Boston, MA. C. Walsh Theatre, 55 Temple St., Suffolk University. Copyright does great harm when applied to today¹s computer
networks which facilitate online collaboration and peer-to-peer
sharing. Developed for the age of the printing press and currently
enforceable only through draconian punishments, the system infringes
freedoms which have become essential to network users. Dr. Richard
Stallman, MacArthur Fellow and president of the Free Software
Foundation, offers an alternative way for copyright to provide its
intended benefits to the public without negating the freedom we need.
This talk will be accessible to all audiences and the public is encouraged to attend.
