The Fashion Industry and IP Reform? Are Copyright-Unfettered Industries More Efficient than Other Copyright-Plagued Industries Such as Music, TV and Movies?

By Andis Kaulins

Johanna Blakely, the Deputy (Assistant) Director of the Norman Lear Center, a think tank at the USC Annenberg School for Communication, has a thought-provoking video comparing the immensely successful copyright-unfettered fashion industry with other - monetarily much less successful creative industries such as music, TV and movies, which are all in the middle of copyright wars. The presentation relates to the Lear Center's Ready to Share landmark conference on Fashion & the Ownership of Creativity, which asks "whether the fashion industry offers a compelling model for other creative industries to explore and emulate."
