Session 8 - Last Bits and pieces on Copyright

International Agreements

Extract from Wikipedia:
While no creative work is automatically protected worldwide, there are international treaties which provide protection automatically for all creative works as soon as they are fixed in a medium. There are two primary international copyright agreements, the Buenos Aires Convention and the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works.

WIPO treaties

WIPO is the global forum for intellectual property services, policy, information and cooperation. For more details, visit the website:
http://www.wipo.int/portal/en/

Berne Convention

Extract from Wikipedia:
The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (also referred to as just the Berne Convention) requires protection for all creative works in a fixed medium be automatic, and last for at least 50 years after the author's death for any work except for photographic and cinematographic works. Photographic works are tied to a minimum of 25 years. Cinematographic works are protected for 50 years after first showing, or 50 years after creation if it hasn't been shown within 50 years after the creation. The Berne Convention also allows for the rule of the shorter term, stating that "unless the legislation of that country otherwise provides, the term shall not exceed the term fixed in the country of origin of the work". Not all countries have applied this rule however.

WIPO Copyright Treaty

The WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) is a special agreement under the Berne Convention that deals with the protection of works and the rights of their authors in the digital environment.

Full details available here:
http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/text.jsp?file_id=295166

AUSFTA

From Wikipedia:
The Australia – United States Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA) is a preferential trade agreement between Australia and the United States modelled on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The AUSFTA was signed on 18 May 2004 and came into effect on 1 January 2005. 


Intellectual Property is one of the provisions included in the agreement.

Extracts From Wikipedia:
Australia agreed to extend its copyright expiration period from 50 to 70 years after the author's death where copyright is calculated on the basis of the life of a natural person, and 70 years after the first performance or publication in other cases.

The agreement expands the rights of patent holders.

The agreement requires legal enforcement of digital rights management systems, however an Australian legislative committee has issued a report stating that this portion of the treaty has a "significant flaw": while the agreement provides permitted exceptions allowing the use of copyright access circumvention devices, it also disallows access to the tools used for such circumvention. The report goes on to term it a "lamentable and inexcusable flaw", an "egregious flaw", and even a "flaw that verges on absurdity". The committee expressed the strong view that the Government must find a solution to the flaw before implementing this portion of the treaty.

The provisions of the AUSFTA in Ch 17 required Australia to offer stronger protection to American intellectual property. In particular, the minimum term of copyright was extended to 70 years after the author's death. Most economists and others interested in intellectual property issues regarded this as undesirable. A number of prominent American economists took the same view in the case of Eldred v. Ashcroft.

Other key changes included:

•     special copyright term extension for photographs
•     broader definition of technological protection measures, narrow exceptions, and review process
•     protection of temporary copies
•     stronger protection of electronic rights management information
•     protection of pay television broadcasts
•     safe harbour provisions for Internet Service Providers
•     protection of performers' economic and moral rights in respect of sound recordings
•     broader civil and criminal offences

Marrakesh VIP Treaty

Not because I love Wikipedia, but because it is usually easier to understand than some of the other websites:
Wikipedia Extract:
The Marrakesh VIP Treaty, formally the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works by Visually Impaired Persons and Persons with Print Disabilities, is a treaty signed in Marrakesh, Morocco, on 28 June 2013.

The treaty focuses on copyright exceptions to facilitate the creation of accessible versions of books and other copyrighted works. It sets a norm for countries ratifying the treaty to have a domestic copyright exception covering these activities, and allowing for the import and export of such materials. The full text of the treaty is available on the WIPO website. (Treaty not enforced yet)

Fifty-one countries signed the treaty as of the close of the diplomatic conference in Marrakesh. The ratification of 20 states is needed for the treaty to go into effect.

About the Licences http://creativecommons.org.au/learn/licences

Using a licence or licenced material http://creativecommons.org.au/learn/howto

How should I provide attribution?

No matter which of the six licences are applied, you must always attribute the creator of the material.

To provide appropriate credit, you must:

        Provide the author’s name and the title of the work
        If possible, provide a link back to the source of the work
        Provide a link to the CC licence that applies to the original work
        Indicate if you made any changes to the work
        Keep intact any copyright notice the author has provided

This information can be displayed in a variety of ways; there is not one distinct way to attribute.

