User-Generated Content, Copyright Policy, and Blockheaded Authors

by Tom W. Bell on November 2, 2007 · Comments

Tomorrow, at Vanderbilt Law School, I’ll join a panel discussion on The Future of Copyright, part of the Journal of Entertainment and Technology Law’s symposium, User-Generated Confusion: The Legal and Business Implications of Web 2.0. My presentation: User-Generated Content, Copyright Policy, and Blockheaded Authors. Rest assured that, though I deploy such phrases as “seizing the means of reproduction” and “the specter of copyism,” that says more about my love of wordplay than it does anything about Marxism. You can download the PowerPoint file here.

  • I hope that your presentation went well. I liked the phrase "Technological advances have allowed copyright users to “seize the means of reproduction” (as we might say in echo of Marx)." I appreciate what you write, but I have not been able to keep up with it.
