“Copyright and Non-Use”, öffentliche Keynote von Prof. Dr. Martin Kretschmer (CREATe, University of Glasgow) 

"One of the core rationales of copyright law is “to benefit learning”. The law attempts to do this by encouraging creative production and use through awarding exclusive rights. Yet, we live in a world where most materials protected by copyright law are not in use. This talk reviews the empirical evidence about the use of in- and out-of-copyright materials, and of those whose copyright status is uncertain. Risk based strategies to release such materials (including financial, reputational, ethical and time risks) will be explored."

Interessierte sind herzlich eingeladen, dem Vortrag am 21.09.2022, 16.30-18.00 Uhr remote (über Zoom) zu folgen. Um die Zugangsdaten zu erhalten, schreiben Sie bitte an cdmd[at]nfdi4culture.de.
