Montreal is hosting The Salon du Livre Libre, a copyfighter's answer to the mainstream "Salon du livre de Montreal," 18 – 22 November 2004 at Cafe Utopik (522, rue Ste-Catherine est)
The Salon du Livre Libre, an open book fair organized by Cogitateurs
Agitateurs will take place from the 18th to the 22nd of November at Cafe
Utopik, from noon to 10PM each day. Organized in response to the Salon
du livre de Montreal, the event will inform the public about media
concentration, copyright law, small-scale publishing and Open Content.
Visitors to the Salon will be able to read free and public domain books
and download them to CD-ROM. In addition, there will be conferences and
panel discussions on freedom of information in an age of media
concentration and commoditized culture. A collection of theoretical and
analytical works revolving around the issue of Intellectual Property
regimes will be published for the occasion, as well as a collection of
original artwork. Entrance and all activities are free of charge.
(Thanks, Robin!)
