The goal
of the workshop is to contribute to an informed
discussion of media piracy and issues of Intellectual Property in the
age of
digital reproduction. Instead of portraying piracy exclusively as a
crime
against artists and distributors, the proposed workshop will look at
piracy as
a social, cultural and economic phenomenon. And it will discuss new
concepts of
addressing ownership of Intellectual Property, such as Creative Commons
and
Open Source. Dr.
Tilman Baumgärtel, Visiting Professor at the University of the
Philippines, organizes the conference.
