Berkeley, CA

Cosponsored by the High Tech Law Institute and

the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology

2010 marks the three-hundredth anniversary of the Statute of Anne, the first modern copyright law, and provides a suitable occasion for looking back at the influence of this law on the history and evolution of copyright in the Anglo-American tradition and for looking forward at what lessons we can learn from this history that might better help us surmount the challenges that lie ahead for copyright in the twenty-first century.

At this two-day conference on April 9-10, 2010, an outstanding set of scholars and other experts from various disciplines will explore the past and future of copyright.
