Abstract

Macroeconomic tendencies are causing deep changes in cinematographic industry, with the aggravating factor that the internationalization of the communicative phenomenon has been joined both to the metropolis and to the periphery. Approximations have been made often on this dichotomy that now includes the problem on the unique stage from the technological and digital revolution. One of the challenges that must be confronted is the audiovisual payment consumption. The digital distribution is affecting deeply the business models and the way to recover investments and profits that are obtained by the movies. The second challenge will be the investment, this is very important in cinema´s case. The cinematographic industry has less money than needs and mostly depends on public supports. The investment is centered in national movies, whereas the market is international. The banks show reticence to betting for the cinema and to investing in, like happens with diffusion networks and telecommunications operators, who are not prepared yet. A last challenge is distribution and international exchanges with third countries. European Union, the major world´s commercial associate, foments the cooperation with third countries. How is it possible to associate the cinema with European Union´s cooperation policies?

This journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration. The publisher perpetually authorizes participants in the LOCKSS system to archive and restore our publication through the LOCKSS System for the benefit of all LOCKSS System participants. Specifically participating libraries may: • Collect and preserve currently accessible materials; • Use material consistent with original license terms; • Provide copies to other LOCKSS appliances for purposes of audit and repair. Fair use of a copyrighted work, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; & 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. In accord with these provisions, the OBS journal believes in the vigorous assertion and defense of Fair Use by scholars engaged in academic research, teaching and non-commercial publishing. Thus, we view the inclusion of “quotations” from existing print, visual, audio and audio-visual texts to be appropriate examples of Fair Use, as are reproductions of visual images for the purpose of scholarly analysis. We encourage authors to obtain appropriate permissions to use materials originally produced by others, but do not require such permissions as long as the usage of such materials falls within the boundaries of Fair Use.
