Copyright vs. Community
by Matt Lee — published Oct 03, 2007 — last modified Nov 13, 2007 12:38 PM — filed under:
Detailed location: Universidade de São Paulo - USP Escola Politecnica - Predio da Engenharia Civil Av. Prof. Almeida Prado, trav.2 nº. 83 Auditorio 136, Sao Paulo, Brazil. 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. This speech will be accessible to all audiences and the public is encouraged to attend.

The Danger of Software Patents
by Matt Lee — published Sep 24, 2007 — last modified Sep 24, 2007 02:13 PM — filed under:
Location: "Rigolin" room, CEn.Ser Rovigo Fiere, Viale Porta Adige, 45, 45100, Rovigo, Italy. 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. This talk will be accessible to all audiences and the public is encouraged to attend. If you register at http://www.opensourceexpo.it, for 15.00 EUR you will have access to the entire expo and will receive a complimentary gift bag.

El Peligro de las Patentes del Software
by Matt Lee — published Sep 20, 2007 — last modified Nov 12, 2007 01:04 PM — filed under:
Lugar: Aula Magna Fray Alonso de la Vera Cruz, Facultad de Filosofia y Letras, Circuito Exterior, UNAM, Mexico City, Mexico (Metro Universidad). Richard Stallman explicara 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.
