*Brown Bag Session with Arvind Narayanan*

Tuesday January 22, 2013
12:50 - 2:00pm ? Room 230
Bring Your Own Lunch

RSVP is required 
<http://enews.law.stanford.edu/t/r-l-uiydyud-jyhdhhtjhi-t/> for this 
free event

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Internet and digital technologies are quickly evolving toward the 
very antithesis of their original decentralized roots. In the new model 
adopted by smartphones, tablets, and other devices like the Kindle, the 
key is vertical integration ? hardware, software platform, and an 
identity layer packaged together, along with an app and content 
ecosystem. This feudal paradigm, with a small number of companies 
controlling their respective non-interoperable digital territories, is 
winning out ? users, conceptualized as serfs, give up some freedoms but 
gain security, usability and convenience, and app and content providers 
finally have a workable revenue model.

In this brown bag session Professor Narayanan will discuss how we ? as 
scholars, as citizens ? should adjust to living in a feudal world. 
Should tech innovators be content to tinker at the edges, or try to 
strike at the roots? Which laws need to be reexamined, and what new laws 
do we need? What are the implications for antitrust policy, and for 
privacy? We may not find the answers right away, but let us start by 
identifying all the questions that need to be asked.

Subject: [opensource] Memorial service for Aaron Swartz 1/24 @ Internet
	Archive
Message-ID: <217BDF3A-BEB1-4275-ADCD-A0CFC79AD8E1@stanford.edu>

Hi,

many of you will have already heard that internet activist Aaron Swartz committed suicide on friday. He was 26. Some may remember Aaron as a stanford student or from his talk a few years ago about the open library sponsored by the Stanford open source lab. Shinjoung and I have been helping the Internet Archive harvest Web content for a memorial Web archive of news, information, video, code etc. More information on Aaron, this project and other information is at:

http://freegovinfo.info/node/3846
http://archive.org/details/StanfordOpenSourceLab
http://aaronsw.archiveteam.org/
http://pdftribute.net/

A memorial service will be held for Aaron Swartz on 1/24 at the Internet Archive in SF. The reception is at 7pm with the memorial starting at 8pm. 

best,

James

The Legacy of Aaron Swartz

January 28, 2013 12:45pm - 2:00pm
Room 190
Aaron Swartz's tragic death has been covered by the news media in a wide 
array of contexts, from his contribution to internet technology to the 
criminal prosecution that ultimately led to his decision to take his own 
life. What has not been discussed in depth is what Aaron was really 
trying to do, and why he was trying to do it. Join CodeX, SLS ACS, and 
SLATA in a discussion about the many implications of Aaron's legacy, 
work that is being done at Stanford related to his interests, and policy 
changes that need to be made.
Lunch will be served.
