Ordinary people around the world are revolutionizing the way media is produced and distributed.

Sites like YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, BitTorrent, Wikipedia and Google are completely

altering how the masses interact with video, pictures, art, music, and literature. Colleges and
universities desire to harness the power of these incredible tools for distributing scholarship and creative works.  

But does U.S. copyright law accommodate many of these uses?   Please join the Center for Intellectual

Property as we discuss these issues with scholars and practitioners about how students, faculty and 
the general public can continue to innovate and disseminate new content within the U.S. Copyright regime.

This event is your opportunity to engage peers and experts such as: William Fisher, Berkman Center

to Internet & Society, Harvard Law School; Fred von Lohmann, Electronic Frontier Foundation,

Alec French, NBC Universal; Steven Marks, General Counsel, RIAA.

 

Don't miss our luncheon speaker, William "Brit" Kirwan, Chancellor, University System of Maryland;

Co-Chair, Joint Committee of the Higher Education and Entertainment Communities Technology Task Force.  

Your registration includes a detailed notebook, meals and opportunity for in depth interaction with colleagues and speakers.

Early registration deadline is April 20. Reserve your special regional discount rate for colleges in MD, DC and VA.
