Richard Stallman al DISI di Genova!

Giovedi' 11 settembre 2008 alle ore 16:00 in aula 509 - 5 piano Stallman terrà un intervento dal titolo "Copyright vs Community in the Age of Computer Networks" presso il Dipartimento di Informatica e Scienze dell'Informazione dell'Università di Genova (via Dodecanneso 35, V piano).

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. But if we seriously hope to serve the only legitimate purpose of copyright--to promote progress, for the benefit of the public--then we must make changes in the other direction.

Richard Stallman è il fondatore del progetto GNU e della Free Software Foundation
