NEW YORK CITY COPYRIGHT TOWN MEETING
"Intellectual Property & Multimedia in the Digital Age"
Monday September 24: New York Public Library
http://www.nypl.org/research/copyright/index.html
* Siva Vaidhyanathan and Jane White added to Program *
The New York City NINCH COPYRIGHT TOWN MEETING will be held Monday
September 24 (8:30am-5pm) at the New York Public Library (Fifth Avenue at
42nd Street).
Due to the turmoil induced by the attack on New York City last week, two of
the advertised speakers will not be able to participate. However, we are
very grateful that two new speakers have agreed to contribute to the program:
* Siva Vaidhyanathan, cultural historian and media scholar at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, author of the new book "Copyrights and
Copywrongs," is currently working on a book about Napster and the ways we
regulate our information ecosystem.
* Jane White, Director of the International Children's Digital Library at
The Internet Archive, and formerly of ABC News, will speak about copyright
issues faced by The Internet Moving Images Archive <www.archive.org/movies/>
As before, the two keynote speakers, Professor Peter Jaszi (Washington
College of Law, American University) and Linda Tadic (Manager of the
Digital Library, Home Box Office) will explore issues arising for
non-profit cultural institutions as they manage and use multimedia digital
cultural material in an online environment. They will then each moderate a
panel discussing issues from the points of view of owners and users of
digital assets.
Registration: A free box lunch will be available only for those 315 people
who have registered for the meeting. Although registration has closed,
there may be some limited seating available for others.
The NINCH Copyright Town Meetings balance expert opinion and audience
participation on the basics of copyright law, the implications of copyright
online, recent changes in copyright law and practice, and practical issues
related to the networking of cultural heritage materials. The program will
include plenty of time for audience questions, comments and discussion. For
information on all the NINCH 2001 Copyright Town meetings, see
