The program includes presentations from scholars from the University of Oxford and the London School of Economics.

Dates:

The program will be held this year: August 5 - 9, 2013.

The course begins with a broad overview of different copyright models, comparing Anglo-American, European and Israeli approaches. Subjects then discussed, with students' active participation, include the development of open source software and creative works, the digitilization of works, internet architecture, and moral rights.
