by | February 23, 2010 | Events | Comments Off

Yale Students for Free Culture and the Yale Information Society Project are hosting a live screening of a global webcast of a talk by Lawrence Lessig convened by the Open Video Alliance and Harvard’s Berkman Center. The talk is being broadcast Thursday, February 25th from 6:00 to 7:30 EST, live from Cambridge, MA.

The 45 minute lecture will take place at 6:00 p.m. in William L. Harkness (WLH) Hall, followed by a discussion. The event will be moderated by Elizabeth Stark, lecturer at Yale (“IP in the Digital Age,” “Intro to Law and Technology”) and fellow at the Information Society Project at Yale Law School. Questions can be submitted using the hashtag #wireside.

For more information, or to find out about screenings in other locations, see the Open Video Alliance announcement.

The Talk:
“This is a talk about copyright in a digital age, and the role (and importance) of a doctrine like “fair use.” Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, and is essential for commentary, criticism, news reporting, remix, research, teaching and scholarship with video. As a medium, online video will be most powerful when it is fluid, like a conversation. Like the rest of the internet, online video must be designed to encourage creative expression and political participation, not just passive consumption.”
