Generously hosted by the Cleveland Museum of Art, and co-sponsored by the Cleveland Intellectual Property Law Association and Americans for the Arts, this NINCH Copyright Town Meeting focuses on some of the issues that artists and their audiences confront in creating, distributing and/or re-using the arts online. What has been the impact of the Internet on the creative community and how has copyright law and practice and other legal structures affected what can be done online? Practitioners, lawyers, legal scholars, and a critical commentator on digital copyright law and practice come together to offer their wisdom and experiences to those creating and using the arts online. After an introductory keynote address by June Besek, in which she reviews copyright basics and current key developments in digital copyright legislation, the meeting will comprise three panels: Art & Work: Copyright, Contracts and Work-for-Hire Access & Use: Copyright, The Public Domain and the First Amendment Artists and Copyright: Experiences Working Online The meeting will conclude with an open forum with questions, comments and discussion on the issues raised by the presentations.
