Starting from the fall semester of this academic year, Waseda University Law School has launched a special endowed course supported by the Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers (JASRAC). As part of this initiative, RCLIP will regularly co-host public lectures featuring leading international experts. As a kick-off program, we were delighted to welcome three distinguished scholars from Europe, who discussed recent developments in European copyright law.
