El copyright fue desarrollado en los tiempos de la imprenta, y fue diseñado para adecuarse al sistema centralizado de copias impuesto por la imprenta en aquella época. Pero en la actualidad, el sistema de copyright se adapta mal a las redes informáticas, y solamente puede ser impuesto mediante severas medidas de fuerza. Las corporaciones globales que lucran con el copyright están presionando para imponer penalidades cada vez más injustas y para incrementar su poder en materia de copyright, restringiendo al mismo tiempo el acceso del público a la tecnología. Pero si lo que queremos realmente es honorar el único propósito legítimo del copyright —promover el progreso para beneficio del público— entonces tendremos que realizar cambios en la dirección contraria.

En otros campos, las patentes restringen fábricas, en cambio las patentes del software restringen a cada uno de los usuarios de ordenadores.

The talk will be followed by informal discussion at the "Parliament Pub" Family Restaurant across the street, beginning at approximately 18:30. The Government of Canada is the largest software user in Canada. In most cases, it gives developers of the programs intolerable power over how the state uses public assets and how the state manages its own data; in effect, giving these developers (most of whom work for large corporations, most of which are foreign) power over the state's own computers, in all their forms. Free/Libre software licensing is the way out of this bind. It gives the users control over their own computing, whether these users are government departments, companies or individuals. The Government of Canada is also the largest funder of custom software development in Canada. It is the largest employer of software developers, and the organization with the largest number of software developers under contract. Canadian legislators should ensure that the software paid for by the public is available for the public to use in freedom, by releasing it as Free/Libre software. Richard Stallman will explain these issues, as well as why the term "intellectual property" is an incoherent over-generalization that should be completely shunned. Richard Stallman, is stopping in Ottawa for meetings with government and non-governmental officials.

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.

Developed for the age of the printing press and currently enforceable only through draconian punishments, the system infringes freedoms which have become essential to network users.

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 explicará como las patentes de software obstruyen el desarrollo de software. Las patentes de software son patentes que cubren las ideas del software. Ellas restringen el desarrollo del software, de modo que cada decisión del diseño trae el riesgo de conseguir ser demandado. Las patentes en otros campos restringen fábricas, pero las patentes del software restringen a cada usuario de computadora. La investigación económica demuestra que incluso retardan el progreso.

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.

This talk will introduce and describe the movement for free culture, access to knowledge, and open knowledge movements. These groups are frequently compared to the free and open source movements; both free software and free culture share a similar critique of intellectual property, a similar goal of access to information and a similar set of legal instruments (i.e., licenses) through which they attempt to achieve these goals. However, through its stronger emphasis on licenses and creator-centric messages, free culture and free software diverge in important ways as well. While the free knowledge movement, and Creative Commons in particular, calls for "some rights reserved," the FSD defined free software as software that respects the four essential and unreservable freedoms to use, modify, share, and collaborate without restrictions. This talk will describe the speaker's work on the Definition of Free Cultural Works aimed to provide both a definition and a goal: a Utopian vision of a world where culture is truly free and a set of standards by which we can judge our movement's success -- a vision of "essential rights are unreservable."

The last decade has witnessed a rise in the role of computing as a service, a massive increase in the use of web applications, the migration of personal computing tasks to data-centers, and the creation of new classes of service-based applications. These shifts have raised a host of important questions for the advocates of free software. For example, by separating use and distribution of software, these models have in some cases reduced the effectiveness of GNU GPL-style copyleft which treat modified web applications as if they were private software. Much more importantly, the movement of software off of personal computers has reconfigured power relationships between users and their software and complicated questions of ownership and control in ways that free software advocates do not yet know how to address. What does freedom mean for the users and developers of web services? What is at risk? What should the free software community, and the Free Software Foundation, do to ensure that software, and its users, stay free in this new technological environment? These questions and more will be discussed. The FSF is committed to protecting computer users' freedom, and always has been. Last year saw the release of the GNU AGPL, a license that requires service providers to provide the source for applications that users interact with over a network. While this is a helpful option for developers concerned about this use case, it doesn't guarantee users' freedom, and so the FSF plans to begin talking very directly about how web services affect us all. This summit will discuss the establishment of goals for a campaign to address the issue more comprehensively, and suggest some first steps for taking action.

