Eric SchrijverCopiez ce livre

We will be delighted to welcome Eric Schrijver for the launch of Copiez ce livre (French version of the well known Copy this book), published by Les commissaires anonymes, on Thursday 15 June 2023 from 6pm to 9pm at 9 rue Lesbroussart. The programme will include a presentation in the garden, a signing and an afterparty at the bar Le Tigre in Flagey.

An artist’s guide to copyright, written for makers.

Both practical and critical, this book will guide you through the concepts underlying copyright and how they apply in your practice.
How do you get copyright? For what work? And for how long? How does copyright move across mediums, and how can you go about integrating the work of others? Because they get copyright too!
Copy this Book will detail the concepts of authorship and original creation that underlie our legal system. This way, it will equip you with the conceptual keys to participate in the debate on intellectual property today.
