Free and Open to the PublicOne of the key defining characteristics of something called “folk” is often a sense that it exists somewhere just to one side of the marketplace in a place sometimes called the public domain. Scholar Siva Vaidhyanathan will explore the basics of this complicated and confounding issue. This lecture is recommended especially for librarians, lawyers, publishers, and anyone interested in the ownership of culture.
