Copyright fun never ends. With this in mind, this Kat is delighted to share with readers the launch of a new website, ‘Cartography and Copyright’, which should be of interest to copyright lovers, map enthusiasts, history keen beans, and digitization geeks.
The website ‘Cartography and Copyright’ is available here: https://www.copyrightcartography.org/.
The website was launched on Friday 5 July 2019 by Professor Isabella Alexander from University Technology Sydney. Alexander is an expert in intellectual property law with a particular penchant for copyright history, legal history and…maps!
The website itself can be described as an interactive map retracing historic copyright cases on…well, maps. As you navigate the website, you travel from London to Edinburgh, Melbourne and Sydney to find out more about key copyright cases involving map-makers and printers in each city.
The map of each city “visualizes the working addresses of mapmakers who were involved in early copyright disputes over maps”. The website allows you to “click on a mapmaker's name to read about cases in which they were involved, or move to a new location below”.
The best thing to do to get a sense of how this works is to give it a go yourself – Enjoy the ride!

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.
