Description
The theme is “Copyright in the Age of Disruption”. We encourage the submission of papers covering a wide range of topics relating to how copyright law needs to be reformed in the 21st century. Papers and presentations are expected to discuss how copyright law would address myriad disruptive phenomena such as the evolving use of artificial intelligence, the creation of the metaverse, text and data-mining, new communication technologies, NFTs and fast fashion. The conference will also explore challenges to established copyright doctrines such as idea-expression dichotomy, fact-expression dichotomy, fair use and first-sale, as well as the meanings of familiar concepts that include “authorship”, “transformative use” and “the right of communication to the public”.
