Copyright issues in the electronic world
Professor Charles Oppenheim
28th January 2003, Edinburgh
Copyright is a challenging topic for information professionals, even more
so in this e-info age! The Multi-media, Information and Technology Group,
Scotland (MmITS) invite you to attend this seminar given by Professor
Charles Oppenheim, an acknowledged expert in the area of copyright. The
seminar will examine copyright law from the point of view of those
librarians and information managers who are grappling with electronic
materials. It starts with a basic overview of copyright law, and then
considers the problems caused by electronic materials and the Internet.
It also considers the copyright status of materials on the Internet, and
the legality of linking and framing.
The reactions of copyright owners to these developments are then
considered, with an emphasis on the EU Directive on Copyright and Related
Rights that will come into effect in the UK by March 2003. The
implications of this Directive, especially for those in the commercial
sector, and for implications of the new laws on Digital Rights Management
Systems will be considered. The seminar will conclude with some thoughts
about the future of copyright in the electronic environment. There will
also be an opportunity to ask Charles questions.
Please note: bookings will close for this meeting on Friday 24th January
2003. Numbers are limited so please apply early.
