Concluding remarks
Eva Hemmungs Wirtén

File sharing, peer-to-peer, Open Access, Creative Commons, Piratbyrån and Anti-Piratbyrån; any given day media overflows with references to these and similar phenomena. Today, digitization revolutionizes the production of literature as well as science. New forms of collaboration emerge in Internet-based fan communities as well as in the Arts and Sciences.  Challenging traditional notions of what it means to be a creator as well as a user, legislation lags behind. Stakeholders representing cultural heritage institutions, individual artists, scientists, and scholars note with great concern that we need, not the overstretched and counterproductive intellectual property system that we seem to be moving towards with alarming speed, but a sustainable balance between the rights of creators and the rights of users—at least if we want to ensure the continued production of cultural heritage and new innovations. Using Fairly is an international one-day conference focused on the complicated relationship between copyright and creativity and an activity within the project Culture, Creativity, Copyright: The Making and (un)Making of Cultural Heritage.
