DESCRIPTION:Commentators have widely discussed the tension between copyrigh
 t and  free speech. One issue that has yet to be fully explored concerns t
 he  tension and conflict between copyright and free speech in countries th
 at  heavily restrict information flows or that substantially control  cult
 ural industries. Focusing on countries with heavy information  control\, t
 his seminar will examine the need for greater copyright  freedom to compen
 sate for the lack of freedom of expression. It will  further articulate ho
 w\, in some countries\, “creative reuse” could be  transformed into “liber
 ative reuse.”  Professor Peter Yu’s presentation will also  highlight the 
 free speech challenges in an environment where enforcement  measures are i
 ncreasingly strengthened and where criminal liability is  introduced to ad
 dress massive copyright infringement on the Internet. It  concludes with s
 ome suggestions on how to harness the copyright system  to promote free sp
 eech values and Internet freedom.  About the speaker  Peter K. Yu holds th
