CopyNight is a site where copyfighters can list their local events by city, a kind of social calendar from trademark, copyright and patent reform. There's a monthly worldwide event and you can add your own local events as well. This is the brainchild, in part, of EFF Activist Ren Bucholz, and as he says, "building community around free culture is so important for our long-term success."
CopyNight is a monthly gathering of people interested in ensuring freedom for artists and tinkerers, fostering innovation, and restoring the balance between the public interests and intellectual property rights holders for the benefit of all.
We're going to have kick off events on Tuesday, March 29, when the Supreme Court will hear arguments about the future of file sharing. We already have events scheduled in San Francisco, D.C., and New York, but we'd love to have one in your neck of the woods as well. If you're interested, just pick a venue (bar/restaurant/your apartment) and drop me a line with your contact info by Wednesday night (March 16). We'll start publicizing the events this Thursday, and I believe that EFF & other groups sending announcements to their members too.
