CopyNight NYC: The Defense of SOPA

[Laure]

At our next CopyNight, join us for a great opportunity to talk one on
one with one of SOPA's supporters. This is a chance to get into the
more nuanced aspects of the drive for IP protectection vs. the issues
of security, free speech and privacy that have driven the debate so
far. We will discuss the issues behind legislation as well as the
general divide between Hollywood and tech.

Our speaker, Hillel I. Parness, is a practicing attorney and partner
with the New York-based firm of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi and an
adjunct member of the IP faculty at Columbia University School of
Law . His analysis of SOPA has been featured on ReadWriteWeb, the MPAA
blog, and elsewhere. He will give a brief presentation followed by
discussion.

CopyNight February will be at 7pm at Vig Bar, 12 Spring Street, Back
Room. Tuesday, 2/28.

CopyNight is a monthly social gathering of people interested in
restoring balance in copyright law. We meet over drinks once a month
in many cities to discuss new developments and build social ties
between artists, engineers, filmmakers, academics, lawyers, and many
others. Join us in the back room.
