NYC Anarchist Book Fair 2011
Compensation, Access, and Theft: Copyright in the 21st Century - presented by Radical Reference
9 April 2011
Judson Memorial Church

The panelists will be asked to consider the following questions: How can authors/illustrators be fairly compensated for their work, particularly by radical publishers? How can the above be accomplished while also maintaining broad access to authorsâ/illustratorsâ work? How does current copyright law work with and against what youâre trying to do (whether youâre an author, a publisher, or a librarian)? How should digital versions/editions of work be treated?
