Is Their Itouches On Sale

Richard Stallman May 7 at the campus! Overt and covert advertising

Well you May 7 at 15 Richard Stallman will be at the Savona Campus to discuss with the students on "Copyright vs Community in the Age of Computer Networks." Meeting at 15 at the classroom AN4




Here are the summaries of his speech he sent us:

"The concept of copyright dates back to the press and was developed to adapt the system to copy imposed by the centralized printers. This system does not fit well with computer networks and can only be implemented with strict draconian restrictions.

Large global corporations that profit from copyright are exerting increasing pressure to implement these restrictions in order to increase their power based on copyright and thus suppress the free access to technologies. But if you really what you want is that the copyright and pursue its only legitimate purpose - to promote progress for the benefit of all-then we must implement significant changes in a new direction "
