Symposium 1: 2:00 – 3:30pm
Panel 1: Issues for Distribution: Networks and software and their impact on cultural distribution.
This panel will discuss in detail the legal implications of creating and distributing your own content. The workshop will examine Creative Commons Licensing and explain what the implications are when used in the distribution of music, film, art and writing. The panel will look at where peer-to-peer distribution is and the proposed outlawing of software.

Symposium 2: 3:45 – 5:15 pm
Panel 2: Audiences and Interfaces: Investigation of the impact of networks and digital platforms on content design and audience.
Has design been influenced by new device platforms? Do target audiences dictate how content is created and delivered? Examine how to develop a service or application that meets the requirements of different audiences? Has screen size and resolution influenced design aesthetics and have user expectations changed as digital content is delivered on evolving mobile platforms.
