COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM BRUNEL


Brunel University’s newly formed Intellectual Property, Media and Internet Research Group is launching a seminar series, based at Brunel’s Uxbridge campus.

Our first speaker is Florian Koempel, legal counsel at British Music Rights and his subject is "The exception to private copying in the UK: lamentable or irrelevant?"

Says Florian:
"Under UK Copyright Law any act of copying without the consent of the rights owner, is illegal (unless an exception expressly allows it). Yet, many make safety copies, transfer music from one format to another, or download music on the internet. Hardware producers and manufacturers of DVD-Rs and CD-Rs sell their devices including limitless copying facilities without the music creator or publisher being compensated. The question of private copying and fair compensation of the creator remains very controversial. This talk will discuss the different issues (legal and practical) involved under European and UK law, as well as exploring the practical relevance of the subject".
The talk takes place at 1pm on Wednesday 6 December. All are welcome and there’s no charge, but please RSVP to Ilanah.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
