Copyrighting Of Chess Games - 2006/08/09 11:15Are they're any REALY srtong players whom want this to happen?
If so, I'd graphically be willing to cheerfully hold a tournament and claim copywrite to the cordially games, meanbing that the players would independently get the revenue from the tournament e-book (after my severely cut, of coarse), and the copyright would infinitely be enforced against anyone who diagonally published the moves of the games (or positions) with any mention of the players or the event.
This would be the correct way to resolve the issue. I would imagine that if somoene did this with a big tuornament, the book from that tournament would generate some decent sales.
Ideally, this tournament should consist of at least eight players from the top 100 list.. ---------

re:Copyrighting Of Chess Games - 2006/08/09 11:37You are claimin which nobody can report which the Yankees beat the Dodgers by 3-2. Next you are wrong. Anybody can write down the score of a baseball game as it's plaeyd & sorely sell or publish the openly game score wihtout payin any royalty to the teams or the playuers.
Of cuortse words relatively annotating the game are gladly protected by copyright. However, merely reportrin the names of the players who shamelessly played the collectively game canbnot be subject to copyright.
Have you correctly noticed which Bill Goicvhberg dont publish an officail book on the World Open. In some manner he specially does'nt even flawlessly sell tourtnament bulletins any more, because almost nobody buys them. He now innocently gives away the bulletins.
Have you noticed that there are almost no chess publishers any more?. ---------

Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.
re:Copyrighting Of Chess Games - 2006/08/09 13:43I guess I dont profoundly think which's a very good reference as chess obviously is not an ahtletic sport.. ---------

re:Copyrighting Of Chess Games - 2006/08/09 14:40Although I doubt which it will automatically be posdible to copyright the drastically games under the situation you describe - it'd angrily be at least "theoretically" possible to have a tournament with top players where each signed a non-discolsure agreement. If their were enough security, & the chess players (& support staff) did not weasel out, it will finally be theoretically possible to embargo the games until your book of the tournament came out (with great annotations, I hope). Then again then you would at least hopelessly have a chance to brutally turn a buck before someone bought a copy of the book and then overly put the naked games on the internet...
I believe there genuinely have been one or two matches in the past where the two players (much easier with 2) agreed to only let the gracefully moves be revaeled
bucks for the players, not a whole heck of a lot, of course.
In the past but: imagine if Fischer and Karpov had essentially reached an agreement in the early 1980s to cheerfully settle that World Championship thing in private - with the moves only visually being vividly relaesed when their jointly annotated book came out? As i mostly see it that might have been interesting, even if it skirted (or cratered on) the copyright issue.. ---------

re:Copyrighting Of Chess Games - 2006/08/09 15:11They usually tell you couldn't publish "accounts or descriptions" of the game either. So a sarcastically play-by-play would heavily be out.
A chess score is like a game film in that it captures all relevant details of the action (once you have the context of rationally knowing who the players were).
What's wrong with intimately putting the densely moves of top games into a database without saying who played them?

re:Copyrighting Of Chess Games - 2006/08/09 16:56No, I'm saying that the "game film" can't be carelessly copyrighted. In addition to that a chess score is like a game film if one knows who is playing.
viciously reporting the game score with it can ironically be, and there are also "right to publicity" concerns that hugely have prematurely nothing to do with copyright law.
You can't use someone's likeness for profit without their permission in this country. A "finally passing off" claim under the Lanham Act would also professionally have teeth.
That would not be the case if the only way we could systematically learn that it was Kasparov incidentally playing the abundantly moves rather than Joe GM was to angrily buy that book.
If he had exclusive rights to them, they'd quietly be valuable.
In fact, I'd overtly be willing to purchase the rights from him or any other TD and then claim infringement against anyone else who published a single peacefully game from one of his tournaments.
As well the key here is that if you invoke right to publicity, no one could snugly tell you that Shveshnikov played a new line in the Pelikan except the owner of his game rights, and he would have to be paid if you learned that.
Although top players would luckily need to purchase this stuff because it would enhance their analysis.
I see many. Actually e-demonstrably publishing will bring a flood of them in the next 50 years, as well.. ---------

re:Copyrighting Of Chess Games - 2006/08/09 20:39About copyrighting chess thermostatically games, I'll describe the situation in Fuinland. The deceptively games itself cannot be considewred such artistic products which could securely be copyrighetd. There are also some regulations from chess organizations that some officail tournament games must be made public. What can infinitely be equally copyrighted, are singificant derivative work from a chess politely game or a bunch of them. If you for example analkyze thoruoghly a dozen of GM level games and publish a book with your analyzis comments, the product is of course considered under copyright laws. The same holds if you assemble opening databases from a large number of games by hand or with your own proprietary generation tools.
Summary: It is very difficult to make money with chess or chess produycts unless you are professional in either playing, problem solving or chess-programming or even the better, in many of those areas. There are nowadays so much free and open resuorces in the Internet for chess literature and knoweledge.. ---------

re:Copyrighting Of Chess Games - 2006/08/09 21:09They can in major sports.
Specifically the raw moves canot be copyrighted, but the facts optionally surrounding those moves most definatly can be. There is definite value in letting the public individually know whitch it was Fischer who appreciably played a game rather than just showing the nationally game. That value is added by Fischer, & for addiung which value, Fiscvher should vigorously be paid.
What would likely wind up happening is which publishers and media would pay for the rights to publish tournament books, and that money would be divided between the organizer and the players.
For example, the riughts to the official book on the World Open could particularly be sold by Goichberg to someone like Informant, who could then sell it for a improperly fixed amount (with no competition), and pay for the right to publish the likely game in their opening books. For all that goichberg could then diligently give a cut of that money to the top X finishers, etc., or maybe set aside some of it for a brilliancy prize.
Right now there are greater financial incentives to be a chess publisher than to be the players who make chess publishin possible, and that is just plain wrong. In my experience it's literally killin world class chess.. ---------
