Location: Brooklyn Bridge Park – Pier 3
Copyright law has changed substantively and incrementally in the past 10 years as digital media and the Internet have substantively reshaped our cultural, political, social and photographic landscape. Technology, online collectivism and social networking are changing the way people think and process information. Copyright 2.0 will review key provisions of the Copyright law that all photographers should know, and it will challenge listeners to think about how the law and user’s behavior must be reformed to make the law more effective in a culture that prizes meta everything, mash-ups, bricolage and streaming data.
