Jealous? Me?
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been seeing lots of notices lately about a symposium coming up in June in Washington, DC, on “Sustaining Culture in Copyright”, on how we can better balance “cultural innovation” with copyright owners’ rights. This happens to be taking place on June 22-24, right at the start of the American Library Association’s annual conference, also in DC. Now, I’m from Alaska, and generally the idea of being somewhere as warm as DC can be in the summer does not greatly appeal to me. After all, isn’t summer the time when folks should be leaving DC for cooler climes?! This time, though, I might be just a little bit jealous. Three whole days learning about copyright in a current context, with speakers like Peter Jaszi of Washington College of Law, American University, and William Patry, now of Google, Inc.! Information related to filesharing, social media, net neutrality! What fun!
