Fred Kobrak 《Publishing Research Quarterly》1992,8(2):30-33
Unauthorized use of copyrighted materials is widespread and has been facilitated by technological advances. Copyright piracy
has been reduced by the actions of the United States Trade Representative, the Association of American Publishers, and the
International Intellectual Property Alliance. A number of successful antipiracy activities are reviewed, along with areas
where problems continue.
Fred Kobrak is a partner in Higham Kobrak Associates, consultants on the international publishing industry. He was formerly
president of Collier Macmillan International, New York, the international arm of Macmillan Publishing Company.

The rise of the “star” author and the cult of celebrity overwhelms publishing in the same way that it has movies and professional
sports. Television creates the star system, agents nurture it. Publishers must find ways of surviving it. The Internet provides
a means for star authors to reach their public without the intermediation of their publisher, but it is not yet a medium in
which stars are born.

Under the former Communist regimes, trade associations were often effectively instruments of government. They now have to
acquire a new role in the emergent democracies. But trade associations have few resources, are difficult to manage, and are
subject to legal restraints. Yet these groups have an enormous job: to act on behalf of their members, to represent them to
the government and other groups, and to achieve what they as an industry want and need. This requires that members reach a
common position and provide support and assistance. It also requires that the association delegate some activities to commercial
operators. A variety of book trade associations is described.
Clive Bradley has been chief executive of the British Publishers Association since 1976 and director of the Confederation
of Information Communication Industries since 1984. A barrister who studied law at Cambridge and Yale Universities, he has
made special studies of the laws of copyright and industrial relations and of European law.

This paper was prepared for the International Publishers Association and adopted by its international committee in April 1996.
The paper stresses that the new electronic environment will require mature international standards of copyright protection.
Publishers have concerns over how copyrighted works should be protected and welcome the opportunity to work with libraries
and library associations to consider the uses of digitized formats that will preserve the rights of copyright holders while
ensuring that publishers reach their intended audience.

Publishers may reasonably expect international copyright treaties to (1) assurerecognition of publishers' contributions to literary works, (2) provide legal and politicalsecurity in the preservation of exclusive rights, (3) maintainpredictability in the contours of international commercial life, (4) establish standards ofenforcement, (5) beadaptable to rapidly changing technologies, and (6) conveydirection so that the copyright monopoly serves rather than subverts the values of free expression.

Publishers need to adopt a more structured approach to changing their processes, based on the proper understanding of existing
processes. Without an understanding gained through careful workflow analysis, there is a serious risk that an apparently minor
“improvement” in one department will have an entirely unanticipated and perhaps disastrous impact somewhere else. A structured
approach can minimize such risks.

Much value is added by people who are not directly employed by publishers. Publishers are classic “virtual organizations.”
Their functions and the distributed nature of their performance are poorly supported by publishers’ information technology
infrastructure.

Libel suits filed against media organizations have become an increasingly serious problem in recent years. The potential for
inhibiting news coverage or even putting a news organization out of business has never been greater. This article explores
the evolution of libel laws, emphasizing the consequences of their development for the First Amendment. It defines libel,
examines the First Amendment theories that shaped contemporary libel standards, and explains why state-by-state development
of libel laws prompted the Supreme Court to begin a twenty-year effort to develop national standards.

This article considers the British experience of developing education for publishers at the end of the 1990s. To introduce
the subject, it briefly outlines recent trends in the UK in publishing and bookselling: the size and nature of the workforce
as revealed in recent surveys; and what employers recently indicated that they are looking for in their employees. Then, it
summarises some of the developments that are taking place in education and training, before outlining the courses currently
available in the Universities, their growing emphasis on business management and Information Technology, and the benefits
to employers of recruiting students from these courses. Finally, it raises issues that will become more significant in the
future: new legal and ethical challenges, and the responsibility for preservation and conservation arising from technological
changes; keeping existing staff up to date; the international dimensions of the industry; retaining links between the academic
community and the industry; regulating standards of professional practice; and the development of research.
An earlier and shorter version of this paper, entitled “Education for publishing— the British experience,” was presented by
Ian Johnson at a colloquium “Books, Publishers and Libraries,” organised by Zagreb Chamber of Commerce’s Association of Publishers
and Booksellers and the University of Zagreb’ s Department of Information Science in December 1996.

