[IP] more on reply to criticism Fwd: Re: [CSL Colloq] Controlling Digital Cloth * 4:15PM, Wed May 12, 2004 in Gates B03 (fwd)
I happen to disagree. Normally any employee can get a waiver for a talk
at a school. I have had NSA give open talks (they said what they wanted
people to hear of course). I just strongly believe that the University
should be open to all to talk and to hear.

I can't imagine a clearer-cut case of fair use than a researcher
showing clips of a work in a public lecture in order to talk about
how the clips were made.
I'm a staunch supporter of fair use rights (if you don't use 'em, you
lose 'em), but this issue is just *NOT* about fair use. Fair use is
all about third parties being able to make use of copyrighted materials
without the permission of the copyright owner. If Dennis, or anyone not
associated with ILM, were to be giving this talk then the whole area of
fair use would be appropriate for discussion.
However, in this situation, it's an employee of ILM and *NOT* a
third-party who is making this presentation. I'm certain that ILM is
either itself the copyright owner or, more likely, has specific
contracts with the copyright owners about how and when they may
duplicate the copyrighted works. As an employee of ILM, I also am
certain that Ari has signed employment agreements which explicitly
preclude making any unauthorized copies of ILM's copyrighted works or
the copyrighted works of their clients.
In other words, all of the complaints so far are akin to complaining
that ILM as a company should disregard their contracts and just allow
their clients' works to be copied -- and that is just not about fair
use.
