[Julia Brungs]

Dear all,

 


The outcomes of the Workshop 130 'Digital Inclusion and Public Access to
the Internet', held by IFLA, EIFL and ISOC, yesterday 6th November in
Baku, are now available
<http://www.ifla.org/news/igf-baku-workshop-130-outcomes-digital-inclusi
on-and-public-access-to-the-internet> . The workshop was a great success
and discussed issues such as what policymakers need to fulfill digital
inclusion objectives and how can libraries and other community services
can help them. 


 


Furthermore, tomorrow the workshop on 'Intellectual property rights and
the freedom to share: are the two compatible?' (8th November, Workshop
146) will take place in Baku. 


This workshop will focus on the tensions between intellectual property
rights and the freedom to share. It will interrogate such questions as:
Is the classical conceptualization of copyright reconcilable with the
practices of online culture of sharing? Are the classical copyright
enforcement tools adequate or efficient for copyright protection online?
What are the ways content creators can thrive in online environment?
What unintended consequences can strong enforcement of classical
copyright thinking have for creativity online? What can those mean for
the entrepreneurial communities, particularly in the developing
countries? How do young people actually use file sharing websites,
peer-to-peer exchanges, and social media? How do we respect people's
right to profit from their intellectual property while preserving the
openness, creativity, and innovation of the Internet?
