conference on 100th anniversary of 1909 Copyright Act
Santa Clara University Law School had a conference last Thursday in honor of the 100th anniversary of the 1909 Copyright Act. It was the first copyright act to protect works upon publication with notice, without prior registration; the first to recognize the right to make derivative works; and the first to recognize public domain. Since the 1909 law was in effect for almost 70 years, it had a profound impact on our society and a significant influence on the copyright law of today.
Mike Masnick posts a fascinating discussion of some of the things that were talked about at the conference on TechDirt.
