Dangerous Situation of Beagle by G. Gore. Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons Anyone who happened to view our live stats this February may have noticed that our Insurance Program surpassed 15,000 bound policies. This is a huge leap from when the program began to offer property and casualty options in 2007. At the time, Fractured Atlas was in many ways steering into uncharted waters. While a handful of intrepid brokers and carriers were providing insurance programs, most options were tailored for established arts companies and organizations with substantial budgets. Even though artists needed insurance policies to fulfill contracts, pursue grants, and cover their own equipment and artwork, there wasn’t really an accessible insurance option for the broader artistic community.

Last week the World Intellectual Property Organization celebrated World Intellectual Property Day, an annual event that centers on the role IP can play in cultivating innovation and creativity. With this theme in mind, Courtney Duffy delves into what it means to protect copyright owners without discouraging new works, a balance which has been a struggle for YouTube.

(This is the third post in a series on Fractured Atlas’s capacity-building pilot initiative, Fractured Atlas as a Learning Organization. To read more about it, please check out Fractured Atlas as a Learning Organization: An Introduction.) I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been a reluctant decision maker. When I go out to eat at a restaurant, I often drive my dinner mates crazy by asking the wait staff for recommendations and then just ordering what I was thinking about getting anyway. In high school, I used to agonize over what now seem like trivial choices like what topic I should choose for my English papers. Perhaps that’s why I’m so drawn to the science of decision-making.
