Lippincott Subject: CIP 7th Annual Symposium Copyright Utopia May 21-23, 2007 X-Original-Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2007 15:39:02 -0500 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.624) The Center for Intellectual Property (CIP) at University of Maryland University College is excited to announce its Seventh Annual Symposium, COPYRIGHT UTOPIA: Alternative Visions, Methods & Policies MAY 21-23, 2007 MARRIOTT INN & CONFERENCE CENTER ADELPHI, MARYLAND For centuries philosophers, writers and artists have dreamed of perfect worlds. Monarchs by fiat and legislative bodies by bills have attempted to engineer perfect societies. But it matters not to what corner of the globe you travel...no one believes we have yet arrived in that perfect place. Perhaps just one reason we have not yet attained utopia is that people have such divergent views on what utopia should look like, which means, of course, that it can be a very complex and messy business to create one. But, nevertheless, we want to ask the question: What would copyright utopia look like? Join the Center for Intellectual Property as we convene this conversation with noted scholars and practitioners as they discuss the current state of copyright nationally and internationally. Featured keynote speakers: * Fred Von Lohmann, Senior Staff Attorney, Electronic Frontier Foundation * William Fisher, Director of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Harvard Law School Register today at www.umuc.edu/cip/symposium Don't miss this one-of-a-kind event!
