I did leave a longer comment, but I think it got eaten as spam because it and a couple of links in it. For what it's worth, I've been looking at disaggregating courses into component parts, which maybe represents something of a use case down the line for rights cleared assets: http://blogs.open.ac.uk/Maths/ajh59/012487.html Sounds like an interesting workshop…

I've been dabbling with various sideways takes on the issue of fair use, including disaggregating courses into component parts (OpenLearn - http://blogs.open.ac.uk/Maths/ajh59/010097.html , MIT - http://blogs.open.ac.uk/Maths/ajh59/010236.html , Yale - http://blogs.open.ac.uk/Maths/ajh59/012487.html ) and hassling rights managers about using user submitted content (e.g. youtube movies) in online course materials (http://blogs.open.ac.uk/Maths/ajh59/012355.html ). Another idea I'm working on - though haven't posted about yet - are "hot swappable" assets; that is, particular images, movies etc that can be easily dropped from a course and replaced with an equivalent in a quick and efficient way, e.g. to cope with rights issues, the disappearance of a 3rd party asset from a 3rd party site and so on. The fair use w/s looks like a great idea.
