Bernt Hugenholtz of the University of Amsterdam, Institute for Information Law: "Creative Commons and Authors' Rights: Les extrèmes se touchent" Date: 10/24/05 Time: 12:15 p.m. Location: Duke Law School, Room 3043 Lunch will be served Conceived from radically different visions of copyright, American-bred Creative Commons and Old Europe-style authors' rights (droit d'auteur) have more in common than initially meets the eye. Focusing on the rights and freedoms of creators, both systems recognize certain inalienable moral rights, such as a right to attribution and a right of integrity. Moreover, for both systems to achieve their professed goals, it is vital that copyright in works of authorship remain with the actual creators, and not be transferred to the media companies or collecting societies that wish to exploit them. Therefore, certain statutory limits to freedom of contract aimed at preventing (overly) broad grants of rights are required. Strong author-protective contract rules currently exist in many traditional authors' rights countries, such as France and Germany, and may serve as examples for the United States. Bernt Hugenholtz is Professor of Intellectual Property Law, and Director of the Institute for Information Law of the University of Amsterdam (IViR). He has written numerous books, studies and articles on a variety of topics involving copyright, information technology and the networked environment. He advises the Minister of Justice of the Netherlands, and has been a consultant to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), the European Commission, the European Parliament and several other national governments. Professor Hugenholtz is Legal Project Lead of Creative Commons, the Netherlands. This lecture is open to all, and is sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Public Domain as part of the Information Ecology Lecture Series. Boxed lunches will be available for the first eighty people who come to the lecture. -- John J.
