Public Domain First Aid Kit Personal Use Ebook

Sample Content Preview

There are instances where certain elements of a resource may be in the Public Domain, but other elements are not. This type of scenario is mostly prevalent with recorded media, such as film, video or audio recordings. An example of this would be the television program, The Beverly Hillbillies. Some of the show’s episodes are now in the public domain; however, the theme music is protected by copyright. One approach that some businesses have used in this situation is to remove the protected music and provide different, royalty-free music in its place. The most important point here is to do your research homework! More complete explanations of this type of copyright scenario can be found at Copyright.gov.

Privacy and Publicity Rights

“Privacy and publicity rights reflect separate and distinct interests from copyright interests. Patrons desiring to use materials from this website bear the responsibility of making individualized determinations as to whether privacy and publicity rights are implicated by the nature of the materials and how they may wish to use such materials.

“While copyright protects the copyright holder’s property rights in the work or intellectual creation, privacy and publicity rights protect the interests of the person(s) who may be the subject(s) of the work or intellectual creation. Issues pertaining to privacy and publicity may arise when a researcher contemplates the use of letters, diary entries, photographs or reportage in visual, audio, and print formats found in library collections. Because two or more people are often involved in the work (e.g., photographer and subject, interviewer and interviewee) and because of the ease with which various media in digital format can be reused, photographs, audio files, and motion pictures represent materials in which issues of privacy and publicity emerge with some frequency.
