Event C source code header Copyright vs. Community in the Age of Computer Networks
by Matt Lee published Mar 15, 2007 last modified Mar 15, 2007 04:20 PM — filed under:
Location: Thomas Beam Engineering Building, Room A107, University of Nevada - Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV. 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.

Event C source code header Free Software, Freedom, Globalization, and Development
by Matt Lee published Mar 13, 2007 last modified Mar 21, 2007 02:37 PM — filed under:
This speech will be accessible to all audiences and the public is encouraged to attend. 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.

The Danger of Software Patents
by Matt Lee published Mar 12, 2007 last modified Mar 28, 2007 01:58 PM — filed under:
This speech will be accessible to all audiences and the public is encouraged to attend. Richard Stallman will explain how software patents obstruct software development. Software patents are patents that cover software ideas. 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.
