TechWeb - When magazine editors get down to the business of choosing cover art, they know they have one chance to grab a reader's attention. Some weeks it's easier than others.

Over the last 23 years, as Senior Art Director of InformationWeek, I've worked up hundreds of concepts into magazine covers that have pulled readers in and said, "Look here. You must read this." My own work parallels the changes in technology documented in every issue of the magazine. ... ...

Well, it looks like Psystar went from back alley boutique Mac cloner to being a defendant in a lawsuit in no time. Hopefully the cloner dudes spent their money on good lawers because, say what you will about Apple, one thing they do very well is sue people. "We take it very seriously when we believe people have stolen our intellectual property," said an Apple spokeswoman on Tuesday. The spokeswoman said she was not immediately able to state what Apple is seeking from Psystar in terms of damages and penalties. Ongoing Discussion ... Source: www.moreover.com --- 8 days ago

This week, the Stanford Center for Internet and Society's Fair Use Project struck a telling blow in the battle to protect fair use. A US District Judge issued an opinion holding that the producers and distributors of the documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed are likely to prevail on their fair use defense in a Copyright infringement Suit brought by Yoko Ono. As part of the film's commentary on the treatment of "intelligent design" in academia, the filmmakers included a snippet of John Lennon's "Imagine," highlighting the lyrics "Nothing to kill or die for / And no religion too." The filmmakers did not seek a license to use parts of "Imagine" in the film. This case builds on the Second Circuit's groundbreaking 2006 case, Bill Graham Archives v. Dorling Kindersley Ltd. , in which the Second Circuit noted that "courts are more willing to find a secondary use fair when it produces a value that benefits the broader public interest." In the current case, a bevy of interesting facts give rise to a good example of the balancing act that informs fair use -- the notorious four factors that are "weighed together, in light of the purposes of Copyright." In the opinion, the judge explores reasons that the 15-second sample might not be a fair use, such as the fact that film is a commercial work, and that the "Imagine" excerpt could be qualitatively significant as "the heart" of the copyrighted work. But the judge ultimately finds that th ... Source: www.thenewstribune.com --- 20 days ago
