The test that was applied to Harper and Row was the Four Factor test to determine, if indeed it was was fair use. The first being the purpose or character of the use, in this case The Nation violated the copyright holder's commercially valuable right of first publication. Therefore The Nations intent was to benefit off the copyright holder's work first which was not a fair use. Secondly the nature of the copyrighted work, although in most cases this rule favors fair use, the work used had a substantial expressive value, if The Nation had only reported the facts in the work, they would have been in favor of fair use. The third rule applied was the amount and substantiality, in this case even with The Nation only taking a small amount it was constituted a substantial amount because the excerpt they took was the “heart of the work”. Lastly the rule applied here was the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. In other words because The Nation infringed on the original work it led to actual harm, Time Magazine who had the contract with Harper & Row canceled their publishing contract. …show more content…
In the previous case explained above, there are similar facts to to this case as to why it would it can apply as a precedent to Matt’s case.
Harper and Row had a contract with Time magazine and were planning to publish a story they obtained the rights for, however The Nation got a hold of it and published their work ruining the value and harming Harper and Row, who eventually lost their contact with Time. In our case, Matt’s work, which was used without permission and no recognition from Buzzfeed, constitutes as copyright infringement on his personal creation of the photo, being that it was his very own unique form of
expression. We can apply two of the four factors from the four-factor test from this case to Matt’s case, the purpose and character of the use here, Buzzfeed used Matt’s photo on their website which also had pop ads and multiple banners, this should not constitute as fair use because Buzzfeed infringed on Matts original work for money, being that there were ads and banners getting consumer response or purchases. Second the nature of the copyrighted work, Matt’s original picture was used, while Buzzfeed cropped and color corrected the photo that was still a substantial amount of expression, even to notice Matt’s original work. Also In Matt’s defense if he did not register his photo he still has copyrights to the work. As a law of copyright and photography if you don’t register your photo with the US Copyright Office prior to infringement you still are able to recover for “actual damages” and not statutory damages.
In the majority opinion, Justice White wrote “Educators did not offend the First Amendment by exercising editorial control over the content of student speech so long as their actions were” The court also noted that the paper was a sponsored newspaper by the school which was not intended to be seen by the public, but rather for journalism students to write articles based off of the requirements for journalism 2 class, and all subjects must be appropriate for the school and all its
Facts: Who are the parties to the lawsuit, what is their dispute, and which court are they arguing in? In your own words, only include the few important facts necessary to understand the case; e.g. the time of day a defendant was arrested is usually not important, etc.
In the case of Canada v. Bedford, three sex workers in Ontario Canada, Jean Bedford, Amy Lebovitch and Valerie Scott, challenged the Charter as they stated that the following sections in the Criminal Code violate the rights promised and protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; CC s 210, CC s. 212(1) (j), and CC s. 213(1) (c). These sections “make it an offence to keep or be in a bawdy-house, prohibit living on the avails of prostition, and prohibits communicating in public for the purposes of prostitution,” (Canada v. Bedford, 2013, 6-3). The women claimed that these restrictions did not, in fact, prevent but implement more danger for anyone in the field of work. The women claimed that these restrictions went against their rights protected under s. 2(b) of the Charter as it disabled them from their right to freedom of expression (Canada v. Bedford, 2013, 6). As the provisions were set to prevent “public nuuisance” and “exploitation of prositutes,” they in fact go against the rights in s. 7 of the Charter. Thus, being under declaration of invalidity. This in fact brings upon question on whether it is the right decision to allow prostitution without any regulation in order to impose that the the Charter is not being violated, or whether to suspend the declaration until a proper method has been developed (while infringing the rights of those in the field of work). Ultimately, all of the laws were struck down by the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada.
To what extent do you think the U.S.-Canadian magazine dispute was motivated by genuine desires to protect Canadian culture?
