The Centre for Innovation Law and Policy is pleased to present Paul Hoffert, Professor of Music, Law, and Information Science at University of Toronto and Chair of the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund. Author, innovator, educator, composer and recording artist, Paul Hoffert will tell us about the promise and pitfalls of using computer technology to answer one of copyright law’s most difficult questions: when does one work infringe another? Are computers smart enough to draw the line between permissible similarity and infringement, or are the lines too blurred for a mere machine to evaluate?
