A Conference on the moral rights of authors, sponsored by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), and with the participation of the United States Copyright Office, held at Glasgow University on Friday, March 31st and Saturday, April 1st, 2017.
This conference was a follow-up event to an earlier Symposium held by the U.S. Copyright Office in 2016, as part of its public study on the moral rights of authors.
The goals of the Glasgow conference were to expand upon knowledge-gathering efforts at the U.S. Copyright Office by bringing together international experts on moral rights who would examine the treatment of these rights in different jurisdictions, seek to determine what lessons can be drawn from international experience of these rights for future policy-making and law reform efforts, explore the significance of moral rights for those engaged in the creative professions, and evaluate the relevance of moral rights in the technological context.
