Jack Valenti is coming to the Duke Law School

Meredith and Kip Frey Lecture in Intellectual Property
February 24, 2003

Jack Valenti, president and chief executive officer of the Motion Picture
Association of America (MPAA), will give the third annual Meredith and Kip
Frey Lecture in Intellectual Property. A former aide to U.S. Presidents
Kennedy and Johnson, he was appointed chief executive of the movie
industry's trade association in 1966 and has led the group ever since,
turning it into one of the most powerful forces on Capitol Hill.
Throughout his tenure at the helm of the MPAA, Valenti has championed the
film industry's unified self-censorship against local and religious
censoring groups while simultaneously heading the Motion Picture Export
Association, which assertively protects the interests of the American
studios abroad, fighting local production quotas, taxation and other
restrictions on trade. For the last several years, Valenti has
increasingly focused on the dangers of Internet piracy to Hollywood's
products. Mr. Valenti, who holds an MBA from Harvard University, is the
author of four books - three non-fiction works and the political novel
Protect and Defend - and numerous essays for The New York Times, The
Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Atlantic Monthly, Newsweek and other
publications. The Meredith and Kip Frey Lecture in Intellectual Property
is a lecture series that was established in 2000 by Duke Law School
alumnus Kip Frey '85 and his wife, Meredith, to increase discussion about
emerging issues in the areas of intellectual property, cyberspace, and
science and technology law. Noted intellectual property law scholars
Lawrence Lessig, professor of law at Stanford University, and Yochai
Benkler, professor of law at New York University, delivered previous
lectures in this series.
