DESCRIPTION:"Copyright vs. Community in the Age of Computer Networks"\nRichard 
 Stallman\nFounder of the GNU Project\n\n9 PM, Thursday, February 
 22nd\nHillegass-Parker Coop (formerly Le Chateau)\n2545 Hillegass 
 Ave.\nBerkeley, CA 94704\n\nAbstract:\nCopyright developed in the age of 
 the printing press, and was designed\nto fit with the system of centralized 
 copying imposed by theprinting\npress. But the copyright system does not 
 fit well with computer\nnetworks, and only draconian punishments can 
 enforce it.\n\nThe global corporations that profit from copyright are 
 lobbying for\ndraconian punishments, and to increase their copyright 
 powers, while\nsuppressing public access to technology. But if we seriously 
 hope to\nserve the only legitimate purpose of copyright--to promote 
 progress, for\nthe benefit of the public--then we must make changes in the 
 other direction.\n\nBiography:\nRichard Stallman launched the development 
 of the GNU operating system\n(see www.gnu.org) in 1984. GNU is free 
 software: everyone has the\nfreedom to copy it and redistribute it, as well 
 as to make changes\neither large or small. The GNU/Linux system, basically 
 the GNU operating\nsystem with Linux added, is used on tens of millions of 
 computers today.\nStallman has received the ACM Grace Hopper Award, a 
 MacArthur Foundation\nfellowship, the Electronic Frontier Foundation's 
 Pioneer award, and the\nthe Takeda Award for Social/Economic Betterment, as 
 well as several\nhonorary doctorates.\n\n________________________\n
