Prof Eben Moglen on "GNU GPL Version 3: The Law Making Process"
International Conference on Commons, Users, Service Providers Internet (Self-)Regulation and Copyright
hosted by
- Prof Dr Axel Metzger, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Institute of Legal Informatics
- Prof Dr Thomas Dreier, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
- Prof Dr Gerald Spindler, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen
will be held on March 17-18, 2010, at the Leibnizhaus, Holzmarkt 4, D-30159 Hannover, Germany.
Self-regulation of the Internet has been controversial from the very beginning. Liberal voices have emphasized the positive effects of a truly global medium of unrestricted communication where new ways of collaboration amongst creators, users and providers may be implemented. For conservatives, the internet provides a biotope for all types of illegal activity including copyright ‘piracy’. However, state-driven regulation is hardly ever effective due to the decentralized architecture of the internet and the territorially restricted sovereignty of states.
The conference highlights three different models of regulation for copyright issues;
the self-regulation of free software and content communities, the de-regulation of ISP‘s liability and the strict regulation of personal and other privileged use by copyright limitations and exceptions.
The morning session of March 18 certainly is of special interest in the context of using, developing and distributing Open Source Software:
09.00-09.20 | Free Software and Content Communities: Current Issues in European Law |
09.20-09.40 | GNU GPL Version 3: The Law Making Process |
09.40-10.10 | Discussion |
10.10-10.30 | GNU GPL Enforcement in Germany and Europe |
10.30-10.50 | Creative Commons International: Achievements and Perspectives |
