Hong Kong is currently exploring the introduction of more stringent copyright laws to reduce unauthorized copying of copyright works on the Internet.  Drawing on experiences from Australia, Canada, China, the United Kingdom, and the United States, this timely event examines how countries respond to continuous challenges in striking the appropriate balance in the copyright system in the digital age.  This panel also discusses the development and launch of the Creative Commons license in Hong Kong. The event is jointly sponsored by the Intellectual Property Law Center at Drake University Law School in Des Moines, Iowa and the Journalism and Media Studies Centre at the University of Hong Kong.
