Topic: "Copyright vs Community" by Richard Stallman

Date: Monday 21st February 2011
Venue: TU  Delft, Collegezaal A, Netherlands

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.
