Committee on Intellectual Property
CIP-sponsored Session on VARA at the 2002 Annual Conference
Description:
The Committee on Intellectual Property monitors and interprets copyright legislation for the benefit of CAA's various constituencies. In so doing, it seeks to offer educational programs and opportunities for discussion and debate in response to copyright legislation that effects educators, scholars, museum professionals, and artists.
Recent Projects:
The Intellectual Property Committee has been working to inform the membership on issues concerning new copyright legislation. In 1999 the committee filed a statement on distance education with the copyright office and has contributed to the discussion on CONFU. As part of the National Initiative for Networked Cultural Heritage planning committee, for the last three years, the committee has worked on NINCH's Town Hall meeting and co-sponsored a Town Hall Meeting at the New York annual conference that addressed issues concerning faculty and publishers rights.
