A reception will follow the panel. The entire event is free and open to the public.
Free ?
Don’t you know that running events for free will cause children to starve ? It costs money to run events like this, so you should charge people to go.
I’d considering going to this if it didn’t start while I was still working. If my work was closer to downtown, I might have considered dropping by after. I’ll definitely get the book though.
…
May we show up in radical extremist pirate costumes?

Mexican Senate Unanimously Votes To Remove Mexico From ACTA Negotations
The resolution points out that access to information is a key point in helping to build a modern, information-based nation, and ACTA is about removing access to information and knowledge. They’re not against ACTA entirely, but think that the process needs to be a lot more open and involve a lot more stakeholders, and say they won’t agree to ACTA unless the process includes a much larger group in the discussions

Microsoft Has Lobbied for Weaker Protection for Search Engines, ISPs
[PJ: I missed this at the time, but here is part of what Microsoft’s Michael Hilliard, Corporate Counsel for Microsoft in Canada, said in the government’s Copyright Consultations round table discussion in Halifax about a year ago, in August of 2009, on the theme of desired changes to copyright law (MP3), and as you read it, have in mind the strategy that Viacom tried unsuccessfully to use against YouTube/Google, asking the court to rule that Google didn’t qualify for DMCA safe harbor protection:]
Turning to the issue of limitations of liability, such provisions are important for the development of innovative Internet-based services. However, care is needed in drafting such provisions to ensure that exceptions are not so broad to include activity that is widely regarded as unlawful. Barry referred to this in his comments about Bill C-61. In Microsoft’s view the Internet and other digital network service providers who profit from providing services that enable or facilitate communication of infringing copies – so for example providers of software that help users locate infringing music, movies or software files – should not qualify for exemptions or limitations on remedies. Accordingly, provisions which seek to limit liability, ISPs or search engines should be carefully crafted. – http://www.groklaw.net/
