Wellington, New Zealand - Victoria University of Wellington, RHLT 2, in the Rutherford House on the Pipitea Campus. 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.

La Paz, Bolivia - Richard Stallman explicará de qué manera las patentes obstaculizan el desarrollo del software. Las patentes de software impiden la implementación de ideas para el software y obstruyen su desarrollo, pues cada decisión sobre el diseño del software presupone el riesgo de ser demandado. En otros campos, las patentes restringen fábricas, en cambio las patentes del software restringen a cada uno de los usuarios de ordenadores. Las investigaciones en el área de la economía demuestran que las patentes incluso retrasan el progreso.

Christchurch, New Zealand - Christchurch Town Hall, 86-95 Kilmore Street. 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. They wish to establish a pay-per-read system for
books, and convert public libraries into retail stores. If we
hope to serve the only legitimate purpose of copyright--to
promote progress, for the benefit of the public--then we must
change copyright law in the other direction.
