Take down notice-stop doing what you are doing; have very good hackers and detectors (record date, time, and IP address) ask for names (sepenas), and the University has to give them their names and tell them cease and desist.

The Higher Education Opportunity Act (2008) obliges colleges and universities that host computer networks to provide “alternatives to illegal downloading”
The HEOA has three key provisions that affect colleges and universities:
The Special Case of Education: Fair Use
Positive defense against infringement; justification
Four factors to consider whether or not it is Fair Use
Fair use continues to protect you once you are outside of the university.
Derivative work: taking characters already created and altering the environment.
Parody is protected: it is a form of critique.
Any and all educational use is not always “fair use”
Creative commons-Creates more of an open culture

The Higher Education Opportunity Act (2008) obliges colleges and universities that host computer networks to provide “alternatives to illegal downloading”
The HEOA has three key provisions that affect colleges and universities:
- Must make an annual disclosure to students Re: Copyright and campus policies;
- Must develop a plan to combat unauthorized file-sharing, to include the use of “technology-based deterrents”
- Must implement a system to provide alternatives to illegal downloading
The Special Case of Education: Fair Use
Positive defense against infringement; justification
Four factors to consider whether or not it is Fair Use
- Purpose of the reproduction- Why are you actually reproducing this work?
- Nature of the work that you are copying (entertainment is a commodity) Economic issue.
- The amount that you are reproducing
- The effect that your work has on the right’s holder
Fair use continues to protect you once you are outside of the university.
Derivative work: taking characters already created and altering the environment.
Parody is protected: it is a form of critique.
Any and all educational use is not always “fair use”
Creative commons-Creates more of an open culture
We learned that derivative work is taking characters already created and altering the environment of which they are typically found in. I think this is a creative approach that builds on someone else's creativity, however, I think the person who originally created the characters deserves some type of credit for the derivative work as well.
