    Pen THE FAIR USE NETWORK: INFORMATION & RESOURCES FOR FREE EXPRESSION

    The Fair Use Network was created because of the many questions that artists, writers, and others have about "IP" issues. Whether you are trying to understand your own copyright or trademark rights, or are a "user" of materials created by others, the information here will help you understand the system — and especially its free-expression safeguards.

Insurance resource for documentary film makers

by Colette Vogele, posted on February 27, 2007 - 5:55am.

Lessig has announced on his blog the unique partnership between the Stanford Fair Use Project, a forward-thinking insurance company, and entertainment lawyer Michael Donaldson. This collaboration (or is it mash up?) allows documentary film makers who follow the Center for Social Media's Documentary Filmmakers' Statement of Best Practices to obtain insurance for their films at a reduced rate. If they get into a fair use-related scuffle, they'll get legal representation from the Fair Use Project or from a list of firms willing to represent at a reduced rate. Just another market driven solution to copyright concerns faced by media creators, brought to you by Lessig's team of extraordinary thinkers.
