Legal and Ethical Challenges in Multimedia Research

Session 1 - Copyright challenges in Research This session aims to explain basic copyright concepts and set the table of copyright issues that challenge researchers, archivists & librarians: access and use of material from libraries, archives, and the web; different national copyright rules as sources of confusion (lack of harmonisation at the EU level); exceptions for educational use of materials & limitations and exceptions for libraries and archives (special focus to Italy); copyright of own publications. The aim is also to gather practical experiences of researchers and/or professionals and start a Q&A which can determine the focus of future sessions.

This reCreating Europe deliverable D4.10 outlines the most pressing copyright-related issues and concerns faced by documentary filmmakers and by curators and creators of immersive experiences in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. It is the main output of the first stage of Task 4.3 Developing best practice codes for creative audiovisual re-use, led by CREATe (University of Glasgow) and IViR (University of Amsterdam) as part of Work Package 4 Creative Industries. After a short introduction to the project and its methodology (Section 1), the document offers an overview of the issues identified and discussed by the communities being examined in relation to copyright and the lawful reuse of audiovisual materials. The findings of four online workshops – one for each community in the two jurisdictions under consideration – are systematised in four issue reports (Sections 2 and 3).

Providing citizens with easy access to the results of research via online dissemination can revitalize the relationship between science and society. If research in the humanities and social sciences, and in particular their audiovisual sources, are to be included in this movement, an effort has to be made to understand and adapt to the requirements of online dissemination. Until recently, furthermore, audiovisual archives were rarely consulted by the public. Embracing the digital turn, therefore, will also represent an important shift for archival managers and researchers. Two main questions can be posed regarding the accessibility of these audiovisual collections. First, how can online dissemination be reconciled with the ethical and legal respect due to persons and institutions involved in qualitative research projects? Issues of authorship, copyright, and confidentiality have to be taken into account. Second, how can the slow internal process of collecting, archiving, and dissemi...

MS5 aims to produce issue reports of how copyright exceptions and other permitted uses are understood and applied by documentary film makers and immersive digital heritage practitioners in the Netherlands and the UK. For this purpose, transcriptions or written accounts were made of the four online workshops that were undertaken for MS3. On the basis of these transcriptions and accounts, four issue reports were produced that describe the most pressing copyright issues that documentary film makers and immersive digital heritage practitioners face when making documentary films or creating immersive experiences, taken into account the existing copyright exceptions and other permitted uses in the Netherlands and the UK. These four issue reports have been directly and fully integrated in D4.10 – Issue reports on how copyright exceptions and other permitted uses that are relevant for documentary filmmakers and immersive digital heritage practitioners are understood in the Netherlands and t...
