Steal This Film II London Premiere, Jan 18

Stuart sez, "London Social/Network group FanboyGeeks are hosting a free screening of the anti-copyright film 'Steal This Film II' on Friday 18 January (the London 'Premier'). As the screening was inspired by reading about it on BoingBoing, 15 free tickets will go to readers emailing mail@fanboygeek.net and quoting 'BoingBoing'."

I wouldn't call this an anti-copyright movie -- more like a documentary about the copyfight and a call for balance in copyright. Link (Thanks, Stuart!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Ha, I always thought he was a real pompous british a-hole anyway.

I didn’t think it was very good. Message received, but not through this program.

I said “anti-copyright” just to sir it up a bit. I, of course, am happy to stand corrected.

I have a few reserve tickets that I’ll happily give to BoingBoing readers if they can state a good case why they’d like to come – eg working in a related industry, studying a related subject, having a particularly keen interest, write a related blog, generosity in buying the host a pint of Guinness after the screening…
