Unless the law provides otherwise…
Copyright• General rule = You need permission/licence to
do anything within the scope of the copyright owner’s rights (economic or moral rights) unless the law provides otherwise (eg where there is an exception permitting that use)
• express permission to use should be obtained – importance of clear statement of permitted uses– any other rights/obligations (other than copyright)
Copyright licensing – with CC licences • Based on copyright • Only some rights reserved• Relatively short, simplified, standardised licences which provide
permission in advance• BUT
– do not cover all possible kinds of permissions – other kinds of permissions will have to be negotiated
– Do not contain detailed provisions covering all relevant aspects of the law – Must be read in the context of copyright law (legislation & judgments) and
often other relevant bodies of law (e.g. private international law – “jurisdictional” issues and applicable law)
– Also have to be read in context of other relevant “information” laws notably privacy (data protection), security, and interception of communications (telecommunications) - See Chang v. Virgin Mobile USA, LLC, 2009 WL 111570 (N.D.Tex. January 16, 2009)
