Should culture play by the same rules as commerce in the on-line world?
The commercial promise of the new information technology is now
commonplace. What are the implications for culture, in both for-profit and
non-profit sectors? In an on-line environment dominated by market
forces, are different rates, rules, and responsibilities necessary when
culture is involved?
To discuss these questions, join:
Moderator Michael Shapiro, General Counsel, International Intellectual
Property Institute;
Donald Druker, Program Officer, Technology Opportunities Program,
National
Telecommunications and Information Administration, U.S.Department of
Commerce;
David Eisner, Vice President, America Online Foundation;
William Gilcher, Director of Media Projects, U.S. and Canada,
Goethe-Institut, Washington, D.C.;
David Green, Executive Director, National Initiative for a Networked
Cultural Heritage.
In the Washington Post on February 29, 2000, Richard Morin and Claudia
Deane noted that the Center's new book "will get Washington to think as
seriously about the nation's cultural life as it does about Bosnia or tax
policy." Available from The New Press, The Politics of Culture features
fresh research and thought-provoking commentary, providing a
compelling outline for the future of American public policy as it intersects
with arts and culture.
