[invitation] [16 July 2021 @ 3 p.m.] Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 16th Memorial Webinar-based Online Lecture, 2021 by Professor Shalini Urs
by Francis Jayakanth 14 Jul '21

14 Jul '21

Dear All, Greetings from the NCSI-Net Foundation. We hope you are doing well, staying safe and healthy. NCSI-Net Foundation ( https://ncsinet.org/ ) cordially invites you and your colleagues to Dr T.B. Rajashekar 16th Memorial Lecture, 2021 on: Revisiting Copyright and the Republic of Science: Reframing Copyright Theories From Property to Public Good. by Professor Shalini Urs Founder Chairperson and Trustee MYRA School of Business, Mysore - 571130 & Former Founder Director and Professor International School of Information Management University of Mysore Mysore - 570006, India. The talk will be chaired by Ms Bindu Sharma, Founder & CEO, Origiin IP Solutions LLP (https://www.origiin.com/) Date & Time: Friday, 16th July 2021 @ 3.00 p.m. Microsoft Live Event Link: https://tinyurl.com/4n3wuc52 Abstract of the talk: This talk will briefly lay the foundations for revisiting the theoretical justifications for copyright by discussing the four theoretical frameworks: utilitarian theory, the labor-desert theory, the personality theory, and the social planning theory. While the utilitarian theory and the social planning theory build their theoretical explanations on the notion of maximization of social welfare through diverging on how they each define "welfare." The labor-desert theory and the personality theory form the Rights-based theories and justify copyright as a "natural right" given to the creator of copyright material. The norms of "the Republic of Science" are famously articulated by Robert Merton and compactly summarized by the mnemonic "CUDOS": Communalism, Universalism, Disinterestedness, Originality, and Skepticism. These CUDOS norms not only dovetail with Popper's ideal of Open Society but are intrinsic to the scientific enterprise. Scientific or scholarly information exhibits the two cardinal characteristics of Public Good*non-excludable and non-rivalrous. From an economic point of view, scientific products are essentially public goods, and from a sociological point of view, scientific research is a product of social collaboration, and its ownership belongs to the community. Asserting that production of scientific knowledge does not belong to the "natural right" category, and the public good is social welfare, I argue that it is time to revisit the copyright issue and turn it on its head. We need to reframe the copyright theories in the context of CUDOS norms and the principle that knowledge is a non-excludable and non-rivalrous commodity. About Dr Shalini Urs Dr Shalini R Urs is an internationally recognized academic who began her career in academia 44 years back, joining the University of Mysore as a lecturer in the Department of Library and Information Science in 1976.
