I would imagine that the series that shows second-run films (I think they were showing Date Movie last week) pay a fee to show the film.<BR/><BR/>A movie series that was open to the public should either pay a licensing fee or have a letter from the copyright owner giving permsision.<BR/><BR/>We are trying to balance the copyright law with the most expansive reading of fair-use we can establish.<BR/><BR/>Now that you mention it, I can see how the permission/payment process has dropped out of our discussion and might be confusing.<BR/><BR/>Karl LoewensteinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12426239.post-1146882673553933192006-05-05T21:31:00.000-05:002006-05-05T21:31:00.000-05:00Regarding number 5. - Attendance at any film scree...Regarding number 5. - Attendance at any film screened by a student group on campus should be limited to students, faculty, and staff of UW Oshkosh. Student groups screening films should check student identifications before a film can be shown.<BR/><BR/>That seems backwards. Isn't one element of the university educating and serving the communities in which they exist? What is the Wisconsin Idea - has it now become separatist and elitist since i left school?<BR/><BR/>Being facetious... It would be ironic to organize an evening with, say, Ray McGovern, including a talk followed by a movie he is touring with. What would happen, first Howard gives his talk, and then we ask him to leave for the movie because he doesn't have the proper ID?<BR/><BR/>Also, this policy seems too strict, in that there doesn't seem to be room for screening films that explicitly state that screening is free and open to anyone. Often times political films are made to be shown freely and will offer a disclaimer.<BR/><BR/>Also, as a student organizer, I would often write to a film producer and receive a written permission to screen the film in the setting described - usually reeve ballroom open to everyone.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm reading this the wrong way though.

Will there be an article this week, that interviews Kercher or the other for their side of the story?Lake Winneblogohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063703316063246957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12426239.post-1146703679524120742006-05-03T19:47:00.000-05:002006-05-03T19:47:00.000-05:00This seems to me (as a student) that the revised p...This seems to me (as a student) that the revised policy proposed is more understanding of our purpose as a University. The guidelines now in place are far too restrictive to serve any real purpose. Its narrow thinking seems to be a knee jerk reaction to a small issue. How come the students haven't heard more about this issue on campus? Or am I just not on campus enough? I think that when properly used (as proposed in the guidelines from the history department) movies are a significant medium for ideas, and they are ideas that can positively impact the student body.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
