6.5 Authoright

Опубликовано mr-test - сб, 09/27/2008 - 00:35

I want to explain (actually, to repeat) some of the guidelines to this really simple model. We saw the Anarchy model provides a pretty good framework for culture and culture related market development. Still, there is some uncertainty in terms of the author's well being, because there is some room for dishonesty to exploit: an attribution is not required here (it is the exact situation of works in the public domain). Thus, it seems (just seems!) to make sense to provide backing by society for culture so that cultural phenomena would be treated according the "law of nature" of culture. I assume that:
The main law of nature causing cultural development is ultimate freedom.
Cultural equivalent of physical stealing is lying.
Cultural phenomena is produced in an individual mind or in free communication of individuals.
Culture, while being governed according to its nature, will pay back in infinitely greater degree to an author, publisher and the entire society.
Hence, the main features determining the Authoright approach are:
1.No entity of any kind may control or regulate in any way copying, sharing, distribution, all and any public use of an idea, work of art or any other cultural phenomena. First and foremost there must not be any restrictions in artistic acquirement of a work of art, shortly - in creating of derivatives or any other ''building upon.''
2.Every author has an eternal and unalienable right for attribution.
3.An author may sell his works, not rights.
4.A publisher or any other entity MAY pay an author for the right to be named his/her sponsor. The amount is the matter of negotiations.
5.No company, organization or a group entity of any kind and nature beyond the actual author(s) may be considered an author for any creative work.
6.The source (publication) of a work must be attributed to in every public use of the work.
7.Any sponsor of an author, or a single work, or a single publication deserves proper attribution.
The full text of the Authoright put in an Addendum.
What I am going to do now, is to copy Copyright model text and make changes to it when it is necessary to reflect Authoright specifics. The differences with the Anarchy model will also be noted. I shall number all the specific features of the model in parentheses.
