>                          Call for Papers: 'copy'
>                Edited by Rachel Cobcroft and Susanna Leisten
>
> Embracing emulations, imitations, and attendant questions of  
> authenticity,
> 'copy' confronts the divide between 'original' and its replica: the  
> fake,
> the forged, the fabricated, alongside the legally duplicated and  
> faithfully
> reproduced. In no small way, the modern economy relies on the process  
> of
> 'copy': mass production works according to templates, making use of
> licencing under patent agreements ('For a fee, you may copy this').
> Creators often copy the latest trends, and design often emulates  
> accepted
> norms. But are we allowed to 'rip, mix, and share' at will? In  
> exploiting
> and examining this commodification, where Campbell's soup tins become
> icons, is 'fair use' enough? Does fidelity to the original remain the
> marker of quality and respect?
>
> The distribution of Intellectual Property - music, games, graphics,  
> text -
> is increasingly facilitated by current technologies, and most markedly  
> in
> the digital realm. Copyright legislation challenges the owners of  
> iPods,
> video recorders, and analogue tape decks to abide by what is often  
> seen as
> archaic law. We ask: Has the balance between the interests of
> creators/producers and the public evolved beyond recognition from that
> intended by original IPR policy makers? What are the alternatives to  
> the
> current regimes? In contrast to the 'locked down' environment, where
> Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies are positioned, does the
> Creative Commons work to invite 'copy' and reuse? Is it the user or  
> creator
> who ultimately benefits from the process of 'copy'? Moreover, are we
> challenging the cultural and philosophical underpinnings of the  
> process of
> 'copy'? Has 'copying' obtained unfairly negative connotations,  
> particularly
> since it is genetically encoded into us and influences how all infants
> learn and adapt?
>
> We invite contributions to all aspects of 'copy' from creators,  
> consumers,
> legislators, and critics. Send 1000-1500 word articles to
> copy at journal.media-culture.org.au.