LIEUX: LA CANTINE, 151 rue Montmartre, 12 passage Montmartre Galerie des Panoramas, 75002 Paris (http://lacantine.org/ ). THEME DE LA CONFERENCE: Les enclosures des biens communs : du vivant aux logiciels. Par Richard Stallman et Jean-Pierrre Berlan. Richard Stallman a lancé le développement du système d'exploitation GNU (utilisé dans la combinaison GNU-Linux), et spécifiquement de la Licence Publique Générale GNU (GNU GPL). Il est aussi le fondateur de la Free Software Foundation. Jean-Pierrre Berlan est un ancien Directeur de recherche en agronomie à l'INRA. Il participe activement, aux côtés de la Confédération Paysanne, au débat sur les soi-disant OGM et le brevetage du vivant, par une réflexion critique sur les biotechnologies qu'il accuse d'être devenues des sciences de la mort. Les "enclosures" désignent le mouvement d'expropriation des terres dévolues à l'usage collectif qui s'est déroulé sur plusieurs siècles et a précédé et préparé la Révolution industrielle. Le concept de « nouvelles enclosures » désigne par analogie la captation de biens communs par l'invention par les juristes des multinationales de nouveaux "droits" divers de « propriété sur le vivant » (gènes, plantes, animaux), sur les connaissances comme les algorithmes des logiciels, créant des monopoles qui cachent les effets et les conditions de chacun d'eux, derrière la fausse généralisation et l'escroquerie sémantique de l'expression « propriété intellectuelle ». De nouvelles lois, comme « La loi de lutte contre la contrefaçon », mensongère à plus d'un titre, votée au Sénat le 17 octobre 2007, permettra à des agents assermentés d'organismes professionnels privés (semenciers, industrie du disque, Business Software Alliance) d'apporter la preuve de la matérialité des "infractions", en ayant le droit d'enquêter, y compris sur Internet, en étant à la fois juge et partie. Des pratiques sociales, professionnelles, culturelles telles que l'informatique ou la reproduction du vivant, qui n'avaient a priori rien à voir entre elles, se retrouvent encapuslées dans de mêmes dispositifs juridiques : « les nouvelles enclosures ». C'est ainsi que les agriculteurs sont en train de devenir des « contrefacteurs » puisque produire en agriculture, c'est inévitablement reproduire, et du fait de l'extension du droit de brevet au vivant, c'est reproduire ce qui « appartient à autrui ». Pour Richard Stallman : « toutes les libertés dépendent de la liberté informatique, elle n'est pas plus importante que les autres libertés fondamentales mais, au fur et à mesure que les pratiques de la vie basculent sur l'ordinateur, on en aura besoin pour maintenir les autres libertés. Profitant de la faiblesse de la démocratie contemporaine, les grandes entreprises sont en train de prendre le contrôle de l'Etat, ce sont elles qui contrôlent les lois, pas les citoyens. Ça a commencé avec le Digital Millenium Copyright Act aux Etats-Unis, puis elles ont imposé des directives européennes dans leur intérêt ». Une meilleure connaissance des enjeux du logiciel libre peut-elle apporter des éléments d'analyse, de réflexion et de réponse ? Pour quelles convergences ?

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.

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. This talk will be hosted by the Computer Science Department of San Francisco State University. The talk will be accessible to all audiences and the public is encouraged to attend.

Please, join us in celebration as we bring to a close eighteen months of public outreach and comment in revision of the world's most popular free software license. Beyond the creation of an improved license, the process of drafting version 3 has helped highlight vital issues for the community of free software users. This is a moment to thank both the thousands who participated by commenting on the license and those who represented stakeholders through the GPLv3 committee process. Now, with the release of GPLv3, we will see new defenses extended to free software. These defenses will continue the long history of fighting all efforts to make free software proprietary. Please, join us as we stream live footage of Richard Stallman announcing GPLv3 from Noon (EDT) at www.fsf.org. If you are in the Boston area you can also join us at the FSF offices from 11:30am. Please let us know at <info@fsf.org> if you would like to attend. -- Peter T.

They restrict the development of software, so that every design decision brings a risk of getting sued. Patents in other fields restrict factories, but software patents restrict every computer user. Economic research shows that they even retard progress. Location: Bygning, Building 308, Danmarks Tekniski Universitet, Richard Petersens Plads, Kongens Lyngby, Denmark.

Location: Ghent University, Direction ICT, Multimedia Room, Campus Sterre, Krijgslaan 281, Building S9, 9000, Gent, Belgium. Richard Stallman will speak about the goals and philosophy of the Free Software Movement. Because free software respects users' freedom, free software technology can be maintained, adapted, and extended by people anywhare. Whereas use of proprietary software imposes dependency, use of free software is development. As many free programs are used in 100 countries, and have developers on six continents, free software exemplifies the globalization of cooperation in use of human knowledge, which is as beneficent as the globalization of business power is harmful.

Following on from the success of last years members forum, we have invited a few distinguished members to speak and discuss their work, and this year we welcome Mako Hill to talk about his work “Defining free culture”.

This talk will be accessible to all audiences and the public is encouraged to attend. Copyright developed in the age of the printing press, and was designed to fit with the system of centralized copying imposed by the printingpress. 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.

That means free software plays a smaller or larger role in the determination of media concentration, according as users have more or less control over the network that envelopes their lives.
