Sakai Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that examines the relationship between new media and copyright from a legal perspective.
AboutAbout the lab
How should the law respond to changes in media?
The Sakai Lab studies intellectual property law, especially copyright law, as well as information law and policy.
It considers what problems the characteristics of media, such as digital and analog, bring to copyright.
The lab examines new technologies and the environments they create, and considers how to connect them to existing copyright law, or how to rewrite it.
A distinctive feature of the lab is that it thinks about the law while keeping in mind the connections between legal studies and other academic fields.
