Public Knowledge said Wednesday that it will sponsor what it describes as the first World's Fair Use Day on Jan. 12 to examine issues related to the idea of fair use, which allows for some uses of copyrighted materials without obtaining permission from copyright holders. Speakers lined up for the Washington event include Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Pa., and Andrew McLaughlin, the White House deputy chief technology officer for Internet policy. "World's Fair Use Day will shine a spotlight on how crucial fair use is to our culture, our democracy and our economy," Public Knowledge President Gigi Sohn said in a statement.
