On Wednesday, September 20th at 7pm we'll be co-sponsoring an event with The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) to bring professor James Boyle from Duke Law school to NYU. We'll be meeting at Warren Weaver Hall (also known as the Courant Institute) in room 513. The topic will be the DMCA, also know as the "copyright" law everyone loves to hate. Some people consider it unconstitutional (as it bans certain types of speech, eg explaining how to subvert DRM), others consider merely a bad law that we have to work around. We'll be discussing it, its impact, and whether or not we're paying too much attention to it. Check out the Wikipedia entry on the DMCA here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMCA if you'd like to learn more about the law. A bit of background on Professor Boyle: He is a board member of Creative Commons, columnist for the Financial Times online and winner of the 2003 World Technology Award for Law for his work on "cultural environmentalism." His most recent work is a comic book about fair use. Space is limited, so please RSVP to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have "RSVP" somewhere in the e-mail so our filters can pick it up. Check out the poster here : http://www.freeculturenyu.org/jamieboyle2.pdf or at http://www.freeculturenyu.org Feel free to forward this e-mail to whomever you'd think would be interested in this event. Best, Fred Benenson Free Culture @ NYU </blockquote> Distributed poC TINC: Jay Sulzberger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Corresponding Secretary LXNY LXNY is New York's Free Computing Organization. http://www.lxny.org _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
