The Routledge Companion to Copyright and Creativity in the 21st Century
These collected chapters and interviews explore the current issues and debates about how copyright will or should adapt to meet the practices of 21st-century creators and internet users. The book begins with an overview of copyright law basics. It is organized by parts that correspond to creative genres: Literary Works, Visual Arts, Fine Art, Music, Video Games and Virtual Worlds, Fashion, and Technology. The chapters and interviews address issues such as copyright ownership in work created by Artificial Intelligence (AI), the musical remix market, whether appropriation is ever a fair use of a copyrighted work or if it is always theft, and whether internet- based platforms should do more to deter piracy of creators’ works. Each part ends with an essay explaining the significance of one or two landmark or trendsetting cases to help the reader understand the practical implications of the law. Written to be accessible to both lay and legal audiences, this unique collection addresses contemporary legal issues that all creators need to understand and will be essential reading for artists, designers, and musicians as well as the lawyers who represent them.

Light Falls Like Bits
As modes of display and mechanisms of dissemination continue to undergo rigorous renewals, novel systems supporting the consumption of aesthetic production will be forged. What we see, how we see, what we share, how we share, what we learn, how we learn - these are the critical questions whose answers will come to shape future lives. Imminent updates on web-based interactivity, interface and intercommunication will redefine the social role, and naturally the historical ramifications, of art. Trey Ratcliff, leading practitioner of HDR photography, dwells in this realm where art, technology and social media overlap and where they even, as exhibited on his blog stuckincustoms.com and overall online presence, enhance each other. Light Falls Like Bits will critically consider the work and the enterprise of Trey Ratcliff in art historical and theoretical contexts, in an attempt to contribute to the discourse on the evolution of photography in the 21st century.

Bending the Frame
The older paradigm for photojournalists was to simply record events, with the hopeand frequently the expectationthat people and their governments would be moved to respond to the injustices pictured; as witnessed by the impact of certain images during the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War. Given evolving media and political climates, however, including the billions of images now available online from all kinds of sources, the purpose and effectiveness of media, in particular of visual journalism, has been called into question. Bending the Frame: Photojournalism, Documentary, and Citzenship, by author and critic Fred Ritchin, addresses the new and emerging potentials for visual media ...
A Better Life for Their Children
