For those in the NYC area:
---------- Forwarded message ---------- The Kernochan Center for Law, Media and the Arts at Columbia Law School is holding a symposium on Friday, Oct. 10, 2014. The title of the symposium is Creation is Not Its Own Reward: Making Copyright Work for Artists and Performers. In light of the ongoing review of the Copyright Act , we?ve invited individual creators as well as creators? representatives in various fields to talk about what authors, artists and performers need from the copyright law. We?ll also have panels from industry, academia and government. To start the day, we?ll hear from two authors who make their living from writing: TJ Stiles, who won a National Book Award and a Pulitzer Prize for his book The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Doug Wright, who won the Pulitzer Prize for his play I Am My Own Wife. You can go to the Kernochan Center website, http://www.law.columbia.edu/kernochan to look at the full program and to register. We hope to see you there! Best, June June M. Besek, Esq.
