Inspiration, Innovation, or Infringement: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Piracy and Copyright - Emmanuel College

This is a conference with what looks like some workshops led by Professor Lionel Bently (Cambridge), Dr Jennifer Davis (Cambridge) and Professor Jane Ginsburg (Columbia Law School).

From the site (emphasis mine):

An interdisciplinary conference for invited scholars from a variety of disciplines to consider piracy and copyright infringement from the perspectives of their fields. Several lines of inquiry will be pursued: piracy and moral opprobrium; appropriation of “expressions” (as opposed to “ideas”); justifications for appropriation of expression (fair use; fair dealing). The fields represented include literature, music, history of the book, criminology, anthropology, information technology, comparative law, legal history, linguistics, and economics. Each non lawyer presenter will be paired with a legal commentator.
