This interactive event offers the opportunity for discussion on evidence for copyright policy between social scientists, policy\u2013makers and producers and users of copyright works. Copyright law is a topical and contentious area that affects a wide range of stakeholders with differing views on copyright policy. The need for evidence\u2013based policy on copyright policy was emphasised in the Hargreaves Review and has led to several calls for evidence from stakeholders. The responses they provide to the Intellectual Property Office are varied in nature and quality; the\u00a0IPO has responded by proposing guidelines on what constitutes acceptable evidence<\/a>: ‘that it be clear, verifiable and able to be peer-reviewed’ (which itself is contested).<\/p>\n

Besides being a matter of pressing public concern, copyright also attracts the interest of a broad range of social science disciplines each with its own rules of evidence. The emphasis on economic growth as the objective of copyright policy has shifted the need for evidence in the direction of economics but economic evidence is not always easily available. Nor it is the case that only quantitative evidence is regarded as valid.<\/p>\n

The event, which is part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science, will take the form of panel and round table discussions between policy\u2013makers from the Intellectual Property Office (IPO), stakeholders from the creative industries and academics from economics, sociology, law and cultural studies with expertise in copyright. The focus is on what evidence from these fields of study is relevant and useful to policy\u2013makers and those seeking to put their case to them. The event is open to members of the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
