From: "Hansen, Dave" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2012 22:23:10 +0000 I thought some of you may be interested in this conference, organized by James Grimmelmann (New York Law School) and held on October 26 and 27 in New York: http://laboratorium.net/archive/2012/07/30/in_re_books From the description: “It will feature a wide-ranging conversation among authors, publishers, librarians, readers, and scholars about how law inflects all aspects of the creation, distribution, and consumption of books—and how these laws should change as the digital transition upends publishing. There will be panels devoted to electronic rights, the publishing industry, the future of libraries, readers’ rights, orphan books and mass digitization, and the long view on the history and future of books.” David R.
