Recommended: “Copyright in a Hyper Digital Age”
On April 17th ASMP is hosting a panel discussion titled “Copyright in a Hyper Digital Age: Copyrights? Copyleft? What rights are left?” This event should be noteworthy for several reason but most notably because of the meetings tone (see below).
This won’t be your father’s Copyright event.
This isn’t a “How to fill out the Federal Formsâ€, or “Let’s complain about Evil Clients†event.
This will be frank interchange between cutting edge legal minds, prominent creative industry players, and persuasive advocates.
This will be vivid insight and uncensored opinion with audience participation about artists’ rights in the digital age.
Panelists will include:
Mike Linksvayer – Vice President Creative Commons
Vic Perlman – General Counsel ASMP
M.J. Bogatin – Board President of California Lawyers for the Arts
Henry W. Jones, III (Hank) – Former General Counsel and VP of intellectual property of several Silicon Valley tech companies and consultant on Open Source and Intellectual Property rights
Gerald Bybee – Long time professional photographer. Consultant and expert witness on legal cases involving copyright in photography
Panel moderated by Jeff Pfluege
Location: Academy of Art Auditorium & Gallery. 79 New Montgomery, San Francisco
Date and Time: Thursday, April 17th, 7pm
Social hour begins at 6pm
Admission information can be found on the following event page.

I am sure this will be quite interesting. Too bad they aren’t streaming it live. I hope maybe there will be a podcast available at least?

This looks to be an exciting and spirited evening. I’m bummed I won’t be able to be there in person. I hope I’ll be able to get the gist vicariously through your review / reporting.
Cheers,

@Mark and @Gary I’ll do my best to post a recap. If there is a recording of the event made I’ll be sure to relay news of that. With a little luck they can begin recording these meetings.

[...] Thursday evenings ASMP NorCal chapter event “Copyright in a Hyper Digital Age” as expected proved to be incredibly informative. The panel (see this post for the whose who of the event) was extremely impressive and spoke to copyright concerns that all photographers should be tuned in to. Not only was the panel great, but the questions asked by the audience were timely and gave a frightening snapshot to the challenges modern photographers now face. [...]
