Richard Stallman, fondatore del Free Software Foundation, sarà il 7 maggio al campus universitario di Savona per incontrare studenti e ogni interessato sull'argomento "Copyright vs Community in the Age of Computer Networks".
Questa la sintesi relativa al suo speech che ci ha inviato :
Copyright developed in the age of the printing press, and was designed to fit with the system of centralized copying imposed by the printing press. But the copyright system does not fit well with computer networks, and only draconian punishments can enforce it.
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
L'appuntamento è quindi per il 7 maggio, ore 15,00, al Campus di Savona, via Magliotto 2, aula AN1.
