Freedom vs. Control:
Rights Management in the Digital Age

Wednesday, 15 December 2004, 9am-4pm

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.

Program includes individual sessions and panel discussions with:
