“How did I get here?”
That’s what I was asking myself the whole time I was at the NSF PI conference this week. What an amazing experience.
I’m still trying to sort out what I can blog about the workshop, and what I can’t—many people were sharing very preliminary results, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to disseminate them at this point. But I will try to sit down this week and distill some of what I took away from the whole thing.
Meanwhile, blogging will continue to be light because I leave town again on Saturday—this time for the Internet Librarian conference in Monterey. Happily, the hotel rooms there have high-speed access (and I’m hoping for conference wifi, as well).
(Speaking of wifi, there’s now free access in the Rochester airport! Frontier Communications is running a business center, and the signal is strong enough to reach most of the gates in the A terminal.)
I have a relatively simple question.
Can I use a famous quotation from a living person on a commercially marketed t-shirt without first getting that person’s consent?
I’m not sure whether that consitutes copyright violation or whether it falls within fair use.
(And yes, I realize that advice I get for free via my blog is worth less than the paper it’s not printed on. Just trying to get a general sense as to where I should look for guidance on this.)
