ISHTIP

International Society for the History and Theory of Intellectual Property

9th Annual Workshop

CILP & the Faculty of Information, University of Toronto, Canada

July 12-14, 2017

‘Intellectual Property as Circulation and Control’

This year’s workshop will seek to explore all aspects of the circulation/control dilemma from historical and/or contemporary perspectives.  Modalities of control that might be considered include:  licensing practices; distribution and business models; collectivization; cultural appropriation; authors, inventors and ownership; criminal provisions; international trade agreements; technological means of control such as technological protection measures, anti-circumvention laws, search engines and aggregators; surveillance and policing by law enforcement agencies, ISPs, trolls; and organized resistance to corporate control by users and pirate movements.

Other hotels in the area: (We have used the Park Hyatt before: it receives excellent reviews. We have not used the Marriott or the Howard Johnson, but they are also close to the law school. The Marriott is a newer, higher-priced option; the HJ is an older, lower-priced option.)
