Artists, Technology and the Ownership of Creative Content: Summary Report

Abstract

From Introduction: "As the title of the conference suggests, discussions about 'artists, technology and the ownership of creative content' range across a large territory of law, politics, technology, art, history and the mysterious dynamics of creativity itself. Yet for all the complexities of this topic, one fact is inescapable: the digital revolution is provoking a wide array of novel quandaries. Answers are elusive, it seems, because the technologies are disrupting many existing economic and political relationships, as embodied in law and markets – yet forging new alignments of interests and new social consensuses is notoriously difficult work."
