What Museums Need in a Digital Rights Management System: An
Exploratory Forum
Participants : Dianne Nilsen, Center for Creative Photography
Alicia Cutler, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian
Institution
Steffen Wedepohl, The Bridgeman Art Library, London, UK
Moderator : Diane M. Zorich, Cultural Heritage Consultant

Museums have been dissatisfied with the commercial digital rights
management (DRM) systems that are available. None of them address
museum needs, and most focus exclusively on the restrictive aspects
of DRM. The goal of this exploratory forum is to solicit input from
two guest speakers and the audience about what museums want and need
in a DRM system. The goal of the forum is to draft a basic list of
functional requirements for a museum DRM system that can be used by
museums as a starting point in the development of their own DRM
system, or in collaboration with a vendor.

Searching for Fair Use: How Google's Copyright Battles will Affect
Access to Assets

Participants:
Tyler Ochoa, Santa Clara University
Jonathan Band, policybandwidth.com
Guy Pessach, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Moderator:  Amalyah Keshet, The Israel Museum, Jerusalem
The cultural heritage constituency has been  or should be  following
with interest Google's current copyright battles. The outcome of
these controversies and court cases will clearly have an impact on
how we will provide and access digital assets in cultural heritage
institutions in the future. Google Print, Google Library, Google
Search, the Perfect 10 v. Google Inc. thumbnail images case, as well
as other similar cases and the issues behind them will all be
explored by a panel of user-friendly legal experts. Roundtable
discussion will be encouraged.
