Gikii Conference papers
We missed this one but spotted that Miranda Mowbray put out a link to the papers so thought it worth sharing. The papers link is here and we’ll try and keep an eye for next years event as we thought it had some interesting topics.
The event
The first GikII event in September 2006 established itself as the first workshop in the world where the worlds of law, technology and popular culture came together. We want to discuss whether geek law exists; by the end of the workshop we had created it. Topics covered at the first workshop included surveillance strategies in the novels of Harry Potter; how to avoid building open source killer robots; whether we need a new legal regime for the regulation of virtual property; copyright law, anime, fansubs ; comparative pornography law, TRIPS and Japanese manga; virtual world governance; the law of entropy and old computers; technophobia and technophilia; and much much more.
