The three-day symposium held May 28-30, 2008, explored the relationship between the U.S. copyright monopoly, technological innovation and higher education institutions. The program focused on the tension and high-stakes conflict between copyright law and culture occasioned by two facts: 1) the default rules in U.S. copyright law encourage exclusive ownership and create a limited monopoly; and 2) today’s technological and cultural landscape encourages sharing and collaboration. Speakers and participants probed such questions as: Where do higher education interests reside? We discussed these issues in the context of: The Development of User Generated Content; Mass Digitization Projects; The Transformation of "Authorship"; and the Use of Wikis, Blogs and other Technologies in the Development of Scholarship.
For the first time ever, and in keeping with the theme of this year's program, the symposium was also streamed live into the virtual world of Second Life! Avatars from across the U.S. and abroad participated in the keynote and panelist sessions, as well as in the roundtable discussions. Participants in both Second Life and face-to-face all enjoyed and benefited from the connections between the two worlds. (You may view photos and screencasts from the event here.)
For the fourth year, the symposium was also presented as a live webcast, which was very well received by viewers nationwide. For more program details, please see the symposium archives.

The three-day symposium held May 21-23, 2007, focused on the current state of copyright nationally and internationally and asked how the future of copyright might impact higher education. As colleges and universities make decisions managing third party copyrighted works, symposium participants discussed difficult questions created by our legal structure and human needs. What methods and policies will best serve students, faculty, publishers, and the academic enterprise? Will the efforts of organizations like Creative Commons create a more effective and efficient method for managing copyrighted works? Is licensing the only alternative to copyright? Should alternative methods work within the legal structure already in place? Will the future of copyright be Orwellian, living within the copyright Matrix, or be a Brave New World? What would copyright utopia look like?
For the third year, the symposium was also presented as a live webcast, which was very well received by viewers nationwide. For more program details, please see the symposium archives.
