At the conference

Cédric Manara will address key topics including the shrinking of the public domain and current legislation that is leading to what he terms a “cultural black hole”. He will also make the case for more flexibility in copyright law and take a look into the recent landmark Google Books decision in New York which ruled Google’s book scanning project as fair use under copyright law.
