****Posted on behalf of Claudia Hill, former Art and Architecture Cataloguer at Columbia University**** Hello, We're excited to be offering CopyrightX again in 2015. CopyrightX will run for twelve weeks; it will begin on January 26. The application process for the online sections opens on October 15 and closes on December 15. Please see the announcement below for further information; feel free to share it widely with your networks and to retweet the Berkman Center<https://twitter.com/berkmancenter/status/522411538439630848>. You are welcome to share the announcement widely in channels that might reach potential students. We'd be grateful for your help in spreading the word. Best, The CopyrightX Team *************************** The application for the CopyrightX online sections will run from Oct. 15 - Dec. 15. See CopyrightX:Sections<http://copyx.org/sections/> for details. CopyrightX<http://copyx.org/> is a networked course that explores the current law of copyright; the impact of that law on art, entertainment, and industry; and the ongoing debates concerning how the law should be reformed. Through a combination of recorded lectures<http://copyx.org/lectures/>, assigned readings<http://copyx.org/reading-materials/>, weekly seminars, live interactive webcasts<http://copyx.org/events/>, and online discussions, participants in the course examine and assess the ways in which the copyright system seeks to stimulate and regulate creative expression. In 2013, HarvardX, Harvard Law School, and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society launched an experiment in distance education- CopyrightX, the first free and open distance learning course on law. After two successful offerings, CopyrightX is an experiment no longer. Under the leadership of Professor William Fisher<http://tfisher.org/>, who created and directs the course, CopyrightX will be offered for a third time from January to May 2015. Three types of courses make up the CopyrightX Community: * a residential course<http://copyx.org/courses/harvard-law-school/> on Copyright Law, taught by Prof. Fisher to approximately 100 Harvard Law School students; * an online course divided into sections<http://copyx.org/sections/> of 25 students, each section taught by a Harvard Teaching Fellow; * a set of affiliated courses<http://copyx.org/affiliates/> based in countries other than the United States, each taught by an expert in copyright law. Participation in the online sections is free and is open to anyone at least 13 years of age, but enrollment is limited. Admission to the online sections will be administered through an open application process that opens on October 15 and closes on December 15. We welcome applicants from all countries, lawyers and non-lawyers alike. For details, see CopyrightX:Sections<http://copyx.org/sections/>. (The criteria for admission to each of the affiliated courses are set by the course's instructor. Students who will enroll in the affiliated courses may not apply to the online sections.) We encourage widespread promotion of the application through personal and professional networks and social media.
