Karen Coyle has an excellent blog post about some of the ridiculousness we’ve been getting used to lately in terms of copyright and copyright notices. This includes libraries that say you can’t make a digital copy of a public domain imags that they make available (debatable but still odd-sounding) a copyright notice on a blank book and what the heck is up with the innocuous sounding Computer & Communications Industry Association.

I rarely post links to job here because it seems to me that most postings for library jobs are more or less the same. This one is different. The Open Library project, which I linked to here before, is looking for some new folks. You’d be working with a fun team of geniuses, most notably Karen Coyle who is the chief librarian of the project. Telecommuting an option. Interested? Read the job description, then email Aaron and tell him you heard about it here.
Tasks include: working with our chief librarian, Karen Coyle, to implement algorithms to do data merging and other processing tasks; writing scrapers and crawlers to grab various data sources; writing importers to parse this data into something that can be imported into our database; and managing all the people who want to help us with these tasks.

There’s an interesting paper on SSRN by Jason Mazzone on just this topic: Copyfraud. He basically asks why there are such harsh violations for infringing owners’ rights but not similarly harsh ones for owners’ claiming rights they don’t have.
Well, CCIA is on “our side” on this one–as on many extreme-copyright issues. They’re the big consumer electronics and PC companies; excessively tight content restrictions make it tougher to sell hardware. If you note Coyle’s commentary, CCIA is taking legal action against fraudulent copyright notices–and that’s consistent with CCIA’s stance in the past. (I left a comment on Coyle’s post; I’m a little surprised she’s not more familiar with CCIA, which has indeed been around for a very long time.)
