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.

The GNU Operating System (sometimes mistakenly called Linux) was developed so people can use computers and keep their freedom. This nontechnical talk explains the ethical and social issues of free software. This event is being hosted by Gnubies and LXNY. There is no charge and it is open to the public. The ending time here is a guess.
Subway: Eighth Street stop on the N, R, sometimes W, lines; Astor Place on the 6 line; Third Avenue on the crosstown L line; Lower EastSide-Second Avenue-Houston Street on the F, V lines. Note that some of these lines may not be running right.
