And it is awesome.
Public Knowledge Co-Founder and President Gigi B. Sohn has announced their First Annual World Fair Use Day event coming this Tuesday January 12, 2010. This years WFUD event has some great stuff lined up.
From the Public Knowledge site…
The first annual World’s Fair Use Day is almost upon us! The festivities kick off on Monday, January 11th, with an ACTA discussion and happy hour hosted by Google, followed by a “Movie Night,” consisting of clips from the films RIP: A Remix Manifesto and Copyright Criminals with a discussion between directors Brett Gaylor and Kembrew McLeod, hosted by Negativland’s Mark Hosler, to follow. The main event kicks off the next day and will feature Congressman Mike Doyle, TechDirt’s Mike Masnick, “Garfield Minus Garfield” creator Dan Walsh, filmmaker and cartoonist Nina Paley and many more creators, innovators, policymakers and academics. Finally, we’ll end the night on a high note, with a happy hour featuring a DJ set from DJ Earworm, whose “United State of Pop 2009″ mash-up is currently being played on radio stations from coast to coast. World’s Fair Use Day is free and open to the public but seating for all events is limited, so be sure to RSVP by visiting our new site at http://wfud.info.