R. v. Lavallee was a case held in 1990 that sent waves through the legal community. The defendant, Lyn Lavallee was in a relationship with her partner, Kevin Rust, in which he would abuse her both mentally and physically. On the night of the incident, Lyn and her husband got into a fight, her husband pulled out a gun and told her if she didn’t kill him now he’d be coming for her later. When leaving the room, Lyn shot Kevin in the back of the head killing him instantly. She was convicted of murder, but when brought before the Manitoba Court, she was acquitted of the charges. An appeal was made to the Manitoba court of Appeal on the grounds that expert testimony should not be admitted as evidence in the courts. They argued that the jury was perfectly

Tim Horton's is a typical Canadian coffee shop. By observing and interpreting this setting, we can understand Canadian culture as it's expressed in that setting. Understanding this small part of Canadian culture can then be applied, in a broader way, to the culture of Canadian society. A certain language that is special to customers of Tim Horton's serves a purpose that most are not aware of, big business is changing and confusing our traditional culture with a new culture that is run and concerned with money by large corporations. Canadians are generally friendly and polite to one another but are not community oriented, they are more individualistic.
1. To what extent do you think the U.S.-Canadian magazine dispute was motivated by genuine
believe there was some genuine intent to preserve Canadian culture during the dispute, but not that much. I believe the main reason it was brought up was to gain more revenue from foreign magazines. According to Karen Rinaman's Canadian Magazine Industry and Cultural Protectionism America and Canada have very similar cultures. "They speak the same language, watch many of the same films and television programs and read the same best-selling books. In addition to these similarities, proximity allows satellite and radio programming to cross the border between the US and Canada with very little difficulty." There isn't much being protected by removing American magazines.
The instant we pick up a camera, the image has already been edited and the credibility of the photojournalist is already on the line. The ability and practice of people to be able to edit what goes into the composition of a photograph begins when they pick up a camera and even possibly when they decide to take a photograph of something. The work of a photojournalist is to relay images to the public via news sources in a way that gives people as much information about a topic as possible in the most neutral way possible. While no human being can be entirely objective about a given scenario it is the prerogative of the photojournalist to provide images that evoke the heart of a story without being manipulative to the viewer. This means that the photojournalist is responsible for the images he or she chooses and should be aware and sensitive to the effects that their image might have on those who view it. Of this issue of photographic ethics and credibility there are several key elements that should be acknowledged and considered. The first is the consideration and choice of the moment captured, another is the choice of framing and emphasis made on certain elements within the frame and the final involves the choices made in the process of editing.
The image was only discovered to have been manipulated after Colin Crawford, the Times' director of photography has been advised of a replication in the image. Crawford spoke to Walski who confirmed that he had digitally reworking the image, Crawford fired Wlalski for his deception.
Fair use allows “an author may make limited use of another author's work without asking permission,” (Nolo: Law for all, 2011). If one uses copyrighted material beyond fair use, it is considered an infringement. Infringement is basically a violation of the copyright law; although, it’s been stated that “the distinction between fair use and infringement may be unclear and not easily defined,” (United State Copyright Office, 2009). To avoid the possibly of an infringement, there are guidelines that need to be followed under the fair use doctrine.
The first amendment grants the freedom of the press, speech, and religion. The first amendment also grants that the media is immune from
First, a person must reflect upon the purpose of using material accessed online. If the material is used for nonprofit educational purposes only, then it most likely falls into fair use. If, however, the material is used as a part of a larger product or work that is designed for profit then it becomes copyright infringement. In some cases, the amount of copyrighted work used can influence whether or not it is considered fair use of copyright infringement as well (U.S. Copyright Office, 2012). After reviewing key factors of why a given work is being used, an individual should also consider approved lists of fair use material for educational or nonprofit purposes. As a whole, fair use material may include a book chapter, an article from a news media outlet, a short story, essay, poem that is less than 250 words, 10 percent of a total work or less, and copies of illustrations used only once. Violations of fair use policy include distributing copies of works, reusing work, and copying work more than nine times in a semester in the educational realm (University of Maryland University College,
