The Talk
The lecture by Lawrence Lessig will last 45 minutes, and will be
followed by a 30 minute interactive Q & A session. The event will be
moderated by Elizabeth Stark of the Open Video Alliance. Questions can
be submitted using the hashtag #wireside.
This is a talk about copyright in a digital age, and the role (and
importance) of a doctrine like “fair use.” Fair use allows limited use
of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights
holders, and is essential for commentary, criticism, news reporting,
remix, research, teaching and scholarship with video.
The Panel
Chris Coleman is a digital artist and educator at DU who uses numerous
technological tools to share ideas. He has been teaching Processing
for three years to Undergraduate and Graduate students and presented
his research on the topic of "Interfacing GOOD Information" at the
FlashBelt conference in Minneapolis. The research dealt with inviting
people to experience information about the good being done in the
world (like work on sustainable energy solutions) both visually and
spatially. His work has been showcased in museums, galleries and
festivals in nearly 20 countries, and one of his software tools
(maxuino) has been downloaded 4000 times by people in 58 countries.
Laleh Mehran’s creative research and pedagogy explore digital video as
a tool to inspire critical discourse. Mehran has been teaching digital
video production for over a decade and has recently introduced High
Definition video into the classroom. Her video work has been exhibited
nationally and internationally at venues such as the European Media
Arts Festival in Osnabruck, Germany; Ponte Futura in Cortona Itlay;
the Orlo Video Festival in Portland, Oregon; the Carnegie Museum of
Art, and The Andy Warhol Museum. Mehran is an Associate Professor and
Graduate Director of the Electronic Media Arts Design program at the
University of Denver.
Jonny 5 is a writer, educator, and former high-school counselor,
better known as the lead-MC and founding member of the Flobots.
Currently signed to a multi-record deal with Universal Republic, the
Flobots' third album, Survival Story, will be released in March, 2010.
While the songs and videos released by Universal have tight copyright
restrictions, Jamie has also participated in a number of alternative
projects, including his current "Rhyme of the Day" effort to share a
new rap/verse every single day of 2010 on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/flobot5

Film and Journalism Studies at the University of Denver. He teaches
courses on First Amendment law, media law, and Internet law and
regulation. He is the author of several book chapters and journal
articles, and his new book, National Security in the Courts: The
Requirements of Transparency vs. the Need for Secrecy, will be coming
