TATTOOS Fleshing Out Copyright Law
The recent publicity surrounding the tattoo design on Mike Tyson’s face and the alleged infringement within the film, The Hangover Part II, brings forth many questions: Can a tattoo be copyrighted? Is a person’s flesh a tangible medium of expression? Who owns the rights to the tattoo once it has been inked? These questions and more are left unanswered by the Copyright Act. Therefore, how should the courts judge the validity of tattoo infringement claims? More importantly, how can an attorney predict how the courts will act? The goal of this event is to flesh out these issues and more.

PACER, RECAP, and Free Law
New York Law School
Tuesday, February 15, 2011
The RECAP project takes the movement surrounding using the Internet to foster greater government transparency to the judicial branch. Today, the U.S. government puts federal court records online in a system called PACER: Public Access to Electronic Court Records. PACER keeps documents behind a pay-wall and suffers many usability shortcomings. Fortunately, these public documents are not eligible for copyright, so once a document has been retrieved from PACER, it may be freely shared and reproduced. RECAP enables citizens to easily share federal court documents. The goal of this project is to publish an extensive archive to the public for free.

Copyright Exceptions for the Visually Impaired and Print Disabled: International Initiatives to Increase Access to Knowledge
New York Law School
Tuesday, March 16, 2010
The visually impaired and print disabled experience widespread barriers in their efforts to gain access to knowledge.
