PIJIP Director Sean Flynn was recently interviewed by the Re:Create Coalition for it's Copyright Corner Q&A Series. In the interview, he explains the meaning of  “information justice,” the restrictions that continue to constrain research and education – even in today’s digital age – and how global IP laws impact access to the Covid vaccine. Flynn also helps readers better understand how the ability to make and use research materials is core to the freedom of expression and how copyright law can become an unjustifiable restriction without adequate exceptions.

Re:Create’s Copyright Corner Q&A series features conversations with leading policymakers, academics and thought leaders to break down complex copyright issues and examine how copyright interacts with American jobs, creativity and innovation.
