Sounds interesting, though I agree it's an unusual angle to say the
least. I've booked a place out of curiosity and there are now 36 spaces
free.

Thanks for the heads up, Nick.

Simon.

Subject: [Cc-uk] Own IT! Creative london advice service

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.
