Sick of intellectual property laws stifling creativity, free expression, and progress? Amused and shocked that BLACKBERRIES may be banned due to patent law violations? Frustrated that you cannot fight the system?
I have a solution!
I would like to start an organization that fights IP law. I envision starting off by having office hours, where local artists, techies, and business people can come in and get free advice on trademark, copyright, and patent law violations. I am hoping to also have a web form where people with such problems can contact us. From there - who knows? I have decided I have to do something to fight for what I believe in.
I am looking for:
Lawyers interested in IP law with time and energy to get involved in pro bono work
Artists with connections who can spread the word about this organization, and who maybe can design a great logo
Techies who can create a website
Local people (I live in NYC) who may have a great space that can be donated for walk sessions, to eventually occur once a week or so.
Anyone else who is interested in this fight.
If interested, please e-mail to sunsetr at hotmail.com. I am in the planning stage right now - I hope to really get something going with this!
