Afterthoughts: March CopyNight

Tonight, we had our first CopyNight in Pittsburgh.

Stu started the evening with an important question, "What enrages you about copyright?" At first, the rage was meek.

Some of the time was spent discussing the DMCA basics and why the everyday person might care about copyright law. From the common ideas we found issues that related more to each of us, such as the music industry, research practices and academic applications. Although the conversation occasionally strayed from copyright issues (can you blame us?), I think we had a very comprehensive conversation.

In the end, there definitely was some "rage" surfacing. Of course, tamed by good beer and witty comments…

Thanks everyone – let’s do it again next month!
