Recreate ZA, in partnership with Wits Library, Wiser, UCT IP Unit and the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property will be hosting a series of panel discussions on the 7th and 8th of August, at Wits and UCT respectively, titled: Decolonizing Copyright, Building our Creative & Information Economy.
At this event, a number of development scholars and experts, including Ruth Okediji, Adam Habib, Justice Zak Yacoob, Tshilidzi Marwala and many others will be engaging on how the signing and implementation Copyright Amendment Bill could positively affect the economy, and how it could lead to growth emanating from South Africa’s creative, research and education sectors, as well as reductions in costs for students and learning institutions.
These discussions will place a heavy focus on local industrialization opportunities, and creating jobs as a result of overhauling our currently antiquated copyright law.
We hope to have these session webcast, but information on how to access that will be forthcoming or might only be available on demand.
The meetings will take place:
