Filmed at NYU School of Law on September 23, this panel asks whether copyright has lost one of its principle functions: to protect authors and original ideas. In the digital age, does copyright have a purpose beyond protecting corporations from illegal copying and file sharing? The panel featured:

• Jörg Tittel, author of the recently released Ricky Rouse Has a Gun
• Charles Brownstein, Executive Director, Comic Book Legal Defense Fund
• Christopher Sprigman, Professor of Law, Author of The Knockoff Economy
• Barton Beebe, John M. Desmarais Professor of Intellectual Property Law

An interesting discussion and well worth watching for anyone in the comic industry.
