Title: Some reflections on science 2.0 and the law
Abstract: Regardless of what exactly is meant when we talk about science 2.0, it is always about sharing and using digital content. One significant but often ignored difference using digital content instead of traditional printed media is the growing importance of law in general and of copyright issues in particular. The first part of the talk is about the law’s changing role when physical copies disappear. After that selected problems will be discussed from the background of German law. These examples can draw attention to similar constellations in other legal systems. At the end, some strategies will be proposed which can help to reduce or even to avoid legal problems by working and collaborating in science 2.0 environments.
