Jag upprepar först att vi tyvärr fått ställa in vår UppLYSning den 15 maj.
Vi gör ett nytt försök till hösten!
Sedan vill jag åter göra reklam för föreläsningen med Richard Stallman
från Free Software Foundation, som våra vänner i Digifri
(http://www.digifri.org/) anordnar den 17 maj kl 19:00 i sal C4,
C-huset, Campus Valla.
Föreläsning med Richard Stallman
Torsdagen den 17 maj klockan 19:00 kommer Richard Stallman till
Linköping för att föreläsa om "Copyright vs Community in the Age of
Computer Networks". Föreläsningen kommer att hållas i C4, hus C,
Campus Valla.
Copyright vs Community in the Age of Computer Networks
Following up on his talk in Göteborg, Richard Stallman will talk on
the issue of copyright, a system developed in the age of the printing
press designed to fit with the system of centralized copying imposed
by the printing press, but which does not fit well with computer
networks.
The global corporations that profit from copyright are lobbying for
draconian punishments, and to increase their copyright powers, while
suppressing public access to technology. But if we seriously hope to
serve the only legitimate purpose of copyright--to promote progress,
for the benefit of the public--then we must make changes in the other
direction.
Richard Stallman will also suggest changes to the Pirate Party
program, in order to avoid the unintended consequence of giving
proprietary software an advantage over free software.
