Saturday: online freedom of speech eventJon Newton, from Vancouver Island, BC, the founder and editor of p2pnet.net, is being sued by Nikki Hemming, CEO of the infamous Australian Kazaa P2P application. This is a precedent-setting case, the first of its kind, and vividly illustrates the danger of applying ancient laws to Freedom of Expression in the digital age. A special Online Freedom of Expression round table will take place at Toronto's Centre for Social Innovation, 215 Spadina Avenue, Suite 120, Toronto, from 3 - 5PM. There will also be a fundraiser following the round table at the Rivoli: details are here.
