.
"Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include —
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors."
"Tyranny of Liberal Academia" ping list:
Actually, you're wrong:
LOL!!!
Get him Mr. Crowell!! This should be interesting : )
"Consider yourself warned,
Ward Churchill"
Hey! WC!...
Consider yourself b*tch-slapped!
This documentary is going to be goooood!
That has nothing to do with the rights to record (copy) and distribute a speech or performance or written work or atristic work.
First thing, my compliments to Grant Crowell. Good stroke.
Unfortunately, I don't think Churchill will see so much as a moment's discomfort if the lib establishment at CU has anything to say about it. They've spent the last year in an all-out "hunker down like a jackass in a hailstorm and wait until it all blows over" mode, poke their heads out only to pontificate on academic freedom, etc, etc and generally act like a bunch of cats scratching sand over a pile of excrement. Only problem is that this situation has gone light years past the point that damage control or denial are going to have much effect.
Every time I (Colorado BS Engineering 1972)hear Churchill running his alligator mouth anymore, I ponder the erasure of that item from my resume to go along with that Alumni Association membership renewal that went in the trash in August......and I don't think I'm alone.
When are Trey and Matt going to give Ward the South Park treatment?
Don't believe it, fine.
If you write a book, give a lecture, paint a picture etc... you own it. The rights are yours and you have the right to llow copy and distribution or not.
After it is distributed or copied, others who have the copies can excerpt or use it in part for certain purposes under fair use.
It is the same law that does not let us post full articles here from a number of sources.
I think the irony is more interesting. This law Chruchill is using is to protect ownersip and property rights. As a big lefty communist type it is the sort of thing Churchill would ostensibly not respect. In fact the people he condemned who were killed in the WTC were condemned by him for availing themselves or our laws that protect ownership rights so that people can make money from things they own.
It's like big anti-gun advocates like Rosie O'Donnell or Diane feisntesin who are against the right to own guns but then avail themselves or the rights in our laws to have armed bodyguards.
The Congress shall have Power ... To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries (United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8)
Not another green frog puppet!
Now there is an idea. They ought to do another movie for the big screen on that one. What a GREAT idea!!!
kudos to Grant Crowell, that warmed the very cockles of my heart reading that.
Every time I (Colorado BS Engineering 1960), think of what CU has become, I vow to give nothing to CU and more to conservative institutions like Hillsdale College.
You are not alone
Churchill ping!
