shadeofgreyhello09:44
shadeofgreyis anyone availabkle for chat at this time?09:44
bkhlAre you in a hurry?09:46
shadeofgreyno09:49
shadeofgreywhy09:49
bkhlThen just ask your question and wait, and someone will answer when they can.09:50
shadeofgreywell09:52
shadeofgreyi need help to understand the nature of whats allowed as far asa referencing other peoples books as background info.09:52
shadeofgreyim writing a piece of fiction, but drawing heavily from other established works of nonfiction that expl;ore the CIA's involvement in the international drug trade, and i dont want to end up the next dan brown09:53
bkhlIn general, if you're not copying anything, copyright doesn't apply.09:55
shadeofgreywell09:55
shadeofgreydan brown didnt copy anything either09:56
shadeofgreyhe drew directly from a concept already in print09:56
shadeofgrey...but i guess the major difference is that he didnt acknowledge the authors of the books he learned from before writing his da vinci codr09:57
shadeofgreyi hope he loses his fortune over it. i hated that book. it was a gross perversion of historical possibilities09:57
bkhlHe hasn't been convicted of anything, though, has he?10:01
bkhlI doubt(ed) that he will/would, in any case, though IANAL.10:02
shadeofgreyno he hasnty been convicted but from what ive read of transcipts of the trial hes about to be crucifed... pun intended10:04
shadeofgreysee10:04
bkhlMore and more stuff is considered derivative works, but in this case all he's done is re-use information. He hasn't actually copied anything, nor plagiarised a particular piece of text.10:04
shadeofgreybut hes still guilty of plagarism10:04
bkhlYeah, but not all plagiarism is a crime.10:04
shadeofgreyplagarism is more than just copying the content of a book10:04
bkhlPublishing a novel isn't an exam...10:05
bkhlPlagiarism in itself isn't a breach of copyright, is my point.10:05
shadeofgreyat this point it looks as if he may have to fork over half of what he made to the guys who first published the idea in their original book10:05
shadeofgreyits a deal worth about 125 million dollars10:06
bkhlIf so, that's a big expansion of the coverage of copyright.10:07
shadeofgreythe worst part about the whole thingh is his wifes testamony. she basically admitted that he didnt really doanyt reasearch for the book either. his wife did and put the whole thing together. all he did was convert her very precise and extensive outlines into readablke prose10:07
bkhlIt all smells to me.10:07
shadeofgreyso in the end the bottom line is that dan brown is a total fraud as an artist10:07
bkhlI mean, the book sucks, and isn't very original.10:07
bkhlBut he wrote it all himself.10:07
bkhlSo what?10:07
shadeofgreyso what?10:08
bkhlShould crappy art be a crime? That's censorship.10:08
* shadeofgrey shrugs10:08
bkhlAnyway, there are a lot of people making excellent art re-using the works of others, so it goes both ways.10:08
shadeofgreyim not saying crappy art should ber a crime. im saaying that as an artist hes a fraud. if your wife does all your work for you, and you dont acknowledge her contribution asnd take credit for the end results... thats lame10:09
bkhlThat is, copyright damages as much good art as it prevents bad.10:09
bkhlYeah, but it's not his wife that's suing him, is it?10:09
shadeofgreyi agree with you there/10:09
shadeofgreyno10:09
shadeofgreythe copyright trial is irrelevant inthe context of our discussion of his standing as an artist10:10
*** sylvinus has joined #cc10:10
bkhlAnyway, the success of the likes of Dan Brown is a failure of education, not of our legal system...10:10
shadeofgreywhat do you mean?10:10
shadeofgreyim Chris by the way.10:10
bkhlBjörn.10:10
shadeofgrey??10:10
bkhlThat's my name.10:11
shadeofgreywhat nationality is that name?10:11
bkhlSwedish.10:11
shadeofgreyoh wow! cool10:11
shadeofgreyso do you live in Sweden?10:11
bkhlYes.10:11
shadeofgreyits very nice to meet you. can i call you bk for simplicvities sake?10:12
bkhlbkhl is better, since that gets highlighted in my client.10:12
shadeofgreyokay10:13
* shadeofgrey shakes your hand.10:13
shadeofgreyare you a male or female?10:13
bkhlMale.10:13
shadeofgreyim a guy... and for the record, i asked because every time i assume i get it wrong10:14

mfvbkhl: do you know about the mash-up license project?21:53
bkhlNo.21:53
mlinksvamfv, you might be thinking of the "sampling" licenses.  as they developed they went through several name changes, may have been "mashup license" at some point21:56
mlinksvabut i'd recommend using a standard cc license instead21:57
mfvyeah i wasn't sure of the precise term22:10
mfvhave these licenses been released?22:10
mlinksvamfv, yes22:22
