Creative Work and Copyright
HMKV in the PHOENIX Halle Dortmund
September, 26 - 28, 2008

A conference by iRights.info, Berlin, and Hartware MedienKunstVerein, Dortmund

Does copyright protect the author or the 
exploiter? How do authors work - with public 
grants, in creative industries, or in happy and 
willing self-exploitation? Remixing is illegal 
yet extremely common - how can the interests of 
the creatives and re-creatives be reconciled? 
Pressing questions from the analysis of new 
labour conditions will be explored not only in 
talks and panel discussions but also in the form 
of performances, films, concerts, and a tour of 
the exhibition "Anna Kournikova Deleted By 
Memeright Trusted System - Art in the Age of 
Intellectual Property".

Conference language: German

The symposium is sponsored by the Federal Centre for Civic Education.
