CopyNight DC March 25, 2008

This month's CopyNight will discuss issues raised in the book "The Pirate's Dilemma" by Matt Mason. Here's the general premise: Pirates sail uncharted waters where traditional rules don't apply. As a result, they offer great ways to service the public's best interests. How people, corporations, and governments react to these changes is one of the most important economic and cultural questions of the 21st century. The Web site for the book is http://thepiratesdilemma.com (includes chapter 1 for free).

CopyNight (http://copynight.org) is a monthly social gathering of people interested in restoring balance in copyright law. We meet over drinks once a month in many cities to discuss new developments and build social ties between artists, engineers, filmmakers, academics, lawyers, and many others.

The DC CopyNight meets the fourth Tuesday of every month.
