Do you sometimes resort to loading your MP3 player with sketchily-acquired tracks? Build your music collection by downloading from P2P networks? Feel tempted to download, but worry that it’s dangerous? Have questions about why this behavior could get you into trouble? Come to the University Forum on File Sharing, February 27, 2008 at 12:15 p.m. in the Stamp Student Union Atrium.
Bring your lunch and your questions to an open discussion about file sharing! The question and answer period is a chance to hear from parties involved in all areas of the online piracy debate. Ask a GRAMMY-winning musician whether online piracy affects her. Ask a university lawyer why the school takes the position it does on illegal file sharing. Maybe even ask a legislative aide about related bills being presented to the House and Senate. Sign up for the Ruckus Network. Come, bring your questions, and discuss!
