Nelson Pavlosky to Speak at Georgetown University

As a student at Swarthmore, Nelson Pavlosky sued Diebold (the voting
machine manufacturer) for abusing copyright. His case set an important
precedent for free speech in the digital age. He would go on to form the
international Students for Free Culture organization, of which
Georgetown=92s chapter is the newest.

On Wednesday, April 16th at 7:15 in Healy 103 Nelson will be speaking at
Georgetown University. His talk will cover free speech, the DMCA, open
source, fair use and the Free Culture movement. See more about him here:
