AN UNCOMMONLY GOOD COMMONS TALK?


The IPKat has learnt from BoingBoing about a forthcoming copyright-related talk. A forum on open content will be taking place near Marble Arch on Wednesday 22 February, in London at 7pm. The speakers are:

*Paula LeDieu, iCommons
*Cory Doctorow, Writer and Campaigner
*Tom Chance, RemixReading and Free Culture UK
*Jennifer Rigby, BBC Creative Archive

Open sauce invades the IPKat website

Issues on the agenda include "To what extent do monopoly rights such as copyright hinder, or help, the development of open content?"

The IPKat suspects he knows which way the argument will go, but it looks good fun anyway.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
