Own-it North Events: Free Intellectual Property EventsOwn-it North organises regular events and workshops covering IP issues for creative people. The majority of our events are free. You must register with us in order to make a booking. Waiting list - Own-it North operates a waiting list for events, so, if you go to reserve a place and the event is showing as fully booked, simply email ownitnorth@own-it.org with the name of the event in the subject line and ask to be added. We are happy to supply sign language interpreters for Own-it North talks, but you must allow us at least 15 working days to organise this, and you must specify the type of interpretation needed (such as British Sign Language.) Trading Online
Date: Tuesday 2 December 2008 Location: Many creative businesses now have their own website and are exploring the potential of e-commerce. What should you be aware of when conducting business online? Booking: Nollywood - Great Films, Big Business but no Rights?
Date: Wednesday 3 December 2008 Location: Nollywood is a great success story. Digital technology has enabled inventive film makers and producers to create a very strong film industry in Nigeria that tells the stories of African everyday life and concerns. The films are popular at home and with the wide African diaspora and reach their viewers via the internet. The result is a multi-million dollar industry that can rival Hollywood or Bollywood in terms of popularity and output. But whilst digital technology has enabled film makers to thrive, the industry is losing big money through widespread piracy. Our panel of African film makers, a producer and a legal expert will discuss what Nigerian legislation can do to protect the industry and how film makers can exploit their IP through smart rights management including licensing. Booking: How not to get ripped off: Enforcing and Protecting Your Intellectual Property
Date: Tuesday 9 December 2008 Location: Being copied and someone else ripping off your creative ideas is a major concern once you start to sell, publicise and promote your creative work. You need to protect your ideas and make sure you know what to do if someone does actually copy or makes money from work that is rightfully yours. Booking: Cut, Paste, Mix, Sample - New Ways of Sharing IP with Creative Commons
Date: Tuesday 16 December 2008 Location: Creative Commons is a new way of sharing ideas and creative material without losing control of your copyright. It provides a perfect solution for a generation of creative people that use the material found online to develop new music, writing, films and visual art. But how does it work, and how can Creative Commons be used to protect and at the same time share your creative work. Does Creative Commons allow for exploiting your own ideas and who owns copyright in something that is remixed, sampled or collated from other people’s work obtained under Creative Commons. And last but not least, how can Creative Commons be adapted to make money with such work? Booking: |
