Is Intellectual Property Dead? "The Revolt of Students for New Directions"

Tuesday, February 26, 2008, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm

"Students for Free Culture" is a nation-wide organization initially organized to battle for free access to music online that has since branched into other areas of the anti-copyright, copyleft, public domain movements. Can this student network help lead public policy in a new direction, to a place where copyright law will not criminalize certain users?
