Our friends at CREATe, the UK Centre for
Copyright and New Business Models in the Creative Economy, wish to let 1709
Blog readers know about the forthcoming CREATe Festival 2016, taking place on Friday
in London.
More specifically:
"The Royal Society of
Arts in London is showcasing on 24 June (this Friday) research findings by CREATe. There will be policy debates and expert
panels that explore the future of the creative economy, the interface of
digital innovation and legal regulation, and in particular the role of
copyright law. You can take part in behavioural experiments, attend a workshop
on fashion IP, learn more about art forgery, or interact with fellow online
video creators in a meet-up. There will a hackathon video presentation as well
as the launch of CREATe’s very own tartan!
The Festival has partnered with London Technology Week, a series of events taking place throughout London that celebrates and connects innovators from leading R&D centres, tech businesses, universities and specialist hubs.
Martin Kretschmer, Professor of IP Law at the University
of Glasgow, and Director of CREATe, says: “The creative industries (which
include very diverse sectors, such as music, publishing, news, games, film, TV
and radio) face a radical challenge. All online behaviour is potentially observable,
and whoever controls this data infrastructure will have a stake in the creative
economy that is very different from the role of earlier cultural
intermediaries.”
“CREATe's core concern is
the future of creative production, and in particular the relationship between
law and digital innovation. What is the role of copyright, among alternative
modes of identification, appropriation and finance? Some see copyright as
salvation, some as the enemy of innovation. CREATe’s research programme
addresses this faultline.”
