6 Wednesday, September 5, 2001 UNC Adopts New Copyright Policy By Rob Leichner Staff Writer A committee of law experts, techno logical wizards and faculty members have drawn up anew copyright ownership pol icy for UNC-Chapel Hill in accordance with Board of Governors regulations. The new UNC-CH policy, which took almost two years to write, outlines exacdy what work and research can be claimed by students, faculty members and the University. UNC-CH Chancellor James Moeser sent an e-mail to all students over the weekend informing them of the new policy. “I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Professor (Lolly) Gasaway and our colleagues on the Copyright Committee for their diligent effort in producing this new Policy," Moeser (DTH)\ j O* > g | Carolina Pediatric Attention, Love and Support The APPLES Servjte Learning Program 1 / ml? . tfvJifrY w APPLES is a student-nin organization providing students m m W, with service-learning opportunities throughout m ik i ■ iai A 6.2-mile bicycle ride HH-, the Triangle Area and NC. % V- ■WnT?s!¥7!flT i TrFSI7TI7?JT?I UNC Tennis Center 'Afternative Spring ‘Break Service-Learning Courses mm _BI Registration opens 1 1pm Service-Lear nina grants Sc hoof Year Internships ■ KA p I Proceeds support activities for pediatric $lO L ~ - : : bP® I canier P a,lents al UNC Habitats For more information contact the APPLES office at 919 962 090? or ■; I Questions?

All UNC-system schools had until Aug. 1 to implement similar policies, created by individual campus commit tees, within the BOG’s guidelines. “The main part of the policy deals with ownership, not use,” said UNC CH law Professor Lolly Gasaway, who headed up the copyright committee. The new policy replaces a less com prehensive version. “We didn’t really have much of an old (policy),” Gasaway said. By following a governmental applica tion process, students can own copy rights on any of their independent works. The policy defines student works as “papers, computer programs, theses, dissertations, artistic and musical works, and other creative wprks made by University students.” But when students work with faculty, the agreement between UNC-CH and the faculty member prevails to determine ownership, according to Section V of the policy. Faculty research is generally the researcher’s property, except when the University provides “exceptional use of University resources" or payment for the research, according to Section V. In these cases, UNC-CH can claim ownership. Recendy, copyright laws have become a hot topic on campus thanks to Internet file sharing programs such as Napster or Morpheus. But the legality of electronic file sharing is not specifically covered in the policy, Gasaway said. The subject was purposely left open to interpretation so future guidelines could be set. Section IV of the policy states that “ ... it is a violation of this Policy and law for University faculty, staff or students to reproduce, distribute, display publicly, News perform, digitally transmit (in the case of sound recordings), or prepare derivative works based upon a copyrighted work without permission of the copyright owner.” But the policy also states that some material can be used without permission in accordance with the “fair use doctrine” of United States Copyright Law. Under this doctrine, limited amounts of certain resources can be used for education. Nermeen Arastu, a freshman from Greenville, said she thinks students might produce better schoolwork if they become aware of the copyright policy. She said, “If I knew something of mine could be copyrighted, it would motivate me.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. Reno Officially Announces Campaign For Fla. Governor The Associated Press MIAMI - Janet Reno launched her bid for governor of Florida on Tuesday, setting up a potential battle against the president’s brother that could be the most closely watched political contest of 2002. The people of Florida want a gover nor “who’s not afraid to make the hard decision, to stand up for those deci sions," said Reno, who filed paperwork to open a campaign account in a bid for the Democratic nomination. The campaign seems likely to resur rect some of the controversy that marked Reno’s tenure as President Clinton’s attorney general, from the cult disaster at Waco to the seizure of Elian Gonzalez from the home of his Miami relatives. Stjp iaily ®ar lird But the race will be in the national spotlight primarily because of last year’s overtime election that delivered Florida -and the presidency -to George W. Bush, the brother of Republican Gov. Jeb Bush. Some Democrats wonder if the 63- year-old Reno can win. Polls show her leading the crowded Democratic prima ry field but losing to Bush in a general election. “I’ve spent the last three months talk ing to people all across Florida, and I think they share my vision for Florida - building the best educational system in the country, preserving our environ ment, managing our growth and stand ing up for our elders,” said Reno, speak ing to reporters outside her Miami-Dade County home.
