I saved the email, but didn't read the article, since it was about a million years long. I will try to find the will and time to read it at some point...
I took a class on multimedia, so we had to learn about copyright, since half of the assignments basically involved ripping works. I just don't remember all of the details.
Illustrations that are almost 100 years old being used in an academic journal is copyright infringement? That's sad.
Indeed. Especially, in an academic journal, depending on its purpose, may fall under the general fair use rule that works can be used for educational purposes.
(OT: I definitely just stole a Maglor quote and used it on my friend, entirely out of context. Go me.)
Yes, with corporations, copyrights can practically last forever, which is not the original intent of copyright protection.
I don't feel that nervous about Silmdom, as I've said.
I'm not as nervous as I would be if I were a part of, say, the Harry Potter fandom. Still, if one or a few corporations set an example, how soon will other fandoms fall? (Damn, I could definitely have survived the First Age, with my brutal outlook!)
