Sykes addresses the relevance of the de minimis defense to music sampling copyright infringement cases and offers an alternative hypothetical standard to the tests currently used by the circuit courts. He also demonstrates that the currently employed formulations of the de minimis defense do not adhere to the policy behind copyright law. Further, he examines the de minimis defense and its use in two recent circuit cases dealing with sampling in copyright infringement actions.
Hiring free-lancers has legal implications that employers should carefully consider. Legal problems can arise when the work of a free-lance writer, photographer or artist is used in more than one project. While it may seem sensible for cost-conscious companies to get double mileage out of material they have already paid for, doing so may be considered a copyright infringement and may expose them to legal risk. Freelancers may be able to demand new payment for the new use of their work if the original agreement does not specify that the party commissioning the work has purchased the freelancer's copyright. Copyright law states that the creator of any work owns the work's copyright, except in cases when the 'author' of the work is bound by the 'work-for-hire' arrangement or is an employee...
Economic analysis has long suggested that there are two distinct categories of cases in which the fair use defense, which permits the unauthorized reproduction and other use of copyrighted materials, should apply.

NORMAL - An Illinois State University student club thats met several years to watch and discuss movies has landed in the middle of a copyright controversy.But in this plot, is the ISU group the villain or the victim?That depends on whom you ask.East Coast-based New Yorker Films says Illinois State University owes $8,000 for the ISU Cinema Societys showing of 22 of the companys films over a four- year period.That amount still is being debated, however, as several of the screenings in question actually were shown at the Normal Theater, and only advertised on the ISU groups Web site, said ISU spokesman Jay Groves. "The real amount could be closer to $5,000," he said.The club hasnt shown a film since organizers became aware of the New Yorker Films accusation in December, he said. On the ISU...
