+ Lecture
+ Don't let Hollywood hijack your rights by Cory Doctorow
Cory Doctorow is a science fiction writer publishing his novels under
Creative Commons, activist, and tech person, he was the Director of European
Affairs for the Electonic Frontier Foundation (http://www.eff.org) and
co-editor of the world famous techy blog Boing Boing
(http://www.boingboing.net)
In his lecture Doctorow will show you that American entertainment companies
say they're fighting piracy, but in fact they're going at it by punishing the
innocent to get at the guilty. A pan-European digital-television restrictions
proposal will turn the studios from companies that can control copying of
movies into companies that can control the design of all DTV devices, that
get to define how big your family is allowed to be, that get to take away all
the rights you get under copyright law and sell them back to you, one
painful, expensive dribble at a time.It's not really a business plan: more
like a urinary tract infection. Europe's coming Broadcast Flag will ban open
source for DTV, break the devices in your living room, and turn you into a
truly captive audience. Get your torch and pitchfork, for this genuinely
sucks -- and you shouldn't take it lying down!
