New Media Rights at the National Conference for Media Reform

Update: We have audio of the NMRC session, available here: http://ow.ly/4Dzn6

We are looking forward to the National Media Reform Conference this weekend in Boston, MA. We are very excited to communicate and share with media creators, remix artists, media justice advocates, media literacy educators, media policy experts and thought leaders in media reform. We look forward to sharing the work we have done offering free legal resources and fighting to improve and modernize media policy.

We hope if you are going to be in Boston, MA you will come say hello to us, but if you can't make it there are great ways you can be involved from your computer at home.

Art will be on the panel Copyright, Copyleft, CopyCenter: Can Copyright and Remix Culture Co-exist?
Saturday, April 9, 9:00am - 10:30am EST

Hear from creators, activists and academics who are trying to find ways to make copyright work for artists. We'll discuss topics like fair use, DMCA takedown notices and sampling. Listen to artists whose work relies on their ability to reuse and comment on existing, copyrighted materials. We'll also discuss the ways that copyright is shaping and limiting the ways that musicians, poets, authors and video artists are creating new work today. Can modern remix culture and copyright co-exist? Come watch our panel of experts as they attempt to answer that question.

Update: Listen to the audio from the panel.