Attribution fact sheet http://creativecommons.org.au/content/attributingccmaterials.pdf

Providing proper attribution ensures that the original creator is acknowledged for their work and shows subsequent users that they are also free to use the work under the same conditions.

Assessment Task 1

1. Explain the 6 licences of Creative Commons.

2. Use the Internet to find CC licenced images. For each of the CC Licences, you are to find and download two images using that licence. Create a document that has a paragraph describing each image, followed by the image correctly attributed.

3. You work for the Mysty River Regional Library Service as their local Historian. You have a large number of images and old video/movies that have been donated over the years for the library to use at its discretion. Would you advise MRRLS to allow these to be licenced under Creative Commons? Why/Why not? Prepare a report to the MRRLS communications manager outlining your recommendations - 800-1000 words. There is no right answer - use what you know about Copyright and the various creative commons licences to justify your response.

Session 5 - Introduction To Copyright

Before we start, Take the Quiz to see how much you already know about Copyright. The Quiz is available on Moodle.

What is Copyright?

In Australia, copyright law is contained in the Commonwealth Copyright Act 1968 (Copyright Act).

A simple definition of copyright is that it is a bunch of rights in certain creative works such as text, artistic works, music, computer programs, sound recordings and films. The rights are granted exclusively to the copyright owner to reproduce the material, and for some material, the right to perform or show the work to the public. Copyright owners can prevent others from reproducing or communicating their work without their permission or may sell these rights to someone else.

Copyright does not protect ideas, concepts, styles or techniques. For example, copyright will not protect an idea for a film or book, but it will protect a script for the film or even a storyboard for the film.

Copyright is a separate right to the property right in an object. For example, this means that the person may own a book or painting will not also own the copyright in the book or painting unless it has been specifically assigned to them.

In Australia, copyright protection is automatic. There is no need for copyright registration in Australia, nor is there a legal requirement to publish the work or to put a copyright notice on it. A work will be protected as soon as it is put into material form, such as being written down or recorded in some way (filmed or recorded on an audio tape).

Discussion

Give some examples of some items that would be covered by Copyright.

Give some examples of things that may not be covered by Copyright.

Do you have items that you have created that are covered by Copyright? What are they? Discuss.

Do I (Michele Hardy) own the Copyright on the notes that I create in my own time (like these)?

Last week I was asked by our marketing department to take some photos of students in a classroom for an newspaper editorial. All students completed a release agreement allowing their image to be used for this purpose. Who owns Copyright? Discuss.

Misconceptions

Here are some common mistakes people make about copyright:

• You must register copyright in Australia otherwise the work is copyright free

• No formal registration of copyright is required in Australia. This means you should generally assume that content will be protected by copyright.

•  If there is no copyright symbol or notice, then the work is copyright free
• The absence of a copyright symbol or notice on a work does not mean that the copyright owner has abandoned their copyright or has granted an implied licence for anyone to use or reproduce or communicate their work.

• Once a work is published or in the public domain, anyone can use it
• The fact that a work has been published or is made freely available does not mean that:
  the copyright owner has abandoned their copyright

• the work has entered the public domain and is no longer protected by copyright

• If you wish to copy and/or communicate to the public the whole or a substantial part of the work, it must be done either:

• with the permission of the copyright owner

• under the free use or other statutory exception (See 1.13: Copyright Exceptions for further information)

• under relevant Statutory Licence scheme (See 1.11: Statutory and Voluntary Licences for further information)

• I am not infringing copyright if I am not making any money from my use of the material
  Your use may infringe copyright irrespective of whether you are making any money or profit from the use.

Session 4 - Controlling Hazards

Hazards and Risks

A hazard is anything in the workplace that has the potential to harm people.

Hazards can include objects in the workplace, such as machinery or dangerous chemicals.

Other hazards relate to the way work is done. For instance, hazards on a production line could include manual handling, excessive noise and fatigue caused by the pace of work.

A risk arises when it's possible that a hazard will actually cause harm. The level of risk will depend on factors such as how often the job is done, the number of workers involved and how serious any injuries that result could be.

Above information from:
https://www.worksafe.vic.gov.au/safety-and-prevention/health-and-safety-topics/controlling-ohs-hazards-and-risks/about-hazards-and-risks/what-are-hazards-and-risks

Information regarding Hazards and Risks and Controlling them:
https://www.worksafe.vic.gov.au/safety-and-prevention/health-and-safety-topics/controlling-ohs-hazards-and-risks


A safe workplace doesn't happen by chance or guesswork. It requires a systematic approach to finding and fixing hazards and risks.

