Law in the Bush is back!

 

Dr Patrick Graham is joined by his colleague, Dr Wellett Potter, to talk about the booming, multi-billion dollar world of digital assets in online gaming. Yet, as Wellett tells us, this very modern phenomena is currently regulated by copyright laws, which have their origins in the 19th century.

 

Wellett’s research is particularly focused on copyright issues arising in this area. She is well-known to many UNE Law students having taught across a range of units over the past few years. Wellett was recently appointed a lecturer in law, having been awarded a PhD by UNE in 2021. Her doctoral thesis looked at intellectual property and explored the copyright protection of databases in the digital era. Wellett’s ongoing research projects concern copyright law and the emerging challenges through the use of artificial intelligence and new technologies.

 

Join us on Law in the Bush to hear about this fascinating –– and very modern –– intersection of law and technology!
