style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black'>In 2011, the creative
economy enjoys a place of prominence on the national agenda. Compelling ideas
and engaging media generate more jobs and more wealth than ever before. From
breaking news to breakthroughs in science, from blockbuster films to bloggers
in basements, the value of intellectual property is paramount.</span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Yet online, digital
files and their copies can be made and distributed with a single click.
Authors, creators and publishers must struggle to assert ownership of their
works on the Internet while Congress shapes laws and regulations that affect intellectual
property. Simply put, copyright laws can significantly impact how copyright
owners and users interact. Is it time for a re-boot of our nation's copyright
laws? Or should government just get booted out of the way?</span></font></p>

Peters, U.S. Register of Copyrights from 1994 to 2010; and Jon Baumgarten, one
of the country's most respected intellectual property lawyers and a partner in
the Washington, DC office of Proskauer, will offer their answers and insights
at an invitation-only event presented by the non-profit Copyright Clearance
Center.</span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black'>The occasion marks the
35th anniversary of the Copyright Act of 1976, when Congress took into account
how television, radio, sound recordings, and other then cutting edge
innovations like the photocopier had wrought unimaginable change since the
previous legislation was written - in 1909! Today, new questions and challenges
arise almost daily: Are search engines like Google and content benefiting from
the labor and investment of others? Are copyright owners pushing for too much
control over the use of their content? Is copyright law ever going to catch up
with technology and should it?</span></font></p>
