  Subject: [Computers_and_society_announcements] Eben Moglen, author of GPL 3 
 at Courant this Friday night 7:00 - 9:00 
  
  Eben Moglen, Professor of Law and Legal History at Columbia University, 
  and founder, Director-Counsel and Chairman of the Software Freedom Law 
  Center, will speak about Freedom in the Cloud: Software Freedom, Privacy 
  and Security for Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing on Friday, February 5, 2010, 
  7-9 pm. This event will be webcast live. 
  
  Abstract: 
  Everyone wants a piece of you these days: Google, Facebook, Flickr, Apple, 
  AT&T, Bing. Theyll give you free e-mail, free photo storage, free web 
  hosting, even a free date. They just want to listen in. And you cant wait 
  to let them. Theyll store your stuff, theyll organize your photos, theyll 
  keep track of your appointments, as long as they can watch. It all goes 
  into the Cloud. 
  
  How we got here is quite a scary story. But nowhere near as scary as 
  getting out again. Eben Moglen, a Professor of Law and Legal History at 
  Columbia University and the founding director of the Software Freedom Law 
  Center, warned you about privacy and the cloud before. At a public meeting 
  of the Internet Society of New York on February 5, Moglen will ask you to 
  consider how much worse things have become since then and explain what you 
  can do to reclaim your freedom in the era of Web 2.0.
