************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** From: Seth Johnson <seth.johnson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Organization: Real Measures Subject: Advisory: NY Fair Use To Speak Out at DMCA Exemptions Hearings MEDIA ADVISORY CONTACT: Seth Johnson, NY Fair Use (212) 543-4265 WHAT: Rally at U.S. Copyright Office's Rulemaking Hearing on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act WHEN: 8 to 10 AM, Friday May 2nd WHO: New Yorkers for Fair Use, a grassroots organization dedicated to preserving fundamental rights in the digital age. http://www.nyfairuse.org WHERE: In front of 1333 H St NW, Washington DC WHY: If the DMCA is not overturned, in a matter of years governments and a few large companies will force spy machinery and remote control machinery into every home computer in the world. The computer you have will not be yours any more. The DMCA will also end free private, tribal, business and public use of the Internet. New Yorkers for Fair Use are here to tell the people how the DMCA threatens their right of private ownership of computers and free speech and assembly on the Net. The DMCA is the main legal underpinnings for a well-funded, well-publicized, massive onslaught against private ownership of computers, changing fundamentally how the public can access and make use of information. ADDITIONAL: Jay Sulzberger of NY Fair Use will join a panel of public representatives testifying on exemptions to DMCA restrictions on circumvention of access controls. -- New Yorkers for Fair Use http://www.nyfairuse.org [CC] Counter-copyright: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/cc/cc.html I reserve no rights restricting copying, modification or distribution of this incidentally recorded communication.
