That event calls for a protest, against the overgeneralization<br>
inherent in the term "intellectual property". These laws are more<br>
different than similar, so any suggestion to think of them as one<br>
single issue is an obstacle to careful thought about any one of these<br>
laws. Issues of patent law should not be called "intellectual<br>
property". See <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html" target="_blank">http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html</a>.<br>

Might you be interested in printing lots of handouts to give out<br>
at the event?</blockquote><div><br>I see what I can do. I'll print as many as I can carry ;)<br><br>I will also try to take as many notes as possible and let all of you know what will be discussed.<br><br>Regards,<br>
