so if you create something as a
[8]
copyright owner what are your rights
[11]
let's say I go to a short story called
[14]
alphabets and the first thing I do with
[19]
this is to put a copyright notice on it
[21]
which is not required but it's a good
[23]
idea for no other reason than to warn
[26]
people that you consider this your
[28]
property and in the three elements of a
[31]
copyright notice by the sea with a
[33]
circle your name and the date and you
[37]
can see this is an old presentation when
[41]
you wrote this work so here's what you
[44]
can do with your exclusive rights you
[47]
can make copies you can reproduce new
[49]
copies its copyright you can prepare
[53]
derivative works and by derivative works
[56]
I mean things that are based on your
[59]
original copyright it will work for
[62]
example you turn your short story into a
[64]
movie or you write a sequel to your
[67]
short story or you turn it into a TV
[70]
series or if you wrote a poem you might
[72]
make it into a song all of those are
[74]
considered derivative works number three
[79]
you have the exclusive right to
[81]
distribute those companies which is
[84]
usually done by sale but it can also be
[86]
rental it can be lending there's all
[89]
sorts of things that distribute could
[91]
mean if it's a work of the Performing
[95]
Arts such as a musical work or a
[100]
dramatic work or a choreographic work
[103]
you have the exclusive right to perform
[105]
that work or to give other people the
[108]
permission to perform in it number five
[112]
if you've done a work of art you have
[114]
the right to display that work and
[117]
finally this is the one where we all get
[119]
caught
[120]
this is where everything's seemingly
[122]
distributed these days is not the
[124]
internet it gives you the right to
[126]
broadcast your work digitally so those
[130]
are the exclusive rights reproduce
[132]
prepare derivatives distribute copies
[136]
perform the work display the work and
[139]
broadcast the work digitally and I put a
[142]
bundle of sticks up here because these
[144]
are usually known as the bundle of
[146]
Rights that come with copyright and as
[149]
any bundle they could be unbundled and
[152]
separated so you can give permission for
[154]
one person to make copies you could make
[158]
give permission to someone else to turn
[160]
your short story into a choreographic
[163]
work you could give someone else the
[167]
right to perform your choreographic work
[169]
in public whatever so these are the
[171]
kinds of ways you can break this up they
[174]
don't all have to go together however I
[177]
think you'll find that any of you sign
[179]
publication contracts usually the
[182]
publisher wants all of these rights not
[184]
just some of them although legally all
[186]
they need is a non-exclusive license to
[189]
reaper's to reproduce and distribute
[191]
those things that's all publishers
[194]
technically need so the copyright law is
[199]
more than just for the copyright creator
[203]
or the author it is also a balance and
[206]
if you look at the rest of the law you
[209]
will find it from sections 107 to 122
[212]
and the law begins with 101 so the first
[215]
sections are all about those rights but
[217]
from 107 to 120
[219]
which is the majority of the law are the
[221]
exceptions to those exclusive rights
[225]
that I just mentioned and here are all
[229]
of them and you can see they range from
[231]
fair use which we'll talk a lot about a
[234]
few minutes but a lot of them have to do
[236]
with certain types of you
[239]
[Music]
[243]
