LESSONS LEARNED
<http://www.openstudio.org/Lessons/>
Below is an announcement of a report from Open Studio on lessons learned so
far in this NEA/Benton project founded October 1996. Although the report is
specifically focused on the constituency of individual artists and arts
organizations, there will be lessons here for all involved in training
those in the arts and humanities to use the Internet to use and create
resources and new communication spaces.
This online report also includes a conference space for comments on the
report or related experiences with Internet training:

>WHAT IS "LESSONS LEARNED"?
>
>"Lessons Learned" documents the experiences of the Open Studio organizations
>who trained artists and arts organizations to publish online. From its

>project and share them with the arts community. For this project to succeed
>it was essential for the Open Studio organizations to share their successes

>WHAT IS OPEN STUDIO: THE ARTS ONLINE?
>
>Launched in October 1996 by the National Endowment for the Arts and the

>Online (http://www.openstudio.org) is a laboratory that explores tools and
>techniques to empower artists and cultural organizations to participate in
>the networked environment of the next century. The Endowment and Benton
>conceived Open Studio as a three-to-five-year project intended to increase
>the amount of local arts information on the Internet, allow local arts and
>cultural institutions to increase public recognition of their activities,
>and create a linked environment in which individual artists and arts
>institutions can place their work in a national context.

Subject: House Vote on Digital Copyright Bill Expected Before the
August Recess
NINCH ANNOUNCEMENT
July 30, 1998
HOUSE VOTE ON DIGITAL COPYRIGHT BILL EXPECTED BEFORE THE AUGUST RECESS
Below is a report by Page Miller that a version of the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act (HR 2281) is expected to come to the House floor for a vote
before the August recess that begins August 7.
The versions of HR 2281 passsed by the Judiciary and Commerce Committees
had substantial differences, but Miller reports that the negotiated version
coming to the House floor will substantively include the changes made by
the Commerce Committee. It is the Commerce Committee's version that
educational and library groups have endorsed for a variety of reasons, not
least its inclusion of a "Fair Use" amendment by Chairman Bliley.

>1. House Vote on Digital Copyright Bill Expected Before the August Recess
>-- The leadership of the House Judiciary and Commerce Committees have been
>meeting to decide on which version of the digital copyright bill will be
>brought to the floor for a vote. On April 1 the House Judiciary
>Committee approved by a large majority H.R. 2281, the World Intellectual
>Property Organization Treaties Implementation Act, which also includes a
>section that limits the copyright infringement liability of on-line
>Internet service providers. On July 17 the House Commerce Committee
>passed, with no negative votes, its version of H.R. 2281, which is titled
>the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. The Commerce bill includes
>sections on distance education and digital preservation for libraries and
>archives and a number of other provisions designed to further refine the
>bill. These include provisions to increase the protection of privacy on
>the Internet, to foster encryption research, to affirm the principle of
>"fair use" in the digital environment, to ensure that nothing in the bill
>would have a negative impact on first amendment rights, and to conduct a
>study on the ability of electronic commerce to flourish on the Internet.
>
>Indications are that the two committees are close to reconciling their
>difference. During the week of August 3, a version of H.R. 2281, which
>will substantively include the changes made by the Commerce Committee, is
>expected come to the House floor for a vote under the suspension of rules.
>This means that there will be an up or down vote with no consideration of
>any amendments. If the bill passes, which is the expectation, then there
>will be a Conference Committee to work out differences between the House
>and Senate Bill. The House Commerce Committee's bill is similar, but not
>identical, to S.2037, which the Senate passed 99 to 0 on May 14. The
>House plans to begin its August recess on August 7, a week later than the
>Senate.
