SUMMARY:The Internet's Own Boy: film and discussion
DESCRIPTION:\n\n“Unjust laws exist\; shall we be content to obey them\, 
 or shall we endeavor to amend them\, and obey them until we have 
 succeeded\, or shall we transgress them at once?”\n\nThe quote is from 
 Henry David Thoreau\, and it begins the film\, The Internet’s Own Boy. 
 \n\nIn observance of International Open Access Week\, please join us to 
 watch a one-hour cut of the film with a discussion of the issues it 
 presents\, facilitated by Professor David Olson of the BC Law School. The 
 film is a thought-provoking documentary about Aaron Swartz\, the computer 
 prodigy who\, as a teenager\, helped make possible the widely-used Creative 
 Commons licenses and was an influential activist for open access. Legal 
 action was brought against him for connecting his computer to the MIT 
 system and downloading portions of the JSTOR database. He committed 
 suicide\; many have suggested that this was a result of prosecutorial 
 overreach.\n\nProfessor Olson is an associate professor at Boston College 
 Law School. He teaches\, researches and writes about copyright law and came 
 to Boston College from Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and 
 Society.\n\nPizza and soda will be served. Please register\, so that we can 
 estimate food amounts\, but\, if you forget to register\, please feel free 
 to join us anyway.\n\nThis event is sponsored by the Boston College 
 Libraries in celebration of International Open Access Week.\n\n
