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/index.asp 
.

We invite all of you that have a paper on any aspect of law AND  
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.
