Ann Marie Sullivan a third year law student at John Marshall Law School has written an interesting piece thinking about the intersections of cultural heritage and new media. From the abstract:

The application of new media to cultural heritage is consistent with the policy objectives that the copyright law of the United States stands to promote. However, the practical application of the law currently hinders these objectives, often stifling the creation and dissemination of new media works of cultural heritage. In this context, copyright law presents a problem and not a solution, a barrier and not a protection, dissuasion of creation and not encouragement and incentive. Defining the legal scope and reach of digital property and new media within the realm of art and cultural heritage law is critical for the benefit of creators, consumers, cultures, and society as a whole. Unless a modification is made, or a solution adopted, the problems presented by legal uncertainties and inadequacies will continue to operate in a manner contrary to the main purpose of copyright, “To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts.”

  1. How to get rid of acne scars?I don’t have any of those deep pore ones, I literally have little pinkish-purple dots from acne.Like a scar you’d get from scraping your knee, just smaller.How to get rid them without any of that laser crap.They aren’t that bad, but I hate having to wear concealer over them.

  2. Vielen Dank für diesen super interessanten Testbericht. Ich werde zwar auf absehbare Zeit bei meiner 650er Bandit bleiben, aber ich finde so einen persönlichen Bericht deutlich spannender und informativer als alles, was man so in den gängigen Zeitschriften und Fachwebseiten zu lesen bekommt.Freue mich schon auf die nächsten Berichte!
