Wednesday, August 6th
10:45 AM - Noon, BUILDING BLOCKS, San Jose (see www.digitalhollywood.com for more info) Track I: Technology Redefining the Future
The Digital Consumer: Digital Choice and Access to Digital Content - Balancing Consumer Rights with Technology, Regulation and Legal Principles
ABOUT THE SESSION:
Digital technology enables consumers to enjoy and interact with creative content across a wide array of platforms. Success in the digital age hinges on the ability to meet the demands of the digital consumer and embrace novel business models that capitalize on new products, markets, and distribution methods made possible by digital technology.
As Congress and the courts struggle to keep pace with rapidly advancing technology, the law has evolved to create a precarious balance between protecting the rights of copyright owners and meeting the demands of the digital consumer. Are changes to the law able to help harmonize these interests?
How could the power of new technologies be harnessed in a way that fairly rewards copyright owners yet delights consumers?
Is the law able serve to foster the creativity of Web 2.0 consumers and broaden the appeal of user-generated content? Is it possible to shape the law and regulation to drive technological advancement instead of stifling innovation?
