Almost a year ago, massive street demonstrations forced the Polish government to reject an international treaty ACTA aimed at criminalizing copyright infringement. Today, we are moving away from this disarray and acrimony and launching a new constructive dialogue.Kino Kultura for the first ever CopyCamp . They shared their experience and perspectives on copyright, stories about how copyright works in practice, and setting the direction for the future of copyright in the digital world. The Modern Poland Foundation organized the event, under the honorary patronage of the Digitization Ministry . We partnered to make this possible, along with the Polish Filmmakers Association , the ZAiKS Collecting Society , Trust for Central and Eastern Europe .Nina Paley opened the event. She is the author of a cartoon film titled “Sita sings the blues” which tells the story of Ramayana using popular songs as soundtrack. Behind the entertaining presentation was a serious message: she started to make money on her films only after she started to apply open licensing to her art.
