Conference presentations available at: http://copycamp.pl/en/ The 6th CopyCamp took place in Warsaw on September 28th and 29th under the title „the Internet of Copyrighted Things”. This year we gathered 60 guests from 21 countries who shared their stories touching on real-life issues in culture, science, education, medicine and agriculture. Among our special guests was Ms. Julia Reda, Member of the European Parliament and a representative of the Pirate Party. In her speech about the current EU copyright reform, Ms. Reda complemented some of its parts, but also expressed her concern about the proposal of “linking tax” and the filtering obligation. Some of the other presentations that received much interest and were widely commented among our audience were delivered by Ariele Elia (Fashion Institute of Technology, NY) and Aaron Perzanowski (Case Western Reserve University School of Law). We are particularly proud that at CopyCamp 2017 we have gathered a considerable group of German experts including: Jan Kottmann (Google Germany), Kiki Ganzemüller (YouTube), Mirko Boehm (Open Invention Network), Till Jaeger (ifrOSS), and Till Kreutzer (iRights.Lab). We also had a strong representation of the Berlin-based Free Software Foundation Europe: Polina Malaja, Erik da Silva, Carmen Bianca. This allowed us to exchange ideas about copyright-related issues common for our countries – including especially the current EU copyright reform and public procurement of IT systems. The Polish-German cooperation at CopyCamp would not happen without the help of the funds of the German Federal Foreign Office transferred by the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation. We want to thank all the speakers and attendees, as well as our whole team without whom the success of the conference would have been impossible. We also wish to express our gratitude to our partners: the German Foreign Office and the Foundation for Polish-German cooperation, Google, ZIPSEE Digital Poland, Mozilla, EDRi, OpenForum Europe, Open Knowledge, Creative Commons, Communia, ifrOSS, Free Software Foundation Europe, Iuridicum Remedium, Trnava University and Asimov Foundation. We thank Ms. Anna Streżyńska, the Minister of Digital Affairs and Ms. Alicja Adamczak, the President of the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland for granting their honorary patronages to CopyCamp. We also thank our media patrons: Dziennik Internautów, Linux Magazin, Notes na 6 tygodni and Netzpolitik.org Free Art License 1.3

4. Appropriation: taking or using things
from a culture that is not your own,
especially without showing that you
understand or respect that culture.
(Cambridge Dictionary)
In fashion, it may lead to racist gener-
alizations or stereotypes regarding its
origin, even when some regard it as high
fashion, cool or funny.
Giving cash or showing some pictures is
not enough to honour the cultures and
values which stand as inspiration for
fashion design.

THE END OF OWNERSHIPWATCHTHEWHOLEPRESENTATION:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDf8-uGc3d0
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO OWN SOMETHING IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY?
In the digital environment there is no
tangible copy and this fact allows the
right holders to control how we use
information goods in ways impossible
before, when we could resell and borrow
books without them even noticing.
The legal system struggles with how to
deal with the new ways of consumption
of copyrighted works, when goods
are disembodied from any physical
instantiation.

IN THE AGE OF MACHINE LEARNING
Algorithms can reap the metadata of any
selected beat, extracting the pattern of
the beat and then reproducing the same
beats with different sounds. But we
should not mistake robots for authors.
Rather, focus on obstacles that copy-
right poses for those who would like to
explore this new tool and teach it using
preexisting works (“Perspective on ‘Crea-
tive’ AI” blogpost http://brangerbriz.com/

• But who has authority to give
that authority?
• FLOSS community is averse to
authority and delegated

• “A little dictatorship” usually

The seed industry sees a monopoly of
a few companies, and an increasing
number of seed types are protected
under patents and by trade secrets.
once seeds are patented they can no
longer be widely and easily used for a
certain period of time. This had led to
a proposal in 1999 for Germplasm to
be shared on the basis of GPL licensing
terms - a pledge to use seeds as one
chooses, without restricting others’ use
of those seeds or their derivatives by
patents or other means, and to include
this pledge with any transfer of these
seeds or their derivatives.

RAISE

LOCALLY
In the proposal for a Copyright Directive
which is now under negotiation, there
are some good elements, but also bad
parts. Upload filters and the laws for
sharing links to news content have chill-
ing effects on online participants, and
undermine what makes Internet
so unique.
