Free Software in Ethics and in Practice
Location: Auditorium Ara Pacis. Richard Stallman will speak about the goals and philosophy of the Free Software Movement, and the status and history the GNU operating system, which in combination with the kernel Linux is now used by tens of millions of users worldwide.
Copyright vs. Community
Location: University La Sapienza, Aula Magna della Caserna Sani, 184 via Principe Amedeo (Metro A - VIttorio Emanuele), Rome, Italy. 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.
