An online public meeting

May 24th, 2011 at 1:00 pm by David Farrar

I’m one of four guest speakers in an online public meeting organised by the Greens, to discuss recent copyright legislation and its implications.

The meeting is at 7 pm tomorrow (Wed 25 May) and it is hosted by Gareth Hughes MP. The guest spakers are myself, Thomas Beagle (TechLiberty), Bronwyn Holloway-Smith (Creative Freedom Foundation) and Vikram Kumar (InternetNZ).

The meeting website says:

This site will be updated with more information on how to participate. You will be able to take part by sending your questions and comments via twitter or by emailing Gareth.

You can also get involved by going to the facebook event page

Hope to see a few people online for it tomorrow. I’m looking forward to the discussion. The Greens have been consitently reliable on the copyright issue, opposing the original S92A. The replacement law is a big improvement, but it is still going to potentially impact hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders so if you are interested in the details, come along.

Gareth and others should stop calling it “guilt on accusation”. It aint.

I’m not all that interested in the copyright issues….. but I think these public online meetings, forums and so on that you are beginning to talk about lately are a great thing.

Well done for participating and letting your readers know about these, DPF. Good work!