This approach ensures the highest level of protection is in place for people at work. It begins with consulting staff on any potential health and safety issues and typically follows four steps:

1.        Finding hazards in the workplace that could hurt people

2.        Figuring out (assessing) how people can be hurt and the likelihood of the hazards hurting people (the level of risk)

3.        Fixing the problems by deciding on the most effective risk controls that are reasonably practicable under the circumstances

4.        Reviewing your risk controls and checking that they work

GROUP ASSESSMENT TASK

South East TAFE is an educational facility located in the South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Head Office is in Cranbourne, which is also where the organisation's OHS representatives are located.

On Thursday morning 07/05/15 at around 9:15, Marcus Johnston, a staff member at the Frankston Campus, was shelving the returns from overnight, using the trolley as per safety guidelines. When he got to the second set of shelves, the wheels of the trolley got caught on a frayed piece of carpet, which caused Marcus to stumble, bringing down the trolley with him and sending books flying.

Marcus hit his head on the shelves, cutting it and causing it to bleed. He initially visited the local medical centre that does not bulk bill. They put stitches in his wound and advised him to attend at the hospital if he felt dizzy or nauseous at any stage. The charge at the medical centre was $58.

Later that evening, he started to feel unwell and almost fainted, so he caught a taxi to the local hospital emergency. The Taxi cost him $75.

He has been in hospital for 8 days and has just been released, but the doctor has recommended that he rest  for another 7 days. The doctor has given him a medical certificate for the 8 days he was hospitalised plus the next 7 days.

Frankston:

You are the "workers".

What do you need to do to report the incident?

Write a checklist/procedure of the steps you need to complete to ensure that the "employers" (Cranbourne) have all of the required information.

Complete all appropriate forms - available on the workcover website.

Cranbourne:

You are the "Employers".

What do you need to do once you have been made aware of the incident?

Write a checklist/procedure of the steps you need to complete to ensure that Workcover are informed and that South East TAFE abide by any regulations.

Complete all appropriate forms.

This is worth 30% of your grade for this unit.

Session 2 - Compliance Codes

"Compliance codes provide practical guidance to those who have duties or obligations under the OHS Act. They aim to provide easy to understand information on how to comply.

This information, if applied appropriately, will mean those who follow it are deemed to have complied with their obligations under the OHS Act."

The Industry and Work Health and Safety

Working in a library, whether it be within a school or a public library, comes under the Education industry in regards to WHS. So what are the risks within the Education sector?

The Victorian education sector employs almost 200,000 people across three main areas:

• schools (including government and non-government, primary and secondary, as well as mainstream and special schools)
• higher education (including universities, TAFE colleges and community education facilities)
• libraries and museums

Managing health and safety in the sector is complicated by:

• the increasing use of contractors, on-hired workers, temporary staff and volunteers
• the decentralisation of OHS duties to each worksite (e.g. each school, campus, stand-alone library or museum)
• the diversity of workplaces involved, ranging from small single-teacher schools through to large universities, and from small museums to large state libraries
• the public has access to these workplaces during lectures, meeting, concerts and other events

What Are The Risks?

The biggest risks to people working in the education sector are:

• manual handling (e.g. lifting or moving objects, assisting students in special schools and repetitive movements such as typing)
• stress (e.g. from work pressures)
• slips, trips and falls
• machinery and equipment
• dealing with people who could be aggressive or could exhibit unpredictable behaviour

These risks generally apply in some form across the sector, regardless of the type of workplace, from office and classroom environments to practical workshops and special schools.

Ergonomics

What is Ergonomics?

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_factors_and_ergonomics

Human factors and ergonomics (HF&E), also known as comfort design, functional design, and user-friendly systems, is the practice of designing products, systems or processes to take proper account of the interaction between them and the people who use them.

HF&E is employed to fulfill the goals of occupational health and safety and productivity. It is relevant in the design of such things as safe furniture and easy-to-use interfaces to machines and equipment. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries and other musculoskeletal disorders, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability.

Human factors and ergonomics is concerned with the "fit" between the user, equipment and their environments. It takes account of the user's capabilities and limitations in seeking to ensure that tasks, functions, information and the environment suit each user.
