David Campbell, President, Pirate Party of Australia is speaking at the Sydney Shove, see www.sydneyshove.org
6pm Dinner, talk at 7pm - NSW Leagues Club - 165 Phillip Street Sydney. Friday, 24th August. Admission is based on the purchase of something to eat - or at least something to drink. David Campbell, President of the Pirate Party of Australia, reports on Intellectual Property and how it affects us - from copyright and the internet, the attempt to redefine civil interactions as crimes, and also patents on Genes, something in the media at present. Importantly, our freedoms are being limited through international agreement like the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, SOPA, ACTA and so on - and are passed at closed meetings, far removed from public scrutiny. Not to mention narky things like copyright being extended to protect the interests of Disney. David will also outline the policies of the Pirate Party, where it came from and its objectives. Dinner is optional, and you can turn up at 6pm for an early dinner, but please at least purchase a drink while you're there.