The government of Armenia and the Next Page Foundation supported the Sixth International Forum of Translators and Publishers held in Yerevan from 5th to 8th November 2012. Antje Sorensen and Richard Balkwill from the International Publishers Association led a two-day workshop entitled ‘The Role of Copyright System in the Promotion of Publishing as a Cultural Industry’. Presentations on international perspectives on copyright and the mechanics of trading in translation and other rights were blended with discussion and debate. The international issues of digital open access and free information were of less concern to local publishers than the effective application of and compliance to recent copyright laws in the country. Piracy was still sapping publishers’ business and continuing to deter potential foreign collaboration and co-publishing deals. The forum was enriched with an extensive program of cultural events and social gatherings. 相似文献

This paper started life in September 2014 as a submission by the International Publishers Association (IPA) to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. It is the IPA’s view that human rights and intellectual property rights are not only compatible, but also mutually supportive and interdependent. Copyright in particular, is a success story. It has proven to be a powerful tool to strengthen science and culture, improve participation in them, and provide a legal framework that confers such rights and enables policies to promote them. This is particularly true in the online environment, where copyright laws enable science and culture to prosper, and are giving scientists, creators and publishers new economic ways of exercising their profession, creating the diversity of content and services that a rapidly growing majority of the world’s population is able to participate in. Copyright creates a marketplace that empowers citizens, and reduces the need for government interference with culture and science, a welcome state of affairs, in particular from the human rights perspective. 相似文献

The Single European Market heralds the biggest and most exciting change in English-language publishing since the Anglo-American
copyright agreement was signed a century ago. Now the change is being driven by economic factors; by social, educational,
and cultural elements; and by dreams of an age in which publishing prospers in a totally literate world.
Philip Attenborough has been Chairman of Hodder & Stoughton, London, since 1975 and has been with the firm for 32 years, serving
as export manager, director, and sales director. He has been a member of the Publishers Association Council since 1976 (and
was its President from 1983 to 1985). He is a Director of Book Tokens Ltd, Chairman of the British Council Publishers Advisory
Committee, and a member of the Executive Committee of the International Publishers Association. He is a former member of the
British Library Advisory Council. 相似文献

Conclusion Freelancers provide unique resources for publishers. Because of their special expertise, unique viewpoints, and even geographical
location, they provide publishers with customized materials in disciplines and locations where the expense of full-time writers
would not be justifiable. They will continue to be an important factor in the publishing industry.
Publishers will continue to write contracts that allow them to republish articles in all known and future formats. Problems
still exist with articles published before 1995. Publishers will have to decide how they will respond to Tasini, whether that means some version of the PRC or deleting articles. It is hoped that a final agreement between authors and
publishers, according to the decision of the Supreme Court, will result in minimum inconvenience to the research public.
New technology presents many challenges, as well as many opportunities, for freelance writers. As technology evolves, copyright
law must ensure that writers’ incentives to create are nurtured and that they are fairly compensated for their work. Authors
whose work creates value should share in the revenue and opportunities created by those technologies. 相似文献

The Internet has been described by many critics as providing a friendly home for racist web-sites, whose number has been steadily growing. Many of these sites display vicious anti-Semitic, anti-black, and anti-gay propaganda. However much they disgust most people, in the US they are protected by the First Amendment. Canada, by contrast, has hate discrimination provisions in its Criminal Code. Canadians seem to be much more willing than Americans to abridge freedom of expression when the speech is hateful. Various European countries take a stronger stand than Canada in their determination to combat racism. In this talk, I will explore the Canadian position in the context of the case of Oliver, BC. It was the location of an Internet Service Provider (ISP), Fairview Technology Centre, accused of hosting a number of hate sites. Attempts to deal with this accusation constitute the central part of the paper. 相似文献

COPING WITH FREEDOM AND UNCERTAINTY: PUBLIC OPINION IN HUNGARY, POLAND, AND CZECHOSLOVAKIA 1989-1992
For the first time in more than four decades, Central and EastEuropeans can openly voice their opinion about everything fromthe price of bread to the performance of the government. Publicopinion has become a dynamic factor in the decision-making processof the new governments of Hungary, Poland, and Czechoslovakiaand will play an important role in determining what kind ofpost-communist societies develop in these countries. In an effortto explore public sentiment about what kind of society theywant to develop, we analyze results from 14 nationwide, representativepublic opinion polls commissioned by the United States InformationAgency's Office of Research between June 1989 and January 1992in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. After tracing trendsin public opinion over this period, we look at some aspectsof the political culture in these countries. We then reporton our preliminary attempts to understand the determinants ofindividual preferences for either a society that emphasizesindividual freedom and responsibility (‘individual opportunities’society) or one in which the state assumes responsibility forassuring public welfare (‘state guarantees’ society). 相似文献
