Dear all

Some of you might be interested in this event which I will be chairing
on Friday next:


        *Innovation, Information and the Internet: Modernising Copyright Law*

------------------------------------------------------------------------

will be served at 12.00)

The current review of copyright law in Ireland presents significant
challenges for rightsholders, copyright users and the legal profession
alike. This conference will consider areas where Irish law is in need of
reform and in particular will look at the role of copyright in the
digital economy, the development of fair dealing exceptions, the role
which fair use plays in the United States, and the experience of reform
in the United Kingdom.

Speakers will include prominent national and international experts from
private practice, academia and government, including:
