GikII - Not for the Lulz!?
GikII is a forum for the intersection of law, technology and popular
culture. After previous editions in London, Edinburgh andOxford, GikII
has gained enough steam to hit the continent. Topics covered at the
last editions included killer robots, virtual property, copyright
online, the many lives and deaths of privacy, fandom, avatar culture,
Roman slaves and knitted Daleks. Last year’s presentations can be
viewed on the Gikii website, http://www.law.ed.ac.uk/ahrc/gikii/

technology, science, geek culture, blogging, creative commons,wikis,
science fiction or fantasy, computer games, digital culture, gender on-
line, virtual worlds, series of tubes, or deep packet inspectors, to
come to GikII 4 and join us for two inspiring days of cutting edge
collisions of the worlds of law, tech and popular culture. LOLcats,
robot scientists and cheezburgers are especially welcome.
