ILCA's 2003 conference was not taped. However, printed and DVD (CD?) copies
of the syllabus are still available through ILCA. Some presenters did not
follow their handouts, and a few didn't provide handouts, but I found the
vast majority of the printed (or electronic) syllabus material to be
interesting, informative, and enlightening.

 

Regarding sharing tapes (CD's, books, pictures, etc) and Tenet 25: you can
buy legally-produced tapes, or borrow someone else's legally-acquired tape,
and/or you can loan one of the legal tapes you purchased to someone else.
Someone who borrows a legally-produced tape, as from a lending library, can
watch or listen to it at will. But you cannot COPY a purchased tape for
someone else. Actually you can't even legally make a copy for yourself from
a borrowed tape, although many people do so - this practice is rarely
enforced by the copyright owner(s). The bigger issue is when someone buys or
borrows a legally copyrighted work, then makes a copy for someone ELSE.
Whether you give away the copy for free, or sell it, it's still illegal to
make and distribute copies of copyrighted works without the express
permission of the copyright holder. 

 

I'm not a lawyer, but I am an author, speaker, and photographer. I've become
very aware of copyright issues because some people have illegally copied MY
original works and tried to claim them as their own (that's plagiarism). I
hire good lawyers when necessary to protect and enforce my copyrights. This
is my right, and my livelihood.

 

An example of Tenet 25 in practice: I don't include many pictures in my
lecture handouts, because I don't always have permission to distribute (on
paper) some images that I legally acquired and can legally show to an
audience via a projector. The audience can see them on a screen, but won't
get a copy in the handout package.
