Copyright Utopia: Alternative Visions, Methods, and Policies

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.
