Presented by Lavinia Ciuffa, at the Annual Conference of the Visual Resources Association, March 12-15, 2014 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Session 9, Case Studies in International Copyright Compliance: Untangling the Web of Publishing and Sharing Copyrighted Content Online
ORGANIZERS:
Cara Hirsch, Artstor
Allan Kohl, Minneapolis College of Art and Design (on behalf of the VRA Intellectual Property Rights Committee)
Vicky Brown, University of Oxford (on behalf of the VRA International Task Force)

MODERATOR:
Allan Kohl, Minneapolis College of Art and Design
Vicky Brown, University of Oxford

PRESENTERS:
• Matthias Arnold, University of Heidelberg (Germany)
• Vicky Brown, University of Oxford (United Kingdom)
• Marta Bustillo, National College of Art and Design, Dublin (Ireland)
• Lavinia Ciuffa, American Academy in Rome (Italy)
• Marika Sarvilahti, Aalto University, Helsinki (Finland)

Teachers, students and scholars have long been able to rely on fair use in making content available for teaching, research and study within the United States. However, such protections don’t exist outside the United States. This session explores the various ways that visual resource professionals have addressed copyright compliance issues when making images available for educational and scholarly purposes outside of the United States. Using various case studies, the session will address the sharing of image resources between and among different institutions, determining when and how images can be made available to the general public, creating image-based research collaborations across national boundaries, and the international aspects of publishing with images.

THE LAW and creative works

AMERICAN ACADEMY IN ROME - PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE

Mimmo Jodice, 1985Bronze Athletes, Villa dei Papiri, Herculaneum

The Italian Copyright Law has substantially one goal: To protect the photographer's creativity

Entitled to full protection is theCREATIVE IMAGE:

1) Author’s name

2) Date in which the photo has been produced

3) The author of the subject depicted

If a reproduction does not have the necessary data, unlicensed use

of it will not be considered illegal unless the author can prove that

the user of the image acted in bad faith

Italian copyright law does not have an equivalent to fair use

- Reproduction Rights- Distribution / Diffusion Rights - Elaboration Rights

The LAW gives the photographer the authority to decide on the use of his images

The copyright law is intended to ensure that the authors’ creativity is respected, but, at the same time, it is in conflict with online materials that are copyright free.

The secular concept of Photographic Archive should change;

with the WEB the relation between TIME and SPACE has changed:

time is getting shorter while space is expanding

PAST & FUTURE

The survival of many Italian Historical Photo Archives depends on

their financial capacity and on their ability to adapt to important

changes or they will become places of memory with no real use.

Necessary innovation will require highly trained professionals and

considerable financial backing in order to achieve:
