Sonia -------------------------------------------------------------------- Anarchy, State, and the Internet: E-Libertarians on the Global Frontier RECEPTION Tuesday, February 8, 2000 6:30 - 7:45 PM COST Complimentary LOCATION Stanford Park Hotel, 100 El Camino Real, Menlo Park Pacific Research Institute invites you to join us for an evening with Associate Professor of Law David G. Post, Temple University Law School. Professor Post teaches intellectual property law and the law of cyberspace; he is also the co-founder and co-director of the Cyberspace Law Institute. It has become a cliché to observe that the Internet is a kind of libertarian paradise, although there is much to that view. The net has a remarkable architecture of liberty, but like all liberties, it is under persistent attack from many directions. And as Orwell reminds us, its survival is not ensured. As the ideological battle lines take shape, a key question is: What institutions have the power and, more important, the right to impose their views of the good on those who are populating this new space? To illuminate this debate, Professor Post will draw on an interesting historical parallel the colonization of the New World. He will conclude with a discussion of how to ensure the continued flourishing of human freedom on the global network. David Post attended Georgetown Law Center and graduated summa cum laude in 1986. After clerking with then-Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, he spent six years at the Washington, D.C. law firm of Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, practicing in the areas of intellectual property law and high technology commercial transactions. He clerked again for Justice Ginsburg during her first term on the Supreme Court of the United States. RSVP: To attend this reception, please RSVP Cindy Sparks by phone at (415) 989-0833 x108, fax at (415) 989-2411, or email csparks () pacificresearch org. Space is limited. Thank you.
