Copyright affects us all as we are all authors nowadays. At the same time few artists know how to work without infringing copyright. Various customs evolve, but they rarely have anything in common with black letter copyright law. This year, at CopyCamp Antonio Roberts will tell us more about such customs.

Maksym Naumko will tell us at CopyCamp 2017 about challenges for digitisation projects in a state where there is no freedom of panorama and decommunization laws require that remains of the previous regime are removed. Next week! Register: http://copycamp.pl/en/

When we buy something, what does it mean exactly? This year at CopyCamp, Aaron Perzanowski (co-author, The End of Ownership) will tell us about property in the digital world. Register: http://copycamp.pl

To replace composers with computers take a musical archive and a learning algorithm. A program that implements the algorithm will create a model of a digital composer, who in turn will compose own music. How many such composers will fit into your laptop’s hard drive? Join us at CopyCamp where Nick Briz will tell us more about using machine learning in music.

We have just updated the list of our CopyCamp workshops with one more meeting. It will be about researching the impact of expanding user rights in copyright. The workshop will be conducted by: Teresa Nobre (Communia), Paul Keller (Kennisland), and Sean Flynn (American University Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property).

Defending freedom of the internet can be absorbing to a degree that threatens individuals’ health or even life. Jérémie Zimmermann, co-founder of Hacking with Care will appear at CopyCamp and will also conduct a workshop on techniques that help to deal with the resulting personal issues.

Apart from a presentation, they will also conduct a workshop. Join it if you are interested how modern museums work.
