UW-Madison Libraries is scheduled to host a symposium Saturday on the culture of Internet file sharing, focusing on students' rights and responsibilities in peer-to-peer file sharing.
The event includes speakers Nelson Pavlosky, co-founder of Students for Free Culture, and Gavin Baker, co-founder of the University of Florida chapter.
At the library symposium, students will be able to participate in breakout sessions about YouTube, file sharing, open access publishing, open source programming and digital rights management.
We hope this program helps create a community of interest in these issues among students and that the forum will be one of many discussions and programs related to copyright and access,"" Carrie Nelson, associate academic librarian at College Library, said in a statement.
The Culture of Sharing will be in Memorial Union at 3 p.m. Check TITU for exact location. For more information log on to http://cultureofsharing.library.wisc.edu.
