Freedom of Expression Documentary Viewing
I am currently a freshman at Georgetown University in Washington, DC and have started the campus chapter of Students for Free Culture. This Wednesday, April 9th, we are showing the documentary film “Freedom of Expression” in Healy Hall 103 on campus. The film will start at 7:30pm.
Description
In 1998, university professor Kembrew McLeod (Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Iowa) trademarked the phrase “freedom of expression” — a startling comment on the way that intellectual property law restricts creativity and the expression of ideas. This provocative and amusing documentary explores the battles being waged in courts, classrooms, museums, film studios, and the Internet over control of our cultural commons. Based on McLeod’s award-winning book of the same title, Freedom of Expression® charts the many successful attempts to push back the assault on free expression by overzealous copyright holders. Freedom of Expression® is an essential tool for educators, activists, filmmakers, students, artists, librarians, and more.
All are welcome, so any DC-area readers who would like to come are more than welcome. The embedded map should help you find the room, but if you have any questions, email me at kevin (at) copyrightings.com

Can’t make the screening, but best of luck. I’m a Georgetown student too and I’m looking forward to future events from our Free Culture chapter. I think it’s pretty cool that you started this–I’ve tried tried explaining Creative Commons to other people on the Voice and their eyes glaze over. Maybe you can help change that.

I’m glad to see this post and will try to make it to tonight’s screening. For future events, I hope you’ll reach out to other campuses and organizations and see if you can use their mailing lists or Web sites to publicize your events. American University Law School has a number of professors and students looking at IPR issues, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Public Knowledge, and CPTech have worked hard to push back against efforts to extend copyright, and many members of the DC chapter of the Internet Society are worried about copyright in cyberspace.
