SUMMARY:Authorship\, Appropriation\, and the Fluid Text: Versions of the Law
DESCRIPTION:A fluid text is any work that exists in multiple versions. What are the ethics and legality in the creation\, sharing\, and ownership of textual versions? What are the boundaries of textual appropriation? How does technology abet appropriation; how might it assist in the useful designation of boundaries? Is the law keeping up? \nHofstra University professor John Bryant explores the larger applications of the notion of fluid text to culture\, and in particular identity formation in a multicultural democracy. Wendy Seltzer is a Fellow at Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society and is a visiting professor at American University. She founded and leads the Chilling Effects Clearinghouse\, helping Internet users to understand their rights in response to cease-and-desist threats\, and to research the effects of these threats on free expression.
