Copyright v. Community in the Age of Computer Networks (Morgantown, WV 2010)-Richard Stallman Speech
Mr. Stallman delivers this speech to a group at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia on February 17, 2010.
After a brief introduction to Free Software and the aims of the Free Software Movement, Mr. Stallman dives into his main topic, beginning with a short lecture on “Intellectual Property” (mostly having to do with why you shouldn’t use that term), followed by the history and development of copyright law, before finally getting into the meat of his talk on why copyright law, as it is currently written, is obsolete and harmful to society.
