Morgen startet in der Berliner Kalkscheune die Open Knowledge Conference OKCon 2011. Es gibt ein spannendes Programm mit einer Vielzahl von internationalen Experten rund um freies Wissen. iRights.info wird auf der OKCon ebenfalls vertreten sein. iRights-Redakteur Till Kreutzer wird am Freitag den 01. Juli um 10 Uhr den Vortrag We are the Creators! halten.
In der Ankündigung heißt es dazu: “Cultural methods and means have changed radically in the digital era. We face phenomenons like the “Creativity of the Masses” and the “Remix-Culture”. Such and other developments in the societies all over the world shake the main principles of copyright law to the core. However the legal development did not (yet) react with likewise fundamentally revisions. Copyright law still focus’ only on the interests of the “original creator” and the entertainment, software and publishing industry – in other words: on piracy prevention and the enforcement of the given system. This diametral opposed development of legal and social norms let to a clash of the cultures and the generations long ago.”
Und weiter: “If the legislators do not (re)act adequately quite soon, the copyright system will collapse. In the presentation the social and cultural development will be compared with the legal development. An analysis will show the basic deficiencies the present copyright regime suffers from and what steps could (should) be taken to modernize the system in order to serve its destined function as the “Magna Charta of the Information Society.”
