CopyNight

Starting a national network of happy hours? I'm an old hand at that by now.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in MGM v. Grokster, and citizens who care about protecting the public interest against copyright excess gathered in eight cities around the country - Providence, New York, Washington DC, Raleigh, Austin, Santa Monica, San Francisco, and Seattle - for the first monthly CopyNight.

The New York chapter had a great group of about 30 people, from college students to 40-something hackers, lawyers, engineers, journalists, documentary filmmakers, and futurist Esther Dyson, who put a picture of me on Flickr.

The next CopyNight is Tuesday, April 26 - World Intellectual Property Day.
