Hi guys, just got the email below from the Open Rights Group -- which is, in many ways, a UK-based equivalent to the more famous Electronic Frontier Foundation, albeit slightly more focused on copyright issues.
It's a bit short-noticed for me, but if anybody else wants to attend, it could be fun? :) Cheers Giacomo Lacava [email protected] Begin forwarded message: > From: Ruth Coustick <[email protected]> > Subject: Manchester digital freedoms conference > Date: 3 April 2013 12:12:56 BST > To: [email protected] > > Hi, > > I hope you are well. > My name is Ruth and I am writing from the Open Rights Group.
