April 10, 2008 - The national election is just months away and, regardless of which party wins, there will be a new administration in the White House and perhaps shifts in the balance of political power on Capitol Hill. Should that new administration move away from the Bush administration strategy for combating terrorism both here and abroad, or should it keep the one used for the last several years? In charting the course for a new administration, many different aspects of national power must be considered, from the traditional use of military force as in Iraq and Afghanistan, to acquiring intelligence, and even to shaping our foreign policy to ensure maximum protection against further terrorist attacks in this country or against our interests overseas. Through a series of panel discussions, the conference will examine a number of specific issues with regard to shaping our counterterrorism policy for the next four years and beyond: the accountability of military contractors accompanying military forces on the battlefield; proposals for reform of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act; the international component of combating terrorism, including formulation of our foreign policy and how we can best ensure integrated global cooperation; the problems in successfully prosecuting terrorism cases in our federal courts and the very controversial use of extraordinary rendition; and, the ethical considerations in rendering legal advice to policymakers in the war on terrorism. Three keynote addresses during the conference will focus on specific, current issues within the overall context of combating terrorism. The conference brings together a prestigious group of scholars, policymakers, and commentators who will take an interdisciplinary approach to all these issues from both a legal and a policy perspective.

- Copyright Liberties
Webcast | MP3 Download
March 30, 2007 - Information Ecology Lecture Series with Professor Jessica Litman
In this talk, Professor Litman challenges the conventional paradigm of copyright statutory interpretation, under which unlicensed uses of copyrighted works are deemed infringing unless excused.That rubric was never accurate, she argues, and relying on it has distorted our thinking.In particular, it has encouraged us to give short shrift to the core importance in the copyright scheme of reading, listening, viewing, watching, playing and using copyrighted works. For most of its history, copyright law was designed to maximize the opportunities for non-exploitative enjoyment of copyrighted works in order to encourage reading, listening, watching and their cousins.Litman terms the freedom to engage in those activities "copyright liberties", and argues that they are both deeply embedded in copyright's design and crucial to its promotion of the Progress of Science.
Litman is a Professor at the University of Michigan Law School, where she teaches copyright law, Internet law, and trademarks and unfair competition. She is the author of the influential book Digital Copyright, and the coauthor with Jane Ginsburg and Mary Lou Kevlin of a casebook on Trademarks and Unfair Competition Law. - 2007 Robinson O.
