A friend went to a Creative London seminar. The bias was heavily towards locking down works and creativity. Disturbed and with good intent, He made a suggestion that they hold a seminar on creative commons and free software with the idea of broadening their horizon.

This appears to be a response to his suggestion.
http://www.own-it.org/events/details/?eventId=33

Which starts "Piracy. File sharing. Viral marketing. Open source, copyleft and Creative Commons. How do you protect your ideas and work when everything seems downloadable in the internet age?"

Speakers are:
Alex Chapman and Paul Randle, Solicitors, and Miles Jacobson, Managing Director of Sports Interactive (SI), the creator of the new title Football Manager 2005,

It is therefore not surprising how skewed the summary of the speech is towards monopolising works. Two of the three speakers are in the legal sector which stands to gain from monopolisation of culture.

There is no entry fee. There are 39 spaces currently available.

This is a partnership between
http://www.creativelondon.org.uk/
and
http://www.lcc.arts.ac.uk/

A lively Q&A section where informed members take the alternative position could be fun, however, creativelondon and lcc need to be convinced there is an alternative to locking down/ monopolising works.
