[The Cato Institute was kind enough to invite me to moderate a panel at this event. --Declan] ******** From: "Jerry Brito" <jbritoat_private> To: <declanat_private> Subject: Cato IP conference will rock! Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2001 12:06:46 -0400 Declan, I thought your Politech readers might like to know about Cato's upcoming IP conference. We certainly look forward to you moderating the panel "Should Code Breakers Go to Jail? The Limits of Fair Use and Anti-circumvention." Here's some info I hope you can pass along.
