The problem of copyright infringement and law enforcement against the use/sale of fan art without permission on the internet based on Law Number 28 of 2014 is the focus of research on the Director General of IPR Kemenkumham Lampung Regional Office. Normative juridical and empirical juridical methodologies are the methods used in this research. The results showed that the factors of copyright infringement on the use/sale of fan art of others without permission on the internet are the lack of knowledge and understanding of the public to copyright protection, seeking personal gain for commercial purposes, and law enforcement in copyright is still weak. Act No. 28 Year 2014 regulates the offense of complaint against copyright in the form of verbal reprimand through the mass media without a lawsuit for compensation. The author suggests the government, together with IPR institutions, socialize with the public about the importance of copyright, infringement, and its impact and can report if there is a violation with strong evidence.

Copyright Protection in the Digital Age: Addressing Challenges and Finding Solutions in Indonesian Civil Law

This research aims to identify the challenges faced in enforcing such legal protection. In the current digital era, advances in information and communication technology have had a major impact on various aspects of life including the creation and dissemination of intellectual works, which opens up opportunities for copyright infringement. This research uses a normative juridical approach with a qualitative descriptive analysis method. Data is collected through literature study and analysis of laws and regulations related to copyright protection and intellectual property rights. Primary data based on Law Number 28 of 2014 on Copyright, and secondary data collected from previous related research journals and other official documents. The research found that the legal protection of copyright and intellectual property rights in the digital era in Indonesia still faces various challenges. These challenges include the speed and volume of digital content dissemination, anonymity and global jurisdiction, and the effectiveness of Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology. Although Law No. 28/2014 on Copyright has regulated the economic and moral rights of creators, law enforcement is still ineffective. To overcome these challenges, a comprehensive and collaborative approach is needed between the government, digital platforms, copyright owners, and the public. Some of the proposed solutions include improved automatic detection technology using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, harmonization of international copyright law, DRM technology reform, simplification and transparency of the copyright infringement reporting process, and increased public awareness and education regarding the importance of copyright and intellectual property rights.

The importance of copyright and shared norms for credit in Open Educational Resources

Open Educational Resources (OER) are reducing barriers to education while allowing creators the opportunity to share their work with the world and continue owning copyright of their work. To support new authors and adaptors in the OER space, we provide an overview of common considerations that creators and adaptors of OER should make with respect to issues related to copyright in the context of OER. Further, and importantly, a challenge in the OER space is ensuring that original creators receive appropriate credit for their work, while also respecting the credit of those who have adapted work. Thus, in addition to providing important considerations when it comes to the creation of open access works, we propose shared norms for ensuring appropriate attribution and credit for creators and adaptors of OER.

Scandinavian Transformations of Dracula

A couple of years after the publication of Bram Stoker’s classic vampire novel Dracula, different versions were published in one Icelandic and two Swedish newspapers. The Icelandic version could be a translation of the shorter Swedish version. Both explore the Transylvanian part considerably. The longest version of Mörkrets makt was republished in Swedish in 2017. What is intriguing is that no English original has been found, and the question is whether an original exists or has existed or if the Swedish and Icelandic newspapers have expanded on the text, and whether this was done with Stoker’s consent or not? International copyright laws were not signed by these countries at that time, but there are hints that Stoker had accepted these new parts, but did he? The importance of copyright is still truly relevant, so this will be discussed briefly. Another significant aspect is that the ‘Scandinavian’ Dracula turns out to have fascistic ambitions. The intention here is to analyse the texts, compare them and see to what extent they coincide and if it is possible to see whether somebody else has written the new parts of Dracula or if it seems to be a homogeneous work by Stoker, where the author for some reason had chosen to leave out some parts or has added parts later.

Canon Doyle?: Getting Holmes Right (and Getting the Rights) for Television

The importance of copyright with regard to television versions of literary works has only recently begun to be considered in adaptations studies, but offers an intriguing perspective not only on what can be transferred, but how. Few characters have been adapted more frequently than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, yet the majority of his screen adventures have taken the form of pastiches or parodies; in Holmes’ country of origin, only a handful of series featuring the detective have derived directly from Doyle’s work. This was due in no small part to the limitations imposed in the United Kingdom by the Conan Doyle estate, which maintained strict control of the character’s television representations until the early 1980s; at this time the stories entered the public domain, Granada Television’s acclaimed series with Jeremy Brett swiftly following. This article, however, focuses on earlier attempts by the BBC to transfer Holmes to the small screen: a short-lived 1951 series, featuring Alan Wheatley; and the 1965 and 1968 productions, starring first Douglas Wilmer and later Peter Cushing. Each strove to be as faithful as possible to Doyle’s original material, due largely to the watchful eye—and insistent specifications—of the copyright holders, sons Denis and Adrian. Drawing upon material from the BBC’s Written Archives, ‘Canon Doyle?’ investigates the extent to which the continuing influence of Doyle’s offspring interacted with the exigencies of screen adaptation—and the ambitions of the creative teams—to shape these television interpretations.

Copyright Review: Issues for Cultural Practice

In this paper the focus is on the scope of the terms of reference of the ALRC and the importance of copyright in a modern digitally orientated world. The paper also analyses other important initiatives and reports in this area, focusing on the changing ‘political economy’ and cultural impact on copyright issues and, in particular the challenges for copyright law.

Removable type: histories of the book in Indian country, 1663-1880

In 1663, the Puritan missionary John Eliot, with the help of a Nipmuck convert whom the English called James Printer, produced the first Bible printed in North America. It was printed not in English but in Algonquian, making it one of the first books printed in a Native language. In this ambitious and multidisciplinary work, Phillip Round examines the relationship between Native Americans and printed books over a two-hundred-year period, uncovering the individual, communal, regional, and political contexts for Native peoples' use of the printed word. From the northeastern woodlands to the Great Plains, Round argues, alphabetic literacy and printed books mattered greatly in the emergent, transitional cultural formations of indigenous nations threatened by European imperialism. Removable Type showcases the varied ways that Native peoples produced and utilized printed texts over time, approaching them as both opportunity and threat. Surveying this rich history, Round addresses such issues as the role of white missionaries and Christian texts in the dissemination of print culture in Indian Country, the establishment of national publishing houses by tribes, the production and consumption of bilingual texts, the importance of copyright in establishing Native intellectual sovereignty (and the sometimes corrosive effects of reprinting thereon), and the significance of illustrations.
