Video downloading is where your company visitors must download your Web video clip to their laptops hard drive.

COPYRIGHT

Filed under: Publishing Center — admin @ 6:28 pm

What is copyright? No one can reproduce your work with-
out your permission - not even a personal letter. How much
of a writer’s work can be legitimately used? A poem of 40-50
words is generally considered to be OK. Usually one is not
allowed to copy substantial amounts of another writer’s work
without their express permission.

* But then what is meant by the word “substantial”? It is
widely open to interpretation and opens up a literary and
legal “minefield” (that’s a metaphor, by the way!).

There are no hard and fast guidelines about the rule of copy-
right. The following is a rough ‘rule of thumb’:

You can take approximately 300 words from a book or any
other lengthy work of writing. You can also quote 150 words
from a magazine article. Fifty (50) words quoted from a news-
paper article is generally considered to be “fair use” without
requiring either permission or a fee. Copyright lasts 50 years
after your death.

You can use what is termed ‘fair dealing’ in writing reports,
or researching material. I always advise acknowledging sources
in your reference section (the bibliography -
I tried very hard to bring in that impressive long word) .

It’s all very unclear - the entire subject of copyright; so I
won’t say too much. My simple words of advice are:
Just use your common sense and
discretion (if you have some)… and be HONEST by fol-
lowing your heart. Don’t copy other author’s material and
purport (nice word, eh?) to be the author. One should not
paraphrase a substantial amount of another author’s writing,
nor use that writer’s points (or theme of their writing)
without due ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Hint hint!

If you get into a dispute (oops!), there are specialised trade
and copyright laywers (or solicitors as they call them here in
‘civilised’ NZ) in the big centres. If in doubt, get advice…then
DON’T infringe copyright.

Send requests to use “borrowed” material to the permissions
editor of a magazine, newspaper or book publisher. Book
publishers usually have a small department which deals solely
in this. Give them as much information as possible about your
article or book, your publisher, as well as other books or articles
written by you. Tell them what quotes you want to use and
why and so on. Say you will give them due acknowledgement
in your writing. They’ll usually oblige.

There is sometimes a small fee payable. Always acknowledge
the sources of your quotations - then you’ve kept your word,
your side of the “bargain”.

Also keep copies of your correspondence in the event of an
unlikely dispute.

Now a bit for Kiwis (and Brits)…

No one can reproduce your work without your permission.
New Zealand law closely follows British law. In NZ copyright
is usually protected for 50 years after the author’s death. If a
book is published posthumously (nice long word that),
copyright extends for 75 years after the time of the author’s
death. After that the work can be freely used by anyone.
No hope for me then… but perhaps my great great grand-
children!

As from 1989, New Zealand copyright law requires 3 copies
of every NZ publication to go to the National Library in
Wellington. One of which goes to the Alexander Turnbull
Library, one to the National Library for bibliographical pur-
poses, while the third is kept at the Parliamentary Library in
the capital in Wellington.

Sometimes a publisher might want copyright in exchange for
a fee. My advice: It’s your work of art. So always retain your
copyright… unless you are in dire financial straits, like this
aspiring (and perspiring) writer. *

In the next lesson (and article) we will look at the subject of
plagiarism . Wow, that’s a big word and I hope I spelt it cor-
rectly (especially for you “slick Americans”)!

No , I don’t mind you using my material and I feel, it may be
very hard for another “writer” to closely copy my rather “wacky style
of hopefully informing and entertaining at the same time”.

Anyway, isn’t “imitation the sincerest form of flattery”?

A Poet To His Firstborn

Filed under: Publishing Center — admin @ 4:05 pm

Finally I found the lady
Who would be your mother and fairy

Lucky you for
She is all whom I could ever wish for

Your mother and I
Have been friends way before
We began to love each other

Or should I say,
In our hearts we have been loving each other
Long before we decided to be together

You may have come late in your parents’ lives
But that’s the very reason you are special
Not only to us but also to all the people
Who care about us

I promise you that
Whatever happens
We will give you everything
You will ever need

I’m sure too
That your mother will love you
As much as she loves me and as I love you

Just promise me two things:
As you grow up
Love to learn, read, and write
For this is the key to
Understanding the world and
Accepting thy neighbors for what and who they are

And most importantly
Love and respect your mother
As much as I respect and love her
