COPYRIGHT & THE DEAD-SEA SCROLLS
Monday March 5: Live Webcast
http://weblaw.haifa.ac.il/dss/
"Recently, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that a scholar who
deciphered an ancient text (one of the Dead Sea Scrolls) owns the
copyright of the text. This ruling exemplifies the problems raised by
the propertization of academic research and raises intriguing
questions about the ownership of cultural information."
The conference on issues surrounding this decision will be webcast
live Monday march 5, featuring the following speakers in Haifa,
Washington, DC and Los Angeles.
* Justice Dalia Dorner, Israeli Supreme Court
* Professor Devorah Dimant, leading scholar of the Scrolls
* Mr. David Nimmer, Irell & Manella LLP
* Professor Peter Jaszi, Washington College of Law
* Dr. Niva Elkin-Koren, Faculty of Law, University of Haifa
* Dr. Michael Birnhack, Faculty of Law, University of Haifa
