Subject: Revised examples

Hi everyone --

I've attempted to reduce our previous set of examples to display the 

entities and communications of interest. (I included the original 

examples just for reference.) I hope this takes things in the right 

direction -- If these need further refinement please let me and Dean 

know. Thanks.

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.

Entities:

1. Alice

2. Any visitor to her web site

Communications:

A. Alice tells Alice she can excerpt relevant portions the musical 

recording. (Note that it is central to the example that Alice does not 

seek permission from the original issuer of the rule set that she 

possesses.)

B. Alice tells any visitor to her web site (see (2), supra) that he can 

listen to the excerpt.

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.

Entities:

1. Professor Carole

2. The students in her class

Communications:

A. Professor Carole tells Professor Carole that she can convert the 

relevant works from their initial format to her format of choice.

B. Professor Carole tells her students that they can use excerpts of the 

works that she makes available. (Professor Carole and her individual 

students would probably define specific excerpts, which Professor 

Carole would then explicitly authorize.)

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.

Entities:

1. School administrator

2. The electronic version of a book in viewable character (i.e., 

non-Braille) format

3. Braille printing device

Communications:

A. School administrator tells school administrator that he can print an 

excerpt of the book in (2).

B. School administrator can repeat (A)  N times, for each of the N 

students in the class.
