A journey into the wonderland of copyright

At first glance, Antoine Defoort simply appears to be giving a lecture: during an hour and a half, he retraces the story of copyright, from the 15th century to this day. Well, even Denis Diderot himself makes a personal appearance to explain the context of the Age of Enlightenment. Furthermore, the incredible saga of Maurice Ravel’s estate is being told. As for the concept of “rivalry resources”, the speaker demonstrates it by handing out of Pepito® cookies. Defoort nonchalantly delivers a cracking show, brimming with jokes, stage tricks and scenic strategies with a carefully defined simplicity / efficiency ratio. A surprising piece of fun!
