Slides:
The seminar will start discussing the various copyright considerations that must be taken into account during the digitisation of material collections and outlining the various layers of restrictions which might arise during user engagement with digital surrogates. We will then talk, more in detail, about the publication of images and interpretation of the terms ‘fair dealing’ and ‘commercial’ vs ‘non-commercial’.

Compare the copyright information available on these couples of digital projects. How easy is to retrieve such information? How clear are the terms? What they allow, and what they encourage, the users to do with their material? How does the copyright status of the digital documents affect the "ethos" of the project? Case studies:
- ArtUK vs Open Inheritance Art (The OIA website seems to be currently down. If problem persists, please look for information about the project online)
- Virtual World Heritage Laboratory vs Bridgeman Images & Italian Ministry of Culture Agreement
- The Nefertiti Hack. Is it a hoax?
