This week Ian and Ben deal with the little gremlins in the audio equipment. (Or in Ben’s case, his cat.) Folks at home can play along and spot each issue that comes up. After a little catch up, Ian shows us some of the code he’s been working on with shaders. Then it’s time for the news.
Moving along to our main subject this week, Ben tries (and probably fails) to explain the concept of Orphan Works in layman’s terms. That concept being, when the copyright holder of a piece of content somebody wants to use can not be found through a good faith search to credit and pay them properly, the work can’t be used outside of when fair use applies. This is a concern for people looking to reinvigorate that material in new ways, as they can’t legally move forward if the current copyright owner isn’t known. However, previous attempts to address this have come under fire by creators as potentially orphaning their works and destroying existing copyright protections.
We here at NoRights Productions obviously care deeply about protecting creators’ rights. We know it’s a lot to wade through but feel it’s important that people stay calm and look at the facts. Currently there is no proposed bill, only a report, Orphan Works and Mass Digitization: A Report of the Register of Copyrights. You can read it and submit comment.
Finally, Frank ducks out to spend time with his wife while Doug and Ben hunker down and go head to head in some Archie comics trivia. Who will emerge victorious this week? Tune in to find out!
