Several local Cambridge businesses are behind a new lecture series titled “Cambridge Business Lectures” which begins on 22nd July with a talk by Cory Doctorow.

Here’s the blurb for this first talk:

“We made a bet, some decades ago, that the information economy would be based on buying and selling (and hence restricting copying of) information. We were totally, 100 percent wrong, and now the world’s in turmoil because of it. What does a copy-native economy look like? How do everyone from barbers to musicians become richer, more fulfilled and more civilly engaged in a real information society. And what do we do about the fact that a couple of dinosauric entertainment companies are determined to screw it up?”

The event is running at Robinson College, Cambridge from 17:30 and you can sign up here.
