We're hosting a Wireside Chat with Lawrence Lessig in Toronto tomorrow:

RSVP: http://lessigtalktoronto.eventbrite.com?utm_source=Design+Guru+List&utm_campaign=87d6585d23-Wireside_Chat_with_Lawrence_Lessig_2_24_2010&utm_medium=email

Thursday February 25th, 5:30-10:00pm
@ the Centre for Social Innovation in Toronto
215 Spadina Ave, Suite 160

6:00pm - 7:30pm: Screencast
Professor Lessig will deliver a talk on fair use and politics in online video from Harvard Law School in Cambridge, MA/USA - we are projection-screening a live hi-def stream of the talk.

This is a talk about copyright in a digital age, and the role (and importance) of a doctrine like “fair use.” Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, and is essential for commentary, criticism, news reporting, remix, research, teaching and scholarship with video.

As a medium, online video will be most powerful when it is fluid, like a conversation. Like the rest of the internet, online video must be designed to encourage participation, not just passive consumption.

7:30pm - 8:15pm: Discussion Panel & Address
Picking up on Lessig's talk our panel will share takes on participatory media culture and the changing nature of content ownership and usage in the Digital Age.

We will also be joined by videoconference for an address by Kaltura co-founder Dr Shay David.

Panelists:
McLean Greaves / Zoomer Media,
Mark Surman / Mozilla Foundation,
Brett Gaylor / RiP A Remix Manifesto + EyeSteelFilm

Moderated by: Qasim Virjee - Principal, Design Guru

8:15pm - 10:00pm: Social
Attendees will have a chance to mingle with panelists and each other over refreshments.

PRESENTED BY:
Design Guru & the Open Video Alliance @ the Centre for Social Innovation
