Wer beim EU XXL Forum vom 12. bis 14. Juni in Wien ist, kann dort gleich weitere Veranstaltungen anschließen: Das World-Information Institute lädt am 14. und 15. Juni zur Konferenz „Shared Digital Futures“, die die Auswirkungen digitaler Technologien auf kulturelles Schaffen untersucht.
Aus der Ankündigung:
The popular resistance against ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) in early 2012 showed that current attempts to support established business models in culture have reached an impasse. Simply expanding copyright legislation and enforcement is not only not working, but also politically no longer viable. This has led to a number of outcries by authors and publishers who see the basis of Western culture threatened, but relatively little in terms of new ideas and approaches how to adapt to the changing times. Is there simply a change from old monopolies, based on copyright, financing and distribution, to new monopolies, based on access, intelligent filtering and interactivity?
