One of the copyright problems today is…
 
Swedish Copyright Lag (1960) om upphovsrätt till litterära  och konstnärliga verk UPPHOVSRÄTTEN Ekonomisk rätt Ideell rätt Exemplarframställning Tillgängliggörande   Spridningsrätt Visningsrätt Framföranderätt Rätt till namnangivelse Skydd för kränkande ändring Skydd för kränkande användning Överföring till allmänheten
What is protected? The literary, artistic & ”spiritual creation” The creative form - but not motif/subject, facts or ideas Idea/expression dichotomy
Facts
How Automatic… but… The work is “new/innovative” Not too simple Creative Level Verkshöjd
Protection Length Creator - 70 years post mortem (year of death + 71) Anonymous works - 70 years after publication Photographers – 50 years after the picture was taken There are other lengths and exceptions…
Idea/expression dichotomy…
Ideas Donald Duck by Walt Disney Arne Anka by Charlie Christensen
Motifs…
Mona Lisa - Leonardo da Vinci ca 1503
Marcel Duchamp 1919
David Teixidor Buenaventura 2001
 
 
 
Mona Lisa Ascii
Peter Blake Party with La Giaconda 1999
 
 
 
 
Mujahidin Mona Lisa by Banksy
Fountain - Duchamp (1917)
“ The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act”
Theoretical Foundations Culture is communication Intertextuality & Meaning: The meaning of the artifact lies in the observer (Barthes) and meaning is created through several texts (Kristeva).

then we add technology…
In the beginning there was technology…
Life is organised around technology and it always has been! (this is not technological determinism)
Copyright is the logical expression of the analog world. It was created as a result of the printing press.  (Victor Hugo & Berne)
Disruptive Technology
The disruption occurs when the technology, which is introduced effects the social arrangements around which we build our lives
 
Impulse: Control
What’s wrong with Command and Control? It relies to heavily upon coercion and cooperation.
Popular move from passive culture consumers to cultural developers… Whatever would Duchamp say?
Remix conflict
I've been around so long, I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin. Graucho Marx
