Copyright & Commerce (Part 1 - Marybeth Peters)

On Monday, May 9, Copyright Clearance Center traveled to Washington, D.C. and the Newseum's Knight Studio for a lively and fascinating discussion on "Copyright and Commerce."

First to speak with CCC's Chris Kenneally was Marybeth Peters, U.S. Register of Copyrights, 1994 to 2010. "If you're a member of Congress today, members identify with authors, they identify with publishers, but they also identify with their constituents and with consumers, with electronics companies and technology companies. They have a lot of people who are in front of them trying to tell them what is the best way to move forward with the copyright law."
