Presented by Matthias Arnold, at the Annual Conference of the Visual Resources Association, March 12-15, 2014 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Session 9, Case Studies in International Copyright Compliance: Untangling the Web of Publishing and Sharing Copyrighted Content Online ORGANIZERS: Cara Hirsch, Artstor Allan Kohl, Minneapolis College of Art and Design (on behalf of the VRA Intellectual Property Rights Committee) Vicky Brown, University of Oxford (on behalf of the VRA International Task Force) MODERATOR: Allan Kohl, Minneapolis College of Art and Design Vicky Brown, University of Oxford PRESENTERS: • Matthias Arnold, University of Heidelberg (Germany) • Vicky Brown, University of Oxford (United Kingdom) • Marta Bustillo, National College of Art and Design, Dublin (Ireland) • Lavinia Ciuffa, American Academy in Rome (Italy) • Marika Sarvilahti, Aalto University, Helsinki (Finland) Teachers, students and scholars have long been able to rely on fair use in making content available for teaching, research and study within the United States. However, such protections don’t exist outside the United States. This session explores the various ways that visual resource professionals have addressed copyright compliance issues when making images available for educational and scholarly purposes outside of the United States. Using various case studies, the session will address the sharing of image resources between and among different institutions, determining when and how images can be made available to the general public, creating image-based research collaborations across national boundaries, and the international aspects of publishing with images.
