8:15 – 9:00 am  Panel III: Intermediary Copyright Liability

Content — movies, music, books, etc. — flourishes on the Internet. Yet the technologies that make this possible also allow for nearly costless copying, threatening the interests of rights holders. Governments have taken the lead in addressing these issues, but more recently rights holders have looked to private enforcement mechanisms such as the copyright alert system. What lessons, if any, should China and the U.S. learn from the other’s experience?

310:45 – 12:15 pm Panel IV Virtual Items

Who owns virtual items? To what extent do the Terms of Service of a site operator or an app provider limit a user’s “ownership” of items? A combination of property, intellectual property, and contract laws has been used to regulate the ownership and exchange of these virtual “goods” thus far. In this panel, we explore the tensions that may arise between these doctrines as the markets in China and the United States evolve and increasingly overlap.
