“Only 58 Seconds to Steal a Painting”: New Symposium Addresses Criminality in the Art and Cultural Property World
July 2, 2012 by Elena Iosef (IPilogue Editor) June of this year, Toronto’s Old Osgoode Hall hosted a conference that was a first of its kind. Co-chaired and organized by Osgoode alumna Bonnie Czegledi of Czegledi Art Law, the Symposium on Criminality in the Art and Cultural Property World attempted to address an important issue: who is protecting art itself? Events such as the Canadian Artists’ Representation/Le Front des artistes canadiens (CARFAC)’s annual conference place great weight on the relationship between artists and the law. As well, Canadian intellectual property law itself focuses primarily on the legal and moral rights of creators and owners of art. The Czegledi symposium brought to light some of the struggles involved in protecting art and cultural property in a modern society wherein art is increasingly thought of as a commodity rather than a cultural treasure.
Upcoming Symposium to Address the Issue of Criminality in the Art and Cultural Property World
June 13, 2012 by Elena Iosef (IPilogue Editor) Starting this Friday, June 15th at Old Osgoode Hall, a new two-day symposium attempts to bring attention to the burgeoning issue of criminality in the art and cultural property world. Organized by Czegledi Art Law, a firm focused on international art and cultural heritage law, the symposium is the first of its kind for Canada. Where other conferences relating to art and law address the protection of artist rights, the Czegledi symposium will tackle the protection and preservation of art and cultural artifacts.
Village People Crooner’s “Macho Macho” Song Rights Held Up in Court
May 25, 2012 by Elena Iosef (IPilogue Editor) In a long-anticipated court ruling on May 9th, a California judge upheld former Village People lead singer Victor Willis’s right to reclaim ownership of hit songs such as “YMCA” and “In the Navy.” Early last year, Willis invoked an amendment of United States copyright law which deals with inalienable “termination rights” with respect to recordings created post-1978. |
