Lessig in Edinburgh on April 2

Larry Lessig is coming to Edinburgh's Science Festival on 
April 2:
Leading lawyers, journalists, and technologists, including 
Professor Lawrence Lessig, champion of the Creative 
Commons initiative, will debate the future of ideas and 
how best to promote creative work in a digital world, at a 
panel discussion as part of this year's Edinburgh 
International Science Festival.
The talk "Cyberlaw: who controls access to ideas on the 
net?" chaired by Lilian Edwards of the AHRC Research 
Centre for Studies in Intellectual Property and Technology 
Law ("the AHRC Centre") , will be held on the 2nd April 
2005.
The lecture is open to the public and tickets for the 
event can be purchased from 
http://www.sciencefestival.co.uk/

The panel will discuss whether the unprecedented 
opportunities the Internet offers for the sharing of 
creative works, globally and at next to no cost, are being 
impeded by outmoded laws and business models.
