Digital Economy: 11 months ago · updated 11 months ago · ViewThere’s a digital-rights fringe event at the Lib Dem Spring Conference in Sheffield:
”Who runs the Internet? Wikileaks, piracy and censorship”
Libel law reform campaigner and former MP Evan Harris, website pioneer Mary Reid, James Blessing of the Internet Service Providers’ Association (ISPA) and Jim Killock of the digital rights champions Open Rights Group debate recent issues about free speech and the internet with chair Mark Pack.
20:00 – 21:00, Saturday 12 March
Meeting Room 6, Mercure St Paul’s Hotel, 119 Norfolk Street, Sheffield, S1 2JEI shall be there. I expect a good few local activists will want to be there too. Perhaps an opportunity to ressurect the once-regular ORG social in Sheffield by repairing to a local hostelry afterwards? I’m told the Crucible Corner (formerly Ruskins) might be quieter than average for a Saturday night if people want to continue the discussion. It’s also but a stone’s throw from the meeting venue…
Richard, do you have to register or can you just turn up?
I am interested in this event. As you know I was tweeting regularly on this topic before and during the election campaign. However, I am not sure what my plans are at this stage in the week. Yes I know it is only two days but my life moves and changes very fast!!

There also was a very entertaining congressional hearing: http://www.softwarefreedom.org/news/2010/dec/03/moglen-do-not-track-testimony/

Digital Economy: 1 year, 4 months ago · updated 1 year, 4 months ago · ViewI’ve been thinking about what to do with this group now the Digital Economy Act is law. How would people feel about converting it into a group for discussing digital rights in general? Topics would include the DEAct, as well as ACTA, software patents, online privacy, DRM, net neutrality and so on. Thoughts?
I’ve also been thinking about what to do with this (and other increasingly dormant) groups . I think this one should encompass wider digital rights issues. There’s nowhere else on the Hub that is best suited, and all the topics you mentioned deserve some increased profile. Same goes for the blog – could do with a revamp. Happy to put heads together on this to get it in the right state to make it easier to maintain going forward. Could start making tracks at #collabolab if you’re around and want to.
