The Movement for Copyright Balance is Not Dead
Last night, I attended the 2008 IP3 awards put on by Public Knowledge, a Washington DC based public interest group working to defend our rights in the emerging digital culture. I had a chance to meet two of the award recipients, Fred von Lohmann and Ben Scott.
Recently, I had let myself lose track of the movement for copyright balance and digital world legal movements in general. But it was great to find myself in a room full of the people that are acting on our behalf to protect our digital freedoms. I’d do a bad job at summing up the state of the digital rights movements - so, go check out Public Knowledge, Free Press and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. If you are at all a techie or supporter of technology, knowing what is happening on the legal front should be relatively important to you.
