OTW Fannews: Asking and Getting
Jul. 30th, 2015 10:42 amotw_staff
The Daily Dot discussed Funimation's fanart stance with OTW Legal staffer Rebecca Tushnet. "'[I]t’s notable that there’s no mention of fair use...Fan art can be non-infringing fair use; elements of whether it is fair use include how transformative it is (how much new meaning and message it adds); whether it’s commercial or not; and whether it displaces a market for 'official' goods.'
So it doesn't matter that they've declared they won't be going after commercially sold fanart? Not necessarily, according to Tushnet: 'It somewhat depends on what they actually do, but they are clearly claiming that fan art is in fact infringing copyright, even if they indicate they usually tolerate it. So I wouldn’t feel very reassured by this statement.'"
When should something be in the public domain? What about fair use for fanworks, plus does charity start in fandom? http://bit.ly/1SP78ru

New Media Literacy - Part II
Dec. 8th, 2008 01:38 pmbethbethbeth.livejournal.comMirrored from an original post on the OTW blog.
Part Two of Henry Jenkins' spotlight on OTW's vidding documentaries for MIT's New Media Literacies project is now online: Fan Vidding: A Labor Of Love (Part Two). We'd like to thank Henry, as well as MIT/NML, for giving us the opportunity to showcase fan vidding.
If you liked our documentaries, you might be interested in the others: there are documentaries on cosplay, the narrative structure of comic books, animation, DJ culture (including sampling, mashups, and remixing), wikis and other subjects of interest to fans.

OTW promotes New Media Literacy

Vidding News: Henry Jenkins has posted part one of his spotlight on the vidding documentaries made by the OTW for MIT's New Media Literacies project. The post, called "Fan Vidding: A Labor Of Love (Part One)", profiles the first three videos and features excerpts from director (and OTW Board Member) Francesca Coppa. (Fans might also want to check out NML's introductory video on the new media literacies. The rest of the world is finally catching up with fandom; media educators want their students to be able to do what fans do, to know what fans know.)
