piracy conference in Manila

[Jonathan M. Hall]

Dear KineJapanners,

Given the interest on copyright we've followed for a years now-- 
thanks in no small part to Aaron's postings on the legal developments  
in Japan, I've taken the liberty of sending this information on a  
conference this month in Manila, albeit one not about Japanese film.

Yours sincerely,
Jonathan

> Many Filipinos still remember the "Asian Edition" - a scheme during  
> the Marcos years, when American textbooks were reprinted locally  
> and without paying royalties to the original publishers. Now,  
> “Asian Edition” serves as title for a conference that will look at  
> the phenomenon of media piracy in South East Asia today. Music,  
> movie and software piracy is one of the most prominent media issues  
> of the digital millennium. In the Philippines it has started a  
> whole underground economy and currently seems to change the way  
> movies and other media products are distributed and consumed  
> products here and in other South East Asian countries.
>
> The goal of the workshop is to contribute to an informed discussion  
> of media piracy and issues of Intellectual Property in the age of  
> digital reproduction. Instead of portraying piracy exclusively as a  
> crime against artists and distributors, the proposed workshop will  
> look at piracy as a social, cultural and economic phenomenon. And  
> it will discuss new concepts of addressing ownership of  
> Intellectual Property, such as Creative Commons and Open Source.
>
> Dr. Tilman Baumgärtel, Visiting Professor at the University of the  
> Philippines, organizes the conference.
