Harmonization of copyright law and copyright management

The copyright session will focus on the questions of necessity of more harmonized law and copyright management, in particular clearing of rights for global models for online education, including digital reposition of works. Copyright laws of national states are still territorial and although harmonized they function very differently in practice.
