The Danger of Software Patents
by Matt Lee — published Aug 31, 2007 — last modified Sep 11, 2007 03:03 PM — filed under:
Location: Politecnico di Milano, Room S01, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, 32, 20133, Milano, 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 speech will be accessible to all audiences and the public is encouraged to attend. (There is a subscription fee for people who are not AICA associate members.)

Event Copyright vs. Community in the Age of Computer Networks
by Matt Lee — published Mar 13, 2007 — last modified Mar 13, 2007 10:44 AM — filed under:
Location: Rutgers University, Fiber Optics Auditorium, Busch Campus, 101 Bevier Rd., Piscataway, NJ. 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.
