Stop Mandelson's Disconnection Plans
Event Info
Description
Peter Mandelson is convinced that disconnecting filesharers will help the music and film industries. He's plain wrong. This extreme option would trample on internet users' - and their families - freedom of expression, without earning a penny for musicians and film-makers.
Open Rights Group, as part of our campaign against the policy of disconnection, is holding a debate on better approaches for public policy and the entertainment industry.
Gerd Leonhard (Media Futurist) will kick off with a presentation on the future of music, media and entertainment. David Rowntree (Blur) and Ben Goldacre (Guardian / Bad Science) will then join Gerd on a panel, chaired by our Executive Director, Jim Killock, to take questions from the audience.
