presents
A SCHOLARLY SYMPOSIUM on
COPYRIGHT OWNERS' RIGHTS AND USERS' PRIVILEGES ON THE INTERNET: Issues of Implied Licenses, Caching, Linking, Fair Use, First Sale,and Sign-on Licenses
November 1-2, 1996
Dayton Convention Center, Dayton, Ohio
The Program in Law and Technology at the University of Dayton School of Law focuses on intellectual property and computer law/cyberspace law. The School of Law offers eight courses in intellectual property law and three courses in computer law/cyberspace law. It is among the leaders in the nation in its couse offerings in these areas.
For the past six years, The Program has organized Advanced Computer Law CLE seminars and Scholarly Symposia and is proud to do so again this year.
FORMAT: The Symposium will bring together leading copyright scholars from academia and leading attorneys from practice for comprehensive discussions in a scholarly symposium. The speakers will present abridged versions of articles they are producing for this Symposium. Interspersed with these presentations will be Open Discussions in which all of the speakers, commentators, and attendees will have the opportunity to comment on, refine, and/or criticize the ideas of the speakers.
ISSUES. The Symposium will focus on questions such as:
NEED: The rapid expansion of the internet is a technological and cultural phenomenon which is likely to have significant impacts in many areas, one of which is copyright law. The Symposium will focus on some important issues of how copyright law should be applied in the context of the internet.
PURPOSE: The Symposium is designed to encourages critical, reflective thinking by scholars and commentators about some important new copyright issues as applied to the internet. The United States Copyright Office is very interested in these issues and supports this endeavor as part of its ongoing evaluation of copyright law and policy.
PUBLICATION: The scholarly articles will be published in a special Symposium issue of the University of Dayton Law Review in the spring of 1997. The articles will also be available in looseleaf format at the time of the Symposium, although some changes in the articles are likely between that time and the time they appear in the Law Review.
SCHEDULE: Registration will be 8:00 - 8:30 on November 1, 1996. Beverages and pastries will be provided 8:00 - 8:30 both days. The talks and discussion will be 8:30 - 5:00 each day, with mid-morning, lunch, and mid-afternoon breaks.
