Dear TIPLA members,
The student IP Law Society at the UT College of Law is interested in holding a presentation regarding two bills currently moving through Congress: the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA). The intent of the legislation is to prevent the sale of illegally copied movies and music on pirate websites. However, the legislation has come under a good deal of protest by various parties urging that the legislation would curtail innovation and encourage censorship.
The IP Law Society is seeking local IP attorneys and professors to participate in a presentation on the issues in an interactive, but relaxed, debate format. If you are interested, please contact me or Fred Roth directly at roth.189@gmail.com. For those who do not know Fred, he is the President of the IP Law Society.
Such an event would be beneficial in many ways and TIPLA strongly encourages our members (i.e. you) to participate.
Regards,
Brent Bondy
