Öffentlicher Abendvortrag | 15.06.2011 19:00 Uhr Richard Stallman: Copyright versus Community in the Age of Computer Networks
ÖFFENTLICHER ABENDVORTRAG zur Feier des 10-jährigen Bestehens von TELOTA – The Electronic Life Of The Academy Mittwoch, 15. Juni 2011, 19 Uhr Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften Akademiegebäude am Gendarmenmarkt Leibniz-Saal, Markgrafenstraße 38, 10117 Berlin Copyright developed in the age of the printing press, and was designed to fit with the system of centralized copying imposed by the printing press. But the copyright system does not fit well with computer networks, and only draconian punishments can enforce it. The global corporations that profit from copyright are lobbying for draconian punishments, and to increase their copyright powers, while suppressing public access to technology. But if we seriously hope to serve the only legitimate purpose of copyright – to promote progress, for the benefit of the public – then we must make changes in the other direction. Richard Stallman launched the development of the GNU operating system (see www.gnu.org) in 1984. GNU is free software: everyone has the freedom to copy it and redistribute it, as well as to make changes either large or small. The GNU/Linux system, basically the GNU operating system with Linux added, is used on tens of millions of computers today. Stallman has received the ACM Grace Hopper Award, a MacArthur Foundation fellowship, the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Pioneer Award, and the Takeda Award for Social/ Economic Betterment, as well as several honorary doctorates.
