Hi Everyone,

We're pleased to announce that the QUT faculties of Law and Creative
Industries are presenting a conference in January entitled 'Open Content
Licensing (OCL): Cultivating the Creative Commons'. 

Speakers will include:
* Professor Lawrence Lessig, Stanford University
* The Hon. Justice Ronald Sackville, Federal Court of Australia (TBC)
* Senator Kate Lundy, Labor Senator for the ACT
* Richard Neville, Social Commentator and Futurist (TBC)
* Christiane Asschenfeldt, Creative Commons, Germany
* Tom Cochrane, QUT DVC (Technology, Information & Learning Support)
* Professor Stuart Cunningham, Director of CIRAC, Creative Industries, QUT
* Professor Brian Fitzgerald, Head, QUT School of Law
* Dr Terry Cutler, Company Director of Cutler and Company Pty Ltd

The conference will be held on Tuesday 18 and Wednesday 19 January at
the QUT Gardens Point (City) campus in Brisbane. Cost (inc GST) will be 
$340 for earlybird registrations (before 2 December 2004) and $380
afterwards.

We are also hosting an optional mini-conference immediately after the main
conference, called 'Law and Computer Games: MUDS and Virtual
Communities'. We intend to highlight and discuss some of the challenging
legal issues that face interactive play and communal development of
games and culture. Hopefully we can generate some meaningful discourse
about possible solutions to the emerging legal problems that are chasing
the fast moving technological advancements.
