Publishing on the Internet, the legal aspects

As all users of internet are aware, the nature of the web is changing, now that not only the individual users but also commercial entities realise its potential as the ideal distribution channel not simply of information, but also, and in view of this conference more importantly, of entire works currently still known as films, books or musical albums. Publishing on the internet, the legal aspects. That is the subject on which I will elaborate in this section of the conference. No longer can internet claim to be the realm of information anarchy, or so it seems.

Billboarding sega - games? Surely, there's no crime in that, you may say. Well, what if these were illegal copies? More and more users realize that the uploading of a copy of a work protected by copyright may not be much different from offering the same copy to someone on a carrier, which could constitute an act of infringement of such right. Interested? You can hear all about it at the conference.
