Lunch is included

Join publishers, scholars, educators, librarians, legal practioners, historians, and creators of copyrightable works to help develop a vision of the public interest in copyright in a digital age. Conference participants will analyze copyright in historical, present and future contexts to determine how the public interest can become an integral part of the NII White Paper and recent copyright legislation debates. One of the major thrusts will be to emphasize the value of a utilitarian balance of private and public goods as the more productive area for discussion and resolution of copyright issues.
