Fair Use for Scholars: from James Joyce to Harry Potter February 24, 2009
Posted by Andy Keck in : Copyright , add a commentJoin us to learn more about the impact of fair use on scholarship and free expression on Monday, March 2, 2009 at 5pm in the Schiciano Auditorium A (CIEMAS building). A reception will follow the program.
Anthony Falzone is Executive Director of Stanford University’s Fair Use Project and has defended fair use as an exception to copyright and a key “safety valve” for free expression in several high-profile cases. Anthony has argued successfully for fair use in the case of the Joyce scholar whose attempt to publish letters by Lucia Joyce was opposed by the Joyce estate and in defense of a short excerpt from the John Lennon song “Imagine” used in the Ben Stein movie “Expelled” and opposed by Yoko Ono. He also defended the Harry Potter Lexicon against an infringement claim by JK Rowling and is currently representing the street artist who made the iconic Barack Obama HOPE poster.
