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.
