>Expanding Copyright Horizons - Creative Commons Seminar 27 October 2007
>
>Digital technologies are connecting people in ways that were never
>before possible but that brings challenges around copyright. It also
>adds new meaning to concepts such as the Information Commons and the
>value to society of unencumbered access to all information.  The
>Creative Commons licences are a modern approach to balancing the rights
>of the creator and public access. They "allow" users to share, reuse
>and remix legally.
>
>The Creative Commons Seminar on Saturday 27 October (full day held at
>the National Library, Wellington) is your opportunity to gain a greater
>understanding of the Creative Commons approach to copyright licensing.
>
>If you're in the creative, cultural, scientific or educational space,
>are interested in securing a return on your creative investment and
>marking your work with the freedoms and access you want it to carry,
>then this seminar is for you. It's also for people who have an
>interest or involvement in copyright and the direction the new open
>content licensing is taking.
>
>The free programme includes guest speaker Dr Anne Fitzgerald,
>Brisbane-based intellectual property and e-commerce lawyer and Adjunct
>Professor at the School of Law, Queensland University of Technology. As
>well as initiating Australia's Going Digital series of seminars and
>publications, Anne has written and presented extensively on legal
>aspects of e-commerce, multimedia and the Internet. The event will also
>include industry & research sector workshops, led by New Zealand
>experts, to discuss specific issues, uses and concerns.
>
>Register your interest now to anna.duckworth at natlib.govt.nz and to
>assist with planning please provide details of your sector & area of
>interest eg creative, research, education, government, legal etc. Also
>check out the website www.creativecommons.org.nz for background on
