What is copyright?

•Copyright – intrinsic, on creation. An area of Intellectual Property law which covers original creative works including literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, film, sound recordings, broadcasts and the typographical arrangement of published editions, computer software and non-original databases, and performances.

•Copyright exists from the moment the work is created, and does not require any registration of the work.

• Generally, copyright covers a work until 70 years after the death of its creator.

• Original objects, digitised objects, metadata

Page 6: Rebecca Grant - Facilitating Connectivity: reducing copyright-related barriers to sharing

Licensing, public access and Open Access

• DRI encourages publicly accessible data; Open Access where appropriate; CC-BY licensed metadata and CC licensed objects.

• Licensing – giving permission for the use and reuse of copyrighted material – for specific purposes, people, territories or durations. Licensing a work does not relinquish or negate its copyright protection.

• Creative Commons provides standardised licences to allow reuse.

• Open Access is preferable for publicly funded data.

• All metadata in the Repository is given a CC-BY licence (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0).

Stakeholders, rights and licensing

The original depositor requires “right-click” to be disabled

Does digitisation create new copyrights?

I own the physical copy but not the copyright

The object is still under copyright, but I can’t contact the copyright holder

The copyright has probably lapsed, but I can’t identify the creator

I have business records, but the business was sold

The depositor said I could digitise, but the depositor wasn’t the creator

I recorded oral history interviews with permission, but I didn’t ask whether I can put them online

The DRI IP Taskforce

The aim of the IP Task Force is to identify IP/copyright issues and concerns arising from the demonstrator projects, and from the ingestion and dissemination of digital content from other organisations or owners

The TF will conduct research into best practice in the management of IP/copyright by digital archives, libraries etc. nationally and internationally in order to inform its recommendations

Developing legal agreementsDRI can’t respond to ad hoc queries on copyright issues, but we must facilitate deposit of content, protection of rights and encourage reuse where appropriate

•Organisational Manager Agreement

•Deposit terms and conditions

•End user agreement
