New! Copyleft and Art -Is there a resistance or strategy?
More and more art today is created from remixed or mashed-up digital content such as photo, animation, moving image and music. Nowadays, copyright is an issue for everyone who writes blogs on the internet, is a member of SNS groups such as mixi, facebook and my space, or a user of sites such as flickr, YouTube, NikoNiko Doga and so on.
In the meantime, enhancement of copyright law is a fashion. Lengthening the terms of copyright in Japan is now under discussion.
Intellectual property is important financial resource especially in the west - the US and Europe already have a longer period of copyright. This development may choke a new circulation of creativity. On the other hand, copyright is critical for professional artists.
Copyleft is sometimes misunderstood as being totally against
copyright. Copyleft is rather an attempt to protect the exclusive right of creators while also nurturing emerging creativity.
We would like to go back to the original ideas of Richard Stallman, and to start a discussion between experts and the audience.
-Is copyleft a resistance or can it be a strategy?
-Can we apply copyleft to works of Art, not just software?
-How does copyleft, and the idea of a 'creative commons', help?
-What do those artists who show and distribute their work on
the internet think? Is it effective for their career?
-What is the difference between Public Domain and Copyleft?
