We are pleased to announce the launch of a new book by IP:KCE current and former researchers and our Chinese partners. “Copyright law, digital content and the Internet in the Asia-Pacific” (Editors: Brian Fitzgerald, Fuping Gao, Damien O’Brien and Sampsung Xiaoxiang Shi) provides a unique insight into the key issues facing copyright law and digital content policy in a networked information world. It emanates from a landmark conference - The First International Forum on the Content Industry and Intellectual Property - organised by Queensland University of Technology (QUT), The ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCi) and East China University of Political Science and Law (ECUPL) in Shanghai in 2007.
The book features chapters from a wide range of experts in their respective fields from across the Asia-Pacific region, including Australia, the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Singapore. Some of the areas examined include the new digital environment, digital content policy, the networked information economy, copyright law and new media. The book provides a timely and scholarly appraisal of the legal and policy considerations facing anyone trying to regulate, sponsor or utilise the vast array of new media and content platforms now available.
The official book launch by Justice James Douglas will take place on Monday 16 June 2008 at 6pm in the Owen J Wordsworth Room Level 12, S Block QUT Gardens Point Campus. To RSVP email t.butkovsky@qut.edu.au or telephone 07 3138 9524.
The book is published by Sydney University Press and can be purchased from their website.
