Copyright and publicly funded arts and humanities research: identifying exploitation models in the digital economy

艺术和人文研究人员都是文学、戏剧、音乐和艺术作品的多产生产者和使用者。这些作品受著作权保护，著作权法律授予作品所有者使用作品的专有权。因此，艺术和人文研究人员在研究中使用现有作品需要获得同意，如果她的作品要被其他人使用，也需要获得同意。这可能会造成一个复杂且往往不透明的环境，其中可能需要许多同意并需要给予同意。如果没有给予和获得正确的许可，就会对作品的传播和利用提出挑战。该项目将以数字成果为重点，跟踪艺术和人文研究人员创作和传播作品的情况，从资助研究到在数字经济中传播作品的过程。其目的是强调所涉及的一些复杂性，并在这样做的过程中解决这样一个问题：什么样的版权框架(S)将最好地支持将公共资助的艺术和人文研究内容转化为数字/创意经济？

Arts and humanities researchers are both prolific producers and users of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works. These works are protected by copyright, a law which grants exclusive rights to the owner over exploitation of the work. So an arts and humanities researcher needs both to obtain consent to use existing works in her research, and give consent if her work is to be used by others. This can create a complex, and often opaque environment where many consents may be needed and need to be given. Challenges can then arise to dissemination and exploitation of the work if the correct permissions have not been given and obtained. Focusing on digital outputs, this project will track the creation and dissemination of works produced by arts and humanities researchers from point of funding of the research to the point at which it is disseminated in the digital economy. The purpose is to highlight some of the complexities involved and in so doing address the question: what copyright framework(s) would best support the translation of publicly funded arts and humanities research content into the digital/creative economy?
