WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
Electronic books (or e-books) are steadily gaining popularity given the convenience and affordability it brings to consumers.

Join us for this workshop if you wish to acquire a deeper understanding of issues relating to copyright ownership, infringement, defences and enforcement in the digital world. Our speaker will also discuss contractual issues between authors, publishers and end-users, as well as matters concerning enforcement of territoriality in a borderless cyber world.
