Subject: Berkman Center/EFF event in Cambridge 2/9/00 -- online music,
 technology and the law

Dear Declan,

I'm new to "politech" and uncertain about protocol, but hoped you might send the following announcement to the list. The Berkman Center and the EFF are putting on a free conference/concert at the end of this month to explore the intersection between digital technology, music, and public policy, and we want to spread the word.

*Please circulate widely*

Signal or Noise? The Future of Music on the Net
<http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/netmusic>

Sponsored by:
The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School
The Electronic Frontier Foundation

Date:
February 25, 2000

Will record labels be replaced by URLs? Is the new Walkman(TM) a Palm Pilot(TM)?
Why is a company called SpectraDisc making CDs that self-destruct?

The Berkman Center invites you to join us on February 25 for a conference to explore the full range of legal and policy issues confronting us as Internet technology transforms the music industry. Co-sponsored by the EFF, the daylong event features panel discussions with activists and thinkers, demonstrations of cutting-edge technologies, and addresses by leaders in law, technology, and the music industry. It culminates in an informal reception and a concert at Cambridge's House of Blues featuring bands enthusiastic about digital distribution.

Confirmed speakers, moderators and panelists include:

* John Perry Barlow, Berkman Fellow, EFF Co-founder, former lyricist for
 the Grateful Dead
* Chuck D., Hip-hop Activist and Public Enemy #1
* Eric Hellweg, Senior Editor, Business 2.0
* Christopher Lydon, Host, NPR's "The Connection"

The Berkman Center will webcast the conference.
