The master class “Artist status and copyright” on March 27th, organized by the non-profit association Les Amis d’ma Mère in the framework of the Millenium Festival, was a great success. The master class had the aim of responding to multiple concerns about the status of artists and the invisible side of the exploitation of artistic works on the internet.
Nearly a hundred documentary filmmakers, young professionals and students have come together for this meeting led by Jean-Jacques Jespers.
