[Jack Valenti kicked off his 2003 Morality Tour at Duke University law school yesterday. The buzz when I was at the law school there last week is that he got a nice, circa $20K speaking fee. Not bad for an hour's worth of public relations on behalf of his employer. Wonder if anyone asked him about the morality of forcibly implanting copy protection technology in all electronic devices at the behest of one industry group? Anyway, the speech text is here: http://www.mpaa.org/jack/2003/2003_02_24.htm --Declan] --- Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2003 21:30:45 -0800 (PST) From: Dan Epstein <dbepstein99at_private> Subject: Fwd: Broadcast: Valenti Lecture 2/25 To: declanat_private MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="0-431013504-1046151045=:65835" Hi Declan, I realize this is short notice, but thought DC-area Politech readers might be interested. Jack Valenti is speaking about copy protection at the Georgetown Law School tomorrow afternoon at 3:30. For anyone not familiar with the area, the Law School is at 2nd and F NW, not on the main Georgetown campus. It's between the Union Station and Judiciary Sq. metro stops. Should be a good time. ;-) Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2003 00:21:27 -0500 From: Daniel Epstein Subject: Fwd: Broadcast: Valenti Lecture 2/25 To: dbepstein99at_private > ATTACHMENT part 1 message/rfc822 Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2003 15:21:50 -0500 From: Information Systems Broadcast Subject: Broadcast: Valenti Lecture 2/25 To: All Students This message is being sent through an administrative e-mail account.
