Hi all,

Just wanted to make sure you'd all seen a couple of events you  might be
interested in signing up for next week, for those with an interest in
Copyright:

Special NetHui Copyright next Monday 12 March at Te Papa with special guest
Cory Doctorow 2018.nethui.nz

And Victoria University Centre of International Economic Law are hosting a
lunchtime lecture on Copyright reversion to authors, which also looks very
interesting!


Cheers
Ellen

NZCIEL Copyright in Review Lecture Series

*Copyright Reversion to Authors (and the Rosetta Effect):  An Empirical
Study of Reappearing Books*

*Paul Richard W. & Marie L. Corman Research Professor, University of
Illinois College of Law*

Copyright keeps out-of-print books unavailable to the public, and
commentators speculate that statutes transferring rights back to authors
would provide incentives for the republication of books from unexploited
back catalogues.  This study compares the availability of books whose
copyrights are eligible for statutory reversion under US law with books
whose copyrights are still exercised by the original publisher.  It finds
that 17 USC § 203, which permits reversion to authors in year 35 after
publication, and 17 USC § 304, which permits reversion 56 years after
publication, significantly increase in-print status for important classes
of books.  Several reasons are offered as to why the § 203 effect seems
stronger.  The 2002 decision in Random House v. Rosetta Books, which worked
a one-time de facto reversion of ebook rights to authors, has an even
greater effect on in-print status than the statutory schemes.
