Unlocking the Secret: How Blanket Licensing Could Revolutionize Generative AI—and What It Means for You
Now Copyright + Technology is exclusively an annual conference. We discuss the technologies, the laws and policies that they are meant to implement, the litigations that define their boundaries and applicabilities, and the business models that they enable. We invite all types of stakeholders, we aim for balance, and we avoid polemics. And we endeavor to get speakers who are at the front lines of developments in the most impactful areas in which copyright and technology rub up against each other. Through the eras of DRM, user-generated content, watermarking, content recognition, streaming, cloud computing, blockchain, and now AI (not to mention SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, BRR, GRD, MMA, HADOPI, UK Copyright Hub, EU Article 17, etc., etc.), there has been plenty to talk about. Thanks to the Copyright Society’s involvement, and that of the Fordham IP Institute, the Copyright + Technology conference has flourished over the past several years. This next step in its evolution is one that I’m particularly proud of: Prof. Elizabeth Townsend Gard has deemed the proceedings of 2024’s conference worthy of inclusion in the scholarly record of which she is now the steward. You hold the result in your hands.
