Freedom vs. Control: Rights Management in the Digital Age
Wednesday, 15 December 2004, 9am-4pm(registration/breakfast 8:15-9:15am)


MIT Building/Room 34-101, 50 Vassar Street 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA


Chilling effects, electronic frontiers, anarchist librarians, free software,
creative commons, civil liberties, the DMCA, and the mysterious fog of
licensing, copyright, and liability - all packed into a single day dedicated
to exploring the epic battle over rights in the digital environment.

The latest in an award-winning series of timely and engaging conferences for
information leaders and practitioners, this NEASIS&T professional gathering
promises to generate deeper understanding, thought-provoking ideas, and
lively debate. Technology, law, society and custom weave a tangled web of
challenges and opportunities in the modern age - forcing us to actively and
continuously evaluate our needs for both freedom and control of intellectual
property. Join your colleagues and four dynamic speakers from the forefront
of 21st century information leadership for a day of fascinating
conversations designed to illuminate the shadowy netherworld of rights
management.
