In association with the College Art Association's Committee on 
Intellectual Property, NINCH presents its 21st Copyright Town Meeting 
as part of the 2003 College Art Association Annual Conference.

The advantages of digital publishing online seem clear to many 
authors, largely because of the potential for reaching wide and often 
new audiences. However, owners of images and many publishers are not 
so convinced about the benefits of moving online and some fear losing 
economic control of their copyrighted material.

This NINCH Copyright Town Meeting will survey the rights challenges 
of publishing art history and art criticism online. The impact of the 
TEACH Act (Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization Act) on 
digital publishing will also be discussed as Distance Education 
products fit well within the spectrum that includes both traditional 
publishing and class-room teaching.

The meeting brings together authors, publishers, museum 
administrators, legal counsel, and culture and media historians to 
discuss their experiences and provide their advice for moving 
forward. As with all NINCH Copyright Town Meetings, the audience is 
encouraged to participate and ample time is reserved for that purpose.


Featured speakers:

*  Petra Chu, Professor of Art, Seton Hall University; Founding 
Managing Editor, Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide
*  Susan Chun, General Manager for Electronic Information Planning, 
Metropolitan Museum of Art
*  Robert Clarida, Partner, Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman, P.C.
*  Kenneth Crews, Professor of Law, Indiana University and Director, 
Indiana University Copyright Management Center
*  Jeffrey Cunard, Partner, Debevoise & Plimpton; CAA Legal Counsel
*  Christine Sundt, Visual Resources Curator and Professor of Art, 
University of Oregon
*  Peter Trippi, Executive Editor, Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide
*  Siva Vaidhyanathan, Assistant Professor of Culture and 
Communication, New York University

This program is related to two other publishing programs at the CAA 
conference: "Problems of Publishing for Tenure in the Arts and Art 
History," (Friday, February 21, noon-1:30 p.m); and "Clearing Rights 
and Permissions: How To, Why To, When To," (Saturday, February 22, 
12:30-2:00 p.m).  For further details, see 
http://www.studiolo.org/IP/2003NYTM/index.htm and

The NINCH Copyright Town Meetings seek to balance expert opinion and 
audience participation on the basics of copyright law, the 
implications of copyright online, recent changes in copyright law and 
practice, and practical issues related to the networking of cultural 
heritage materials. The program will include plenty of time for 
audience questions, comments and discussion. For information on all 
NINCH Copyright Town meetings, see http://www.ninch.org/copyright/.

NINCH expresses its gratitude to Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman, P.C.
