okt
Tid Torsdag 17 oktober, 2019 kl. 13:15 - 14:00
Plats Humlab

Gavin Feller, Humlab, presenterar kommande forskningsprojekt om filtering av video. Seminariet hålls på engelska.

 

"Recently, a U.S. court case found VidAngel—a Mormon-owned video filtering company—to be in violation of copyright law. VidAngel was fined several million dollars for removing objectional content from DVDs that were later streamed at a cost to subscribers of its service. I am interested in the religious ideologies that influence VidAngel as a company, its subscribers, and the larger video filtering industry. The legal implications of emerging technologies, such as streaming, and copyright is a popular topic. However, very few have sought to understand the role of religion as a driving force."
