Hey CopyFriends,
The time has come for another installment of CopyNight Gainesville. However, on Wednesday this week, the city of Gainesville will be graced by the presence of comedian Lewis Black. While Mr. Black has no connection whatever with CopyNight, many of us CopyNighters are fans, and will therefore be in attendance at his performance, which occurs during CopyNight's regularly scheduled time.
Therefore, we have often to move CopyNight to this Thursday, March 29. I hope you'll join us!
Thursday, March 29.
7 pm
Tim and Terry's, 1417 NW 1st Ave.
(Behind Target Copy on W. University Ave. -- the purple house)
One of our subjects this month will be the future of Alachua Freenet (AFN). AFN has been providing free dial-up Internet access to the community since 1994, but will discontinue dial-up service this month. We'll take this opportunity to share opinions on the digital divide and discuss our vision for connectivity in the community.
CopyNight is a social meet-up for people interested in copyright reform. We meet once a month in cities around the world. Here in Gainesville, we meet on the 4th Wednesday (usually) at Tim and Terry's.
CopyNight is a way to build strong social ties among the various communities who all have a stake in copyright law that works in the public interest. We invite students, professors, creative artists, technologists, librarians, businesspeople, lawyers, and everyone else. We meet over drinks to chat about recent events and the challenges that face us.
CopyNight is free to attend and is open to all ages. TIm and Terry's will glad to provide sandwiches, soft drinks, beer and wine a-plenty.
See you there!
