Always appreciate 🙏🏼 @rtushnet.bsky.social’s blogging! So helpful to review feedback on my projects and catch-up on all the fascinating IP talks that I missed.

In the wake of this news from UNC, I'm seeing some talk about copyright ownership and faculty scholarship.
If you're interested in the topic, here's a good explainer from from @authorsalliance.bsky.social:
Huge thank you to the fabulous Prof. @kristelia.bsky.social for the kind and thoughtful #JOTWELL review of my forthcoming article, Copyrighting Nature.
I had so much fun writing this paper! 🪼 🦀 🪲 🦖 (draft article available here: lnkd.in/gASYd5_c)
Thank you! 🙏🏼
true... but maybe better than over-enforcement? 😉
congrats. your post brought all the copyright nerds to the yard.
I'm more comfortable with the King court's ruling that the use was "commercial" where he simply reposted the meme/work (without any changes or added meaning) with a link to "fund our memes" on campaign $ site. I don't agree with the Henley court's finding of commercial use
adding my 🐢🐢: most political uses of copyrighted works are considered noncommercial, but not all! In both Henley v. DeVore (Boys of Summer) and Griner v. King (Success Kid meme), courts found uses to solicit campaign donations (exploiting (c) material) w/o paying customary price = commercial use
