LiveScripts es una asociacion sin afan de lucro que entre otras actividades edita una revista de guiones de peliculas en version original como guia de lectura previa a la proyeccion de la pelicula
correspondiente. Nos amparamos en la unica excepcion sobre la exclusividad de los derechos de autor, es decir, la investigacion y la educacion.
En este sentido, en carta certificada del Departamento de Justicia de la Generalitat de Catalunya del pasado mes de marzo, nos señalo solamente pequeñas cuestiones formales.
En definitiva, ya disponemos de un marco legal para nuestras actividades. En este sentido, sugerimos a nuestros colaboradores el siguiente marco de colaboracion mutua.
1. la emision de una peliculas en version original posterior a la edicio de la revista LiveScripts que recoja los dialogos y activitades relacionadas, una pelicula de accion, por ejemplo dirigida al gran publico.
2. soporte tecnico y financiero para editar un paquete de DVD y revista de guiones de aquellas peliculas que han pasado a dominio publico.
3. soporte tecnico y financiero para editar la revista de guiones del proximo estreno de DVD
4. soporte institucional, tecnico y financiero para negociar con The Writers Guild of America la formacion de una International LiveScripts Association.
5. Producir un documental titulado: Pasadas de Escalera - Ladder Workout, siguiendo el guion de la comunicacion que realitze en las VI Jornades d'Educacio i Esport el pasado
1 de marzo en la INEFC (1) y publicado en EDUCAWEB.COM:
http://www.educaweb.com/esp/servicios/monografico/deportes_2008/
-estamos confirmando la participacion de los jugadores del primer equipo del
FCB de handball con Xavier Ocallaghan,
-miembros del cuerpo de bomberos de la generalitat de Catalunya practicaban
Pasadas y podrian colaborar,
Fotografias de esta grabacion podrian servir tambien para el libro sobre el tema que esta considerando publicar editoriales especializadas.
6. Co-producir la pel.licula del guio:
Snakes and Ladders7. Soporte institucional, tecnico y financiero para la realizacion de los libros ilustrados:
-
Newaza, Tecnicas de Suelo de Judo, y
-
Kite Surfing - Roller Extreme, cuyos guiones se encuentra en la misma web.
9. Patrocinar a Kevin Fuentes, subcampeon de España de KiteSurfing y cuarto clasificado de su especialidad durante el campeonato Broken Bones celebrado recientemente en Terrassa.
Creemos sinceramente que todos estos proyectos pueden contribuir decisivamente a dar
una imagen creativa, innovadora y mas exitosa si cabe de su GRUPO a nivel internacional.
Cordialmente

Congreso

Very often countries which do not dub foreign language movies like Holand, Denmark or even Greece do have a higher level of foreign language command than other countries like Italy,
France, Spain, dubbing those same movies. Of course there should be many other reasons for that situation but we will all agree that having Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie as speach models could
be a tough foreign language resource to beat up. Considering that, I have been using movie scripts in my foreign language class for the last 10 years with great success. On these regards,
LiveScripts isnow a legally and recently constituted non-profit organization whosemain objective is to provide students with movie transcripts in a papermagazine as a reading guide
andforeign-language teaching or self-learning resource previous towatching the film in original version and without distractingsubtitles. We are protected by the only exception to the exclusivity of copyrights ownership, that is, research and education.
1. We can edit a pack of magazine and DVD of those movies which now belong to public domain.
2. We can edit a paper magazine with the movie script of the next premier on DVD.
3. We can agree on the edition of a magazine with the transcripts of the same movie broadcasted on TV.
Despite being protected by the laws indicated above, it is our firm commitment to collect an agreed percentage of the sales generated by the publication and offer that amount to the legal screen writer, or authors who own copyrights on the published transcripts.
It is also our firm believe that byproceeding this way, and far from causing any damage to the movieindustry,
1. we can increase distributors's sales considerably byproviding them with one of the
best advertisement resources, the publication of movie transcripts,
2. we also benefit the end user by supplying them with an interesting tool totake advantage of their DVD language option; and as we said before,
3. we can also benefit authors by paying them more royalties than theymight receive from a regular company.
Wedo believe that exceptions to the exclusivity of copyrights must exist in the legislation ofall countries and therefore we are trying to reach a forma agreements with
the Writers Guild of America for an
International LiveScripts Association, each country having some degree of autonomy but at the same time with
global compromises to increase our decision power beforethird parties.
Section 107 of the Law of theUnited States of America and Related Laws Contained inTitle 17 of the United States Code.
Section 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fairuse
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such useby reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other meansspecified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment,news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroomuse), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyrights
