Curation as a Derivative Work
The only controversy with curation (at least from what I've seen in the WF) has been placed on duplicate content. But it looks like the controversy is a bit bigger than that. How have people been getting away with it for so long?
The copyright office includes in its definition of Derivative Work: "abridgments and condensations of preexisting works." http://copyright.gov/circs/circ14.pdf And that's exactly what RSS feeds/blog feeds generate.
So... yeah.
Any thoughts?
Attract. Sponsor. Build an Empire.
