The Metes and Bounds of Culture: Transnational Licensing Issues in CyberspaceMichael Shapiro, Art Museum Image Consortium, USA Subsidiary
Session: Museum Applications: Intellectual Property
The communication of information over digital networks is indifferent
to national borders. But the protection and enforcement of copyright
traditionally has been territorial. While the tension between the doctrine
of territoriality and the ubiquity of cyberspace may be resolved someday
through international treaty negotiations, business and non-profit groups
are not waiting. Focusing on near-term, practical solutions, Michael
Shapiro examines the evolving structure and key provisions of the modern
information licensing agreement, including choice of law, choice of
forum, and international arbitration clauses. |
