Subject: CopyCamp 2017 open call for speakers - please distribute!
To:
Hello,
* The Modern Poland Foundation is pleased to inform that the Open Call for
Speakers at the 6th International CopyCamp conference (September 28-29,
2017 in Warsaw) has launched under the title "Beyond copyright: how
exclusive rights affect real life?" *
* We would be more than grateful if you distribute this information in your
communities. About CopyCamp In the last 5 years, we have succeeded in
making CopyCamp the biggest conference about social and economic aspects of
copyright in Europe. It has been the place for a balanced, original, and
multi-sided debate. Over this time, we have facilitated exchange of ideas
about exclusive rights between 250 speakers from all over Europe and
abroad. At CopyCamp we discuss the law, but it is not a legal conference.
Our participants share their stories touching on real-life issues,
questioning popular beliefs that only experts should be concerned with
exclusive rights. Usually, we reach out to people active in culture,
education, science, government and technology. This year we also wish to
invite those active in other areas, for example, health, food or security.
Open call details We invite our prospective speakers to submit presentation
proposals at:
https://copycamp.pl/en/contact/register-speaker/
<https://copycamp.pl/en/contact/register-speaker/>. Please note: your
presentation should not exceed 10 minutes. Please include an abstract of no
more than 1800 characters under one of the following thematic tracks: -
business models, heritage digitization, remix What are the boundaries of
appropriation in culture? Who owns the past and whether these exclusive
rights allow to control the present and the future? How to make money from
creativity without selling yourself? - health, food, security, and
exclusive rights In the age when information and its various embodiments
are subject to exclusive rights, who owns medicines and equipment necessary
to provide health care? Who owns grain and machines used to harvest it if
they are protected with patent-like rights or DRM? To what extent exclusive
rights can affect what you eat, how you exercise, or whether you can apply
a specific treatment? - text and data mining, machine learning, online
education Who owns the data fed to algorithms? Do you own the algorithms
you use to mine this data? What about the inferred knowledge? To what
extent exclusive rights may affect the way you do business or research?
What does it mean to own data about someone, or data necessary for that
person’s education? - IoT: autonomous cars, smart homes, wearables What
does it mean to own exclusive rights to software and data used to construct
autonomous agents? What can you do with an interconnected “thing”? What
will it mean in a near future for traditional concepts such as property or
personality? - hacking government data, public procurement, public aid in
culture Who owns information created using public money? How can this
information be appropriated? What is the role of government in the
development of information infrastructure? Deadline: May 31, 2017 Open call
results will be announced by the end of June The organisers are not capable
of covering expenses related with Open Call speakers’ participation in the
CopyCamp conference. As always, we will be pleased to host all interested
parties in a neutral and friendly space, and encourage participants to
share thoughts and exchange ideas.*
Kind regards,
Krzysztof Siewicz
