Sindicato quer direitos de autor dependentes do contrato colectivo: Mais do que a protecção material desses direitos, o sindicato, através do seu presidente, Alfredo Maia, sublinhou a importância de "salvaguardar plenamente a [sua] dimensão moral", nomeadamente no que diz respeito à integridade da obra e ao seu destino. É que, sustentou, só o autor deve "proceder a eventuais alterações" do produto que criou. O contrato de trabalho deverá fixar claramente o suporte a que se destina a obra e só com autorização do autor pode esta ser utilizado ao reutilizado noutros órgãos, recomendou ainda. A ideia é "combater a apropriação indevida e arbitrária, por parte das empresas, das criações jornalísticas, transformando-as em mera mercadoria destinada a credibilizar 'novos produtos'". [...]
Já o presidente da SPA defendeu que o diploma em questão não seria necessário, uma vez que grande parte das suas normas estão já consagradas no código dos direitos de autor. Luís Francisco Rebelo considerou mesmo "errado, contraproducente e perigoso" estar a duplicar legislação. "O projecto repete o que já diz o código, mas dizendo-o de maneira diferente, o que pode gerar confusão". Em seu entender bastaria introduzir no código dos direitos de autor as alterações que se prendem com a especificidade do sector.
Concordo com a posição da SPA, neste caso. Não há vantagens em especificar o que está determinado em geral - só falta aplicar na prática...

High-tech a benefit to newspapers: Bill Gates dreams of a paperless future, a digital world where books and documents are read on computer screens, but for now he still enjoys leafing through the ink and pulp version of the Sunday newspaper.
The Microsoft chairman, speaking to the Newspaper Association of America's convention in Seattle yesterday, described his reading habits and how technology might make it easier to gather and present the news.
Gates said newspapers can take advantage of lessons learned during the dot-com era about how technology will change reading habits and information distribution in the coming decade.

People Magazine Sued Over Scott Peterson Photos: A California woman is suing People magazine for publishing a photo of Scott Peterson - accused of killing his wife and unborn son and dumping their bodies in the San Francisco Bay - and his girlfriend, without removing her image from the background.

Why Blogs Haven't Stormed the Business World: But at the rate they're going, blog tools are merely building simple heaps of information, giant mounds of unorganized content. Developers of these tools must implement technologies for moving and transforming entire weblogs before things get seriously out of hand.

Diferentes pontos de vista?
[act.:] Afinal há uma explicação para as "diferentes" perspectivas: Cover stories: A grand slam for media monotony: The editors at Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report and The Economist, anxious as anyone to see something besides the Iraqi war on their covers this week, all jumped on SARS. No problem there -- newsmagazines leading with the same story happens every now and then.
But imagine the surprise when, like a quadruple slot machine coming up with all cherries, each publication had the same image to illustrate the epidemic: a single person wearing a surgical mask.
Editors at the newsweeklies said they weren't that surprised over their version of a cover grand slam, something that hadn't happened since pictures of the World Trade Center dominated most publications right after 9/11. They noted there aren't many good ways to illustrate a disease -- a virus itself isn't that dramatic, after all -- and surgical masks have become an icon for severe acute respiratory syndrome.
