[rights-examples] Examples

Title: Examples

Hello Everyone:

I received this from Aaron earlier this month. My sincere apologies for the delay in forwarding this to the Examples SC...I had thought that I had sent this out before but it was still in my Draft folder...These examples are from the Samuelson Law Clinic/EPIC's submission which is located in the Document Repository: (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/rights/documents/subcommittee/requirements/collected/sltppc/)

It may be beneficial to invite Aaron, Deirdre and Dean to one of our future meetings to discuss the examples some more as there may be several different approaches to the use cases.

Regards,

Hari

Hi Hari,

I'm sending you three examples, which are use cases taken directly from 

the Clinic's/EPIC's requirements document. Our understanding is that 

the Examples SC will devise XrML licenses that implement these 

examples. These examples are all equally important to us, so the SC 

should therefore feel free to tackle them in any order they see fit. 

Furthermore, these examples are not exhaustive (that's the spirit of an 

Examples SC, I guess).

Finally, please note that our providing these examples does not indicate 

a change in our position regarding the work of the requirements SC.

We are also looking at the examples you mentioned in your message but 

need more time to analyze them. We'll also keep an eye on the 

repository for new ln*** examples.

The use cases are below. I hope you don't mind my sending them to you -- 

I am not subscribed to rights-examples.

Thanks,

Aaron

=========================================================

1. Alice, a music critic, publishes reviews on her own Web site. There 

is no fee required for access to the site, and Alice attracts enough 

readers to have attracted the attention of record company executives. 

Alice's reviews always contain excerpts from the work under review. 

This week she is reviewing the latest release from a band whose last 

four albums she has panned. After listening to this new album, Alice 

knows that her review will be critical. She knows that seeking 

permission to sample portions of the album will be fruitless, so she 

simply extracts what she needs and links the streaming audio files to 

her review.

2. Professor Carole has decided to put several textual and multimedia 

works from her personal collection on digital reserve for her history 

course this term. Each of her students must have access to these 

artifacts for the term of the course, in several popular formats. They 

will have the ability to include excerpts of these works in their term 

projects.

3. A non-profit school for the blind owns a Braille printer. The school 

uses this printer to reproduce excerpts of an electronic version of the 

biography of an important political figure for some of its students.
