Dear Friends/CopyNighters:
Our February meeting will be this Wednesday, February 28, 2007, 7 PM at Tabouli's (2015 Belmont Blvd.). Topics for discussion could include Steve Jobs and his call for freedom from DRM (when he will ax Apple's "FairPlay?"), BitTorrent's plans to open a digital media store (http://news.com.com/2100-1025_3-6161944.html), the Microsoft MP3 patent loss to Alcatel-Lucent (http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070222-8910.html), the next Microsoft potential loss (http://news.com.com/2100-1014_3-6161689.html), Congress (what are they doing now?) and more.
In my own copyright-related work, I am learning Akon, Snoop Dogg, T-Pain, The Game, Fifty Cent, Rascal Flatts and Keith Urban and some other things. And I'm celebrating because Manny Ramirez reported to the Boston Red Sox spring training camp today.
And there's the comedic/tragic news being made by Jet Blue, Britney Spears, Scooter Libby, Al Gore, Martin Scorcese, Pac Man, Tonya Harding and Michael Jackson.
Finally, I'd like to reiterate the mission statement of CopyNight:
"CopyNight is a monthly social gathering of people interested in restoring balance in copyright law. We meet over drinks once a month in many cities to discuss new developments and build social ties between artists, engineers, filmmakers, academics, lawyers, and many others."
Here's to social ties!
