(Please forward to campus mailing lists!) http://wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,65616,00.html They are forming Free Culture groups on campuses to explain Copyright law to fellow students. Stressing its importance for culture and society, the group says copyright law is being abused. To illustrate their point, the groups hold remixing contests, promote open-source software and rally against legislation like the Induce Act, which would hold technology companies liable for encouraging people to infringe copyrights. http://www.freeculture.org/ an international student movement for free culture -- Russell McOrmond, Internet Consultant: <http://www.flora.ca/> Code is Law: how software code regulates the activities of citizens, and acts similar to law.
