SGMS presentation on dojinshi, the TPP, and the dojin mark fanworks license

[unjapanologist]

Here's my presentation for SGMS (Schoolgirls and Mobile Suits), which is going on right now in Minneapolis. On the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement's possible legal threat to dojinshi exchange, and one of the solutions that are being tried in Japan - the dojin mark, a kind of license for fanworks. Which I will blog about as soon as I have a brain again.

Oh, thanks so much for posting this. I'm looking forward to seeing it. How has the conference been? I'm so... ambivalent about Mechademia, so if you get the chance I'd love to hear your impressions!

Safe travels! :)

It was a lot of fun! Very exhausting though, but everything has been exhausting in the last few weeks. I'm having a short holiday in Toronto now ;)

What is it you'd like to hear about? Can message in private if you prefer.

Btw, the presenter whose powerpoint you asked for (Sandra Annett) will be posting it.
