LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

A Las Vegas-based company filed a federal lawsuit Friday that accuses U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle of reprinting two Review-Journal articles on her campaign website without permission.

The limited liability company, Righthaven, has filed dozens of similar copyright infringement cases since it was established earlier this year.

Righthaven LLC vigorously enforces the copyrighted work of Review-Journal reporters, columnists and editors,” said Mark Hinueber, the newspaper’s vice president and general counsel. “We expect everyone to comply with the copyright laws of the United States. It is never appropriate to utilize entire Review-Journal articles or columns without prior, express written permission of the newspaper.”

Why can IAN share this with readers?

One of the rights accorded to the owner of copyright is the right to reproduce or to authorize others to reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords. This right is subject to certain limitations found in sections 107 through 118 of the copyright law (title 17, U. S. Code). One of the more important limitations is the doctrine of “fair use.” The doctrine of fair use has developed through a substantial number of court decisions over the years and has been codified in section 107 of the copyright law.

Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:

1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes (We use it for non commercial and educational purposes)

2. The nature of the copyrighted work

3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole

4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work

IAN ALWAYS puts a link to any article we share and NEVER use the whole article so that we actually encourage readers to go to the original site… Just like we did here.

In January of this year less than 300 dropped by per day.
