This event will be webcast live. Abstract: Everyone wants a piece of you these days: Google, Facebook, Flickr, Apple, AT&T, Bing. Theyll give you free e-mail, free photo storage, free web hosting, even a free date. They just want to listen in. And you cant wait to let them. Theyll store your stuff, theyll organize your photos, theyll keep track of your appointments, as long as they can watch. It all goes into the Cloud. How we got here is quite a scary story. But nowhere near as scary as getting out again. Eben Moglen, a Professor of Law and Legal History at Columbia University and the founding director of the Software Freedom Law Center, warned you about privacy and the cloud before. At a public meeting of the Internet Society of New York on February 5, Moglen will ask you to consider how much worse things have become since then and explain what you can do to reclaim your freedom in the era of Web 2.0. * What: ISOC-NY Public Meeting: Eben Moglen Freedom In The Cloud * When: Fri.
