The Organization for Transformative Works has celebrated major milestones in the past weeks.
OTW再创作组织在过去的几个星期庆祝了几个重大的里程碑。
For more on the OTW's views about the legal framework for fanworks and the drawbacks of licensing regimes, see the document we produced addressing why any change in copyright law should favor freedom to make transformative works.
We emphasized the benefits of a balanced copyright regime with a robust fair use doctrine that permits the creation of noncommercial transformative works without permission, and suggested the possibility of a "user generated content" exception to copyright protection to augment fair use. We drew on our experience obtaining the vidding exemption to the DMCA's "anti-circumvention" provisions to discuss Singapore's proposals regarding "technical protection measures" for copyrighted works.
The OTW believes that noncommercial works that make creative use of existing copyrighted material, such as fanvids, are transformative, and that transformative works are legitimate under U.S. copyright law.
Here's a recent timeline of the Legal Advocacy team's work in arguing for the protection of transformative works (like fanwork!) in copyright law
以下是近期法律支持团队在版权法中主张保护衍生作品(例如同人作品 ! ) 的大事年表:
The OTW is interested in all kinds of transformative works, but our priority will be to support and defend the types of works hosted in our archive, and the fans who create them.
Legal Advocacy will continue to fight to protect fandom and fanworks, filing briefs in courts and submitting policy recommendations to governments around the world in defense of fair use and transformative works, participating in discussions and conferences on copyright law, and answering questions from fans everywhere.
In February 2014, Legal submitted comments to the European Commission concerning possible EU copyright reform, trying to help ensure that the end result will be respectful of transformative works.
While some transformative works legitimately circulate in the for-profit marketplace - parodies such as The Wind Done Gone (the retelling of Gone with the Wind from the perspective of a slave), critical analyses that quote extensively from an original, "unauthorized guides," etc.-that really isn't what fanfic writers and fan creators in general are doing, or looking to do.
