Topic
Balancing competing and complementary rights is at the heart of a fair copyright framework.
At the 2008 NDF conference copyright was a hot topic of discussion. A year has
gone by, and the discussion has not gotten any quieter: in fact, with the outcry over
the proposed amendment to Section 92A of the Copyright Act, the emergence of a
open data movement in New Zealand, and the increased uptake of Creative
Commons licensing, the talk is getting louder.
This forum aims to shift the discussion at this year's conference in the direction of
questions of fair use, and the original intent of copyright law, to stimulate creativity
for the enrichment of the general public..."
