"Image Ownership and Usage in the Digital Age"

Panel Discussion
"Image Ownership and Usage in the Digital Age"
Wednesday, December 6, 2006 - 7:00 p.m.
The New School, Tishman Auditorium 66 West 12th Street

Part of the Aperture Foundation Lectures “Confounding Expectations IV: Photography in Context,” this panel explores some of the ins and outs of U.S law pertaining the image ownership in a digital age, from the perspective of a lawyer, estate executor, and stock agency. What constitutes “free use”? How does freedom of expression dovetail with an artist’s protection of his or her work? Are images more available today or less? As a practical matter, how does one enforce copyright law?

Panelists:
Richard Ellis, Senior Vice President of Business Development, Getty Images
Barbara Hoffman, arts, entertainment and intellectual property lawyer

Moderator:
Michelle Bogre: Associate Professor and Chair, Photography Department, Parsons The New School for Design, writer and photographer

Presented in collaboration with the Aperture Foundation and Parsons The New School for Design, on occasion of the Vera List Center's thematic cycle on "The Public Domain." With generous support from the Kettering Family Foundation and the Henry Nias Foundation, this program is also made possible, in part, by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
