SUMMARY:Copyright vs. Community
DESCRIPTION:Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada.  Room 1160\, Bahen Center\, 40
  St. George Street.  Copyright developed in the age of the printing pr
 ess\, and was designed to fit with the system of centralized copying i
 mposed by the printing press. But the copyright system does not fit we
 ll with computer networks\, and only draconian punishments can enforce
  it.\n\nThe global corporations that profit from copyright are lobbyin
 g for draconian punishments\, and to increase their copyright powers\,
  while suppressing public access to technology. But if we seriously ho
 pe to serve the only legitimate purpose of copyright--to promote progr
 ess\, for the benefit of the public--then we must make changes in the 
 other direction.  ** This talk is free and open to the public.  No reg
 istration is required. **
