Do we need to protect the public domain? 


Thursday 17th February 

Utilitarian justifications of property, such as Hardin's tragedy of the
commons, have long espoused the efficiency of private ownership. Similarly,
those in favour of the protection of the commons often rely on arguments
relating to the efficiency of fewer public property rights. This event will
consider the relevance of public domain content, both to competition and
innovation, and as a public good of itself. 
It will consider recent initiatives, such as Creative Commons, which aims to
provide a more flexible range of freedoms and protections to creators; the
role and requirements of creators; and, the relationship between public
domain content, property rights and competition and innovation. 

The event will be held at ippr on 17th February 2005, 2 - 4pm. 

Speakers include: 
- Damian Tambini, Head of the Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policy
(PCMLP), Oxford and UK Project Lead for Creative Commons; 
- Cory Doctorow, European Affairs Co-ordinator for Electronic Frontier
Foundation; 
- David Ferguson, Chairman, Creators' Rights Alliance.
