SUMMARY:Copyright vs. Community
DESCRIPTION:Montreal\, Canada.  Time of speech to be announced.  Omni-
 Mont Royal Hotel\, 1050 Sherbrooke St. West\, Montreal\, Canada.  Copy
 right developed in the age of the printing press\, and was designed to
  fit with the system of centralized copying imposed by the printing pr
 ess. But the copyright system does not fit well with computer networks
 \, and only draconian punishments can enforce it.\n\nThe global corpor
 ations that profit from copyright are lobbying for draconian punishmen
 ts\, and to increase their copyright powers\, while suppressing public
  access to technology. But if we seriously hope to serve the only legi
 timate purpose of copyright--to promote progress\, for the benefit of 
 the public--then we must make changes in the other direction.  Registr
 ation is required.
