I've been very interested in learning more about Intellectual Property lately. Well, this is mainly because I've read several materials about IP as well as attended conferences and events on IP in order to come up with news releases for the IP-Philippines Office. And probably also because RSR was the author of the IP Law.
With this interest in IP, I'm thinking to have an aspect of IP as a topic for my thesis (if ever I decide to continue my Master's and not shift to another course).
Honestly, I haven't really made up a concrete stance on this issue. I would really have to learn more about IP.
Anyone interested to attend the seminar? Tara Let's! Just let me know!
Kindly find details below :-)

ASIAN EDITION
A Conference on Media Piracy and Intellectual Property in South East Asia
Sponsored by the Goethe Institute, Manila, and the UP Film Institute
Date: November 24, 2006, 9:00 am 5:00 pm, UP Film Institute, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Metro Manila, CMC Auditorium
Many Filipinos still remember the "Asian Edition" - a scheme during the Marcos years, when American textbooks were reprinted locally and without paying royalties to the original publishers. Now, "Asian Edition" serves as title for a conference that will look at the phenomenon of media piracy in South East Asia today. Music, movie and software piracy is one of the most prominent media issues of the digital millennium. In the Philippines it has started a whole underground economy and currently seems to change the way movies and other media products are distributed and consumed products here and in other South East Asian countries.
The goal of the workshop is to contribute to an informed discussion of media piracy and issues of Intellectual Property in the age of digital reproduction. Instead of portraying piracy exclusively as a crime against artists and distributors, the proposed workshop will look at piracy as a social, cultural and economic phenomenon. And it will discuss new concepts of addressing ownership of Intellectual Property, such as Creative Commons and Open Source.
Dr. Tilman Baumgärtel, Visiting Professor at the University of the Philippines, organizes the conference.
Confirmed participants include:
Raymond Red, film director, Manila
Cornelia Sollfrank, artist, Hamburg
Raul Pertierra, sociologist, Manila
Rolando Tolentino, National University Singapore
Volker Grassmuck, writer, Berlin
Khavn de la Cruz, film director, Manila

The conference is free and open to the public.

Wala yatang economist sa speakers. Yun yung interest ko eh: how does it really affect the economy.
Oo nga.
I guess nung August ata iyon, IP-Philippines held a Copyright Conference. The first part of the session was about the contribution of the copyright sector to economic development. Although it featured the success stories of other countries like US and Singapore. I can lend you the copy of the presentation one of these days if you're interested.
IP-Philippines has a lot of planned conferences for next year. I'll buzz you if there's one about IP and economy.
