Dave Davis focuses on the “before”, “in process” and “final” versions of articles, which is to say, preprints, postprints, and the “versions of record.”
In this fourth post of the series, Dave Davis revisits the CASE Act, and, specifically, how the new Copyright Claims Board (CCB) might be of use to bloggers and podcasters in addressing circumstances where their copyrights appear to have been infringed.
As containing original expression in a fixed form, the content of podcasts are rather obviously subject to copyright protection by the “author” – whether that is an individual person or a corporate entity.
A blog may seem quite like a personal newsletter or maybe a newspaper at first glance, but, according to the US Copyright Office (USCO), a blog may not be registered either as a newsletter or as a newspaper.
