Fair Use Materials and Syllabus Update

We are one class behind right now, but as usual, I think we can make up the time. Try and keep up, as I plan to make Thursday, Oct. 25 a rapid-class that will stack up the Oct. 23 reading and the Oct. 25 reading. This should mean that we will start our Fair Use discussions on time.

I do expect Fair Use to get us behind again, as this is a key component of the course, and (in my opinion) the most interesting aspect of copyright law.

If you want to get a head start on some of the off-text reading for Fair Use, it is below: Definitely have this stuff reviewed by Oct. 30.

  1. Bound By Law (Fair Use Comic Book) (this is not required reading per se, but it is a pretty good informal discussion of Fair Use. You might just want to read it for fun/bringing the concepts together purposes)
  2. “1984″ Macintosh Ad (modified to be anti-Hillary Clinton ad)
  3. Campbell v. Acuff Rose (from benedict.com)
  4. The KLF v. Abba (from benedict.com)
  5. Hustler v. Moral Majority (edited from the original) – For Fair Use discussions.
