Economies of the Commons Conference: Day I
Location: De Balie, Centre for Culture and Politics, Amsterdam
Friday April 11, 2008 - 10 - 18.00 hrs

10.00: Opening and Welcome

10.30: Conference Keynote:

Peter Kaufman: The Economics of Film and Video Distribution in the Digital Age

11.30: Panel 1: Audiovisual Archives

Audiovisual archives are at the beginning of a profound change in the way that they have traditionally operated for the last fifty years. This change is primarily the result of two key developments: [1] Digitisation of analogue material becoming an integral part of the working processes; and [2] New online services that emerge, such as video on demand and online repositories for education.

Speakers: Pelle Snickars (SLBA), Poppy Simpson (BFI Screenonline), Tobias Golodnoff (Dansk Culturarv), Roei Amit (INA).

13.00: Lunch break

14.00: Panel 2: Commons-based Peer Production

We are only beginning to discover the dynamics and opportunities associated with user-generated content, exchange networks and peer production. Many questions are still unanswered or even unasked. What are the economies of peer production? What are the implications for conventional practices with respect to copyright regulation? How do new developments compare to firm production and market-based production? Which new business models are being developed?

Speakers: Felix Stalder (Open Flows), Jamie King (Steal This Film), Jon Phillips (Creative Commons), Sebastian Lütgert (oil21.org), Ton Rosendaal (Blender Foundation).
Moderator: Paul Keller (Kennisland)

15.30 Coffee break

15.45: Panel 3: European Digital Library

Individual efforts cannot meet the overarching requirements leading to ubiquitous access on a pan-European scale and do not accumulate to the critical mass needed to steer the research and development roadmap advocated by the industry. This gap is acknowledged by policy makers. Now European and national governments need to take responsibility to close the gap.

Speakers: Paul Doorenbosch (KB - National Library of The Netherlands), Jill Cousins (Director European Digital Library), Sonja de Leeuw (Utrecht University/ case: Video Active), Georg Eckes (Deutsches Filminstitut / case: European Film Gateway)
Moderator: Bas Agterberg

Economies of the Commons Conference: Day II

Location: De Balie, Centre for Culture and Politics, Amsterdam

Saturday April 12, 2008 - 11 - 18.00 hrs

11.00: Panel 4: Uncommon Business Models

This panel will take on the subject of open business models. The workshop will be kicked off by two experts from related media industries that are arguably ahead of the curve.

Speakers: Jan Velterop, CEO of Knewco (www.knewco.com), and one of the leading experts on Open Access will give us an insight in the deployment of open business models in scientific publishing. Over the past couple of years Open Access has been able to provide a valid and sustainable alternative in this 7 billion dollar industry.
Jonas Woost, Head of Music at the pioneering music company Lastfm (www.last.fm), will pick up from there. In his presentation he will highlight how his company has successfully generated income streams in an industry that has shown to be particularly vulnerable in the open environment of the internet.

Followed by a panel discussion with: Peter Kaufman (Intelligent Television), Roei Amit (INA), Rick Prelinger (Prelinger Archives) and Eerde Hovinga (NIBG-tbc).
Moderator: Harry Verwayen (Kennisland)

What new and alternative distribution models emerge for professional cultural producers and cultural institutions?

Speakers:
Florian Schneider (Kein.tv), Kenneth Goldsmith (Ubuweb), Bauke Freiburg (Fabchannel / Culture Player), Chai Locher (NFTVM), Rick Prelinger (Prelinger Archives).
