I love this picture - it looks so peaceful and beautiful; a place where you could simply sit and relax and think and discover that time has evaporated around you like the mist!

Wednesday, May 14, 2008 — GLOBAL IP STRATEGY, IP ON THE NET Derivative works, evergreening and copyright freedom to operateby Duncan BucknellWilliam Patry's post last week on Infringement and Derivative Works was a nice reminder about some of the issues underlying a topic I posted on back in March - Copyright Evergreening. In William's post, he explained how by copying a public domain work which is a derivative work, you may still infringe copyright in the original work (if copyright still exists). (William also explains some US-specific issues relating to registration of copyright , which are worth a read.) The point is that each work has its own copyright protection, regardless of who made it, where or when, etc, So, how to avoid copyright infringement? Don't copy, get a licence, or work your way through the quagmire to sort out what copyright, if any still exists, and what it extends to.
