The Intellectual Property Institute’s fourth annual Evil Twin Debate will take place at noon on Friday, November 5, 2010, in the moot court room at the University of Richmond School of Law. It will feature Jonathan Band of policybandwidth.com and James Grimmelmann of New York Law School. They will debate the topic The Google Books Settlement: Standing Copyright on Its Head? The debate is open to the public and will provide one hour of Virginia CLE credit. A Q&A and reception will follow.
The Evil Twin Debate series is founded on the notion that experts are often at loggerheads on important issues of IP policy, yet remain friendly on a personal level. The series therefore brings together pairs of scholars who disagree on an important IP topic, but who can air their disagreements in a friendly exchange—serious in substance but lighthearted in tone.
