Many ideas for Internet-based production, operation and communication models venture into uncharted territory not only technically but also legally. To delight in music, films or software in the 21st century is a difficult undertaking. Lawmakers confound consumers with first and then second packets of amendments, lobby associations for the entertainment industry threaten in their campaigns with handcuffs and prison sentences, while in the case of so-called digital rights management (DRM), every provider does his own thing. The workshop by iRights.info provides orientation aids through this jungle, which often enough presents a conundrum even for lawyers themselves, and strives to respond to concrete problems and practical questions. Best suitable for professionals.
