Why Copyright Is Key to Future Publishing Innovation

At the London Book Fair on Thursday, Copyright Clearance Center presented, The Copyright Conundrum, a special talk led by Victoriano Colodron, senior director of international relations at CCC. The presentation outlined the paradox many publishers face: copyright is key to conducting the business of book publishing, but the digital revolution has made sharing -- regardless of copyright restrictions -- as easy as a single keystroke. In this talk, Colodron argued that a defense of copyright is not for protection of the past, but is the only way to deliver future innovation. Watch the complete presentation below.
