Hello Daniel,
I am not completely sure if I can follow your reasoning. Even if you just take certain
parts of a performance or work, the complete performance or work stays under copyright.
Even if you record only a song of a full concert the copyright still belongs to the
artist. Of course, there is a lower boundary here, as already mentioned for fair use or
scientific usage etc..
But before spending more time discussing about the licence particularities, why you are
actually interested in this topic?
Do you want to use the KamailioWorld recording commercially, want to distribute them in a
compilation which you want to sub-licence or similar?
Cheers,
Henning

Subject: Re: [sr-dev] licensing of videos and images from Kamailio World?
Hi Henning,
Yes, you are correct about the other rights, it is not just for Germany but I was starting
off with the simplest step, the videos because if Pascom did not want to grant a license
then it would be a waste of time asking the speakers:
you are only partially correct. Under German copyright
law there are different copyrights:
- a copyright on the video on itself (which probably belongs to
Pascom, as you've stated)
- a copyright on the presentation (which belongs to the person
presenting)
There is one small distinction here: for a video the speaker has copyright rights over
their words, music, whatever
For somebody who takes a single frame out of the video and uses it as a photograph they
are not capturing the speaker's voice. As long as the speaker had consented to being
recorded, Pascom can grant people rights to use still images.
- a copyright to the slides/other material shown
(which belongs to the
creator of the slides/other material)
Only for those parts of the video where those materials are visible
Going one step further, if the speaker uses photos or videos in their slides then it is
important to verify that those photos and videos are also under a compatible license or
fair use scenario.
I do not think that Pascom can simply give these
rights away.
The first step is for Pascom to confirm, after having that confirmation it is then
possible to ask each speaker about their slides, etc.
A similar right situation would be e.g., if I visit a
concert of a well-known and famous band and record it on my smartphone. I can not simple
release this to the world, as I do not own the rights on the actual music performance. Or
when I make a picture from the Mona Lisa, I am not allowed to sell my own copies from it
etc..
Agreed and this is the same in many countries, not just Germany
Regards,
Daniel
