Asian Edition: A Conference on Media Piracy and Intellectual Property in South East Asia on November 24 (Goethe Institute & UP Film Institute)

ASIAN EDITION

A Conference on Media Piracy and Intellectual Property in South East
Asia
Sponsored by the Goethe Institute, Manila, and the UP Film Institute

Date: November 24, 2006, 9:00 am ­ 5:00 pm, UP Film Institute,
University of the Philippines, Diliman, Metro Manila, CMC Auditorium

Many Filipinos still remember the "Asian Edition" - a scheme during
the Marcos years, when American textbooks were reprinted locally and
without paying royalties to the original publishers. Now, "Asian
Edition" serves as title for a conference that will look at the
phenomenon of media piracy in South East Asia today. Music, movie and
software piracy is one of the most prominent media issues of the
digital millennium. In the Philippines it has started a whole
underground economy and currently seems to change the way movies and
other media products are distributed and consumed products here and
in other South East Asian countries.

The goal of the workshop is to contribute to an informed discussion
of media piracy and issues of Intellectual Property in the age of
digital reproduction. Instead of portraying piracy exclusively as a
crime against artists and distributors, the proposed workshop will
look at piracy as a social, cultural and economic phenomenon. And it
will discuss new concepts of addressing ownership of Intellectual
Property, such as Creative Commons and Open Source.

Dr. Tilman Baumgärtel, Visiting Professor at the University of the
Philippines, organizes the conference.


Confirmed participants include:
Raymond Red, film director, Manila
Cornelia Sollfrank, artist, Hamburg
Raul Pertierra, sociologist, Manila
Rolando Tolentino, National University Singapore
Volker Grassmuck, writer, Berlin
Khavn de la Cruz, film director, Manila

The conference is free and open to the public.
