PRESS RELEASE

Symposium on Digital Copyright

The public debate in New Zealand around section 92A of the Copyright Act and the role of Internet service providers in terminating the accounts of repeat infringers of copyright has raised important questions about the enforcement of copyright law in the digital environment. The New Zealand Government is considering public submissions on a proposed replacement for section 92A and issues arising from digital copyright are also being considered by governments overseas.

Henry Hughes is proud to be sponsoring a symposium presented by the New Zealand Centre of International Economic Law entitled “The Copyright Future: Authors, Owners, Orphans, Users and Repeat Infringers”.

Date: Friday 30 October 2009

Time: 9:00am – 2.00pm

Location: Spectrum Theatre, Corner Customhouse Quay & Johnston Street, Wellington
