[LUUG Publicity] Thurs 27th May: Lawrence Lessig: Creative Commons in a Connective World

[Andrew Findlay]

This event may be of interest to Open Source people. It was brought to
my attention by Richard Westlake, who found it in a list of events
organised by the London International Festival of Theatre.

> Lawrence Lessig: Creative Commons in a Connective World
> "In this lecture, Lessig will put forward the hypothesis that innovation
> and experimentation thrive when ideas and culture can be freely circulated
> and freely exchanged. These freedoms are under threat. He proposes that
> the erosion of constitutional and civil rights carries with it profound
> consequences for all those involved in the arts and the business of
> ideas."

in concept to the licenses promoted by the Open Source Initiative, but
has more of an arts focus.
