From massive illegal file-sharing to unauthorized recoding of 

copyrighted works, the advent of the Internet and new 

communications technologies have created major challenges for 

copyright holders. In light of these challenges, the HKSAR government 

is currently conducting a consultation on "Copyright Protection in the 

Digital Environment." Do we need online copyright reforms? Can the 

reforms effectively target the digital piracy problem? Would the new 

laws create unintended consequences? Are there other alternatives 

besides copyright law revision? Drawing on experience from the United 

States and other countries, the speaker will explore copyright reforms 

in the digital age, with an emphasis on the government's consultation 

document.
