First panel: Law & Policy Panel Discussion Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I'm looking forward to this one:)

  • Jennifer Jenkins, Law School, Duke University

     Podcasting and Copyright Law

     Why worry about copyright?

     Podcasters may want to use copyrighted material

     Podcasters have copyrights in their work

     Podcasters can influence public policy

     Exclusive rights in public performance and reproduction are implicated by podcasting

     For music rights, need to deal with artists rights and sound recording rights

     Options for podcasting

     no copyrighted content, podsafe, fair use, license, DRM

     All have alevel of complication for an individual podacaster

     Historically, copyright licensing has been streamlined either legislatively or judicially to allow technology to use material

     For podcasters, this streamlining needs to be efficient, affordable, accounts character of use, and preserves fair use

  • JD Lasica, Co-founder and Executive Director, Ourmedia.org

     author of Darknet

     Lots of blogs, podcasts, etc. An explosion of citizens media.

     Getting permission from entertainment companies to use their content is difficult, if not impossible

     don't break the law, change the law

     create your own stuff

     Ourmedia.org lets anyone upload and store your digital media forever.

     open source, open standards

     40,000 media works, 500 new every day

     post curated by 80 volunterr moderators

     extensive fair use guidelines

  • Jason Schultz, Staff Attorney, Electronic Frontier Foundation

     Fair use and the futre of padcasting

     What is fair use?

     difficult to define, a moving target.

     real hard for individual podcasters

     copyright is intended to promote progress, that is to promote tech innovation and cultural and creative production

     Distribution mechanisms are generally regulated, consumers are protected

     Fair use is one of the consumer protections

     some tools enable fair use and they are OK

     thumbnails

     emulators

     Traditional fair users

     Non-commercial, artists, librarians, amatuer, personal

     Copyfight

     a cultural shift is going on about what is fair use

     citizens are creating content, but are not commercial choke points for distribution

     how do we distinguish between fair use and infringement? It is getting harder due to tools like iPod.

  • Michael J. Huppe, Senior Vice President for Business & Legal Affairs and Deputy General Counsel, Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)

     RIAA likes podcasting

     Represents record companies, not artists or publishers

     tech advances of past few years represent a great opportunity and pose a great threat

     the issues are complicated, and things cannot change overnight

     RIAA is looking at licensing for podcasting

     only use content you have permission to use

     trying to protect rights of records labels, but not anti-fair use

     web radio has statutory licensing through SoundExchange, but podcasting is different. The stautory license is modeled on radio, but podcasting involves downloading, so it falls outside of statutory scheme

  • Q&A

     Why remix?

     it's all about fair use. Important to refer to cultural pieces.

     What is good about fuzzy fair use rule?

     a hard and fast rule would set a ceiling that would be problematic. Flexibility is good because it allows for good use to be fair.

     RIAA won Grokster, so why still suing people?

     Problem has not gone away. The win did raise awareness.

     How will this end up for podcasters?

     podcasts move to radio. There will be mainstream breakouts. Podcasting and broadcasting will come closer together. Some sort of licensing structure needs to be put in place.

     looking at history indicates that it will take time to hammer out licensing

     What is commerical and what is not? Is a podcast commercial?

     this is a hard question and influences what is fair use.

     Courts are asking Are you getting something for nothing that you would otherwise pay for? If so, it is a commercial use.

     What about international issues?

     IP issues are global, and are huge.

Keynote, Wednesdays at the Center featuring Jonathan Sterne Permanent link to this item in the archive.

"From Broad to Pod? Histories of Transmission for the Digital Age", Jonathan Sterne, Department of Art History & Communication Studies, McGill University

 Podcasting as Boradcasting...

 Note: My laptop kicked into 'jet engine' mode, so I had to give the box a rest, Thus a gap in my notes, sorry.

 Do check out the archive of this talk it was very good

Second Panel, Journalism & the Media Panel Discussion Permanent link to this item in the archive.

  • Sasha Norkin, Department of Journalism, Boston University

     the rise of citizen journalism

     Big media sees citizens journalists as a great way to get free content

     More and more folks have access to digital media creation tools, blogging tools, etc.

     easy creation and easy access

     podcasting is become more immeadiate, but there is still a delay. For news you are going to listen now, not get a feed

     NowPublic, audio news, but not a podcast

     Interesting, call a toll free number and record a message, it then turns up on web. Looks like its newish

     Where do you find citizen journalists podcasts?

  • Kenneth Rogerson, DeWitt Wallace Center for Media & Democracy, Duke University

     how is news defined these days?

     citizen journalism is not news for some folks

     new media is as broad and diverse as traditional media. So what makes new media 'new'?

     is it recentness?

     is it the distinctiveness of the source?

     Are bloggers journalists?

     new media helps get voices out, but still may not be heard.

     questions, questions, questions...

     students don't discriminate between news sources

  • Michele Hilmes, Department of Communication Arts, University of Wisconsin - Madison

     The meaning of live

     podcasting is not radio because it is not live.

     Good matrix, I wish the slides were available.

     Time/Space grid

      spatial presence | spatial absence

     temporal presence live - public address live telephone

      theater

     temporal absence recorded lip syncing recorded movies, podcasts

     politics of liveness

     early on, radio preferred live broadcast

     mark of quality, not for tech reasons but to uphold the business model.

     3 kinds of live

     simultaneous production and reception

     streaming continuous transmission

     presence, intimacy

     Web radio, satellite radio, podcasting all exhibit some aspects of liveness, but not all of them.

  • Tony Kahn , Special Correspondent & Alternate Anchor, The World

     What about the podcasting revolution? Who knows, too soon to tell.

     Podcasting is still free of the pressures of making big money fast or living up to a brand

     it is still a movement

     a nascent community

     a social game with simple tools and simple rules

     podcasting is a new neighborhood, only one year old

     relationship with podcast listeners tends to be fairly personal. podcasts are not a transmission, but the start of a conversation.

     NPR is slow to take up podcast as a way to create new content

     Use podcasts to get all of the sides of a story and use the podcasts to get real depth and understanding.
