In association with the College Art Association's Committee on Intellectual
Property, NINCH presents its 21st Copyright Town Meeting as part of the
2003 College Art Association Annual Conference.
The advantages of digital publishing online seem clear to many authors,
largely because of the potential for reaching wide and often new audiences.
However, owners of images and many publishers are not so convinced about
the benefits of moving online and some fear losing economic control of
their copyrighted material.
This NINCH Copyright Town Meeting will survey the rights challenges of
publishing art history and art criticism online. The impact of the TEACH
Act (Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization Act) on digital
publishing will also be discussed as Distance Education products fit well
within the spectrum that includes both traditional publishing and
class-room teaching.
The meeting brings together authors, publishers, museum administrators,
legal counsel, and culture and media historians to discuss their
experiences and provide their advice for moving forward. As with all NINCH
Copyright Town Meetings, the audience is encouraged to participate and
ample time is reserved for that purpose.
Featured speakers:
* Petra Chu, Professor of Art, Seton Hall University; Founding Managing
Editor, Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide
* Susan Chun, General Manager for Electronic Information Planning,
Metropolitan Museum of Art
* Robert Clarida, Partner, Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman, P.C.

This program is related to two other publishing programs at the CAA
conference: "Problems of Publishing for Tenure in the Arts and Art
History," (Friday, February 21, noon-1:30 p.m); and "Clearing Rights and
Permissions: How To, Why To, When To," (Saturday, February 22, 12:30-2:00
p.m). For further details, see
http://www.studiolo.org/IP/2003NYTM/index.htm and
http://www.collegeart.org/caa/news/2003/Jan/annualconference.html
The NINCH Copyright Town Meetings seek to 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 NINCH Copyright Town meetings, see

In addition to papers on these topics, proposals for papers and/or panels on other topics within the framework of the "State Technology - Technology and Culture" theme are welcomed. Please forward abstracts of 250-300 words for a proposed paper of 20 minutes, as well as a brief bio, to the theme co-ordinator, Maximiliaan van Woudenberg.
