Description:

By facilitating collaboration, remixing, re-working and linking, the Internet is changing the boundaries of creative practice. Electronic Frontiers Australia, Creative Commons, and the Organization for Transformative Works are at the forefront of digital rights and creative metamorphosis. What do these organisations do? What avenues for art and writing do they provide? Why do we need them and what can they do for you?

Title: The Battle for Copyright: Fandom versus Mega Corporations

Status: confirmed

Proposed by: Cathy Cupitt

Description:

This paper is driven by two questions: What is copyright? and How should it work? One common view of copyright is that it’s a way for authors to protect their hard work. While this is true, it is not the whole story. In particular: it is not individual authors who control and influence copyright law -- it is corporate authors, such as Disney, and government authors, such as the Australian Commonwealth.
