|

<p>Copyright developed in the age of the printing press, and was designed to fit with
|
||||
the system of centralized copying imposed by the printing press. But the copyright
|
||||
system does not fit well with computer networks, and only draconian punishments can
|
||||
enforce it.</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The global corporations that profit from copyright are lobbying for draconian punishments,
|
||||
and to increase their copyright powers, while suppressing public access to technology. But
|
||||
if we seriously hope to serve the only legitimate purpose of copyright--to promote progress,
|
||||
for the benefit of the public--then we must make changes in the other direction.</p>

<short>Ken Ho</short>
|

<abstract>
|
||||
<p>E-mail transactions and confirmations have become commonplace
|
||||
and the
|
||||
information therein can often be sensitive. We use email for purposes as
|
||||
mundane as inbound marketing, to as sensitive as account passwords and
|
||||
financial transactions. And nearly all our email is sent in clear text;
|
||||
we trust only that others will not eavesdrop or modify our messages. But
|
||||
why rely on the goodness or apathy of your fellow man when you can
|
||||
ensure your message's confidentiality with encryption so strong not even
|
||||
the NSA can break? Speaker (Kenneth Ho) will discuss email encryption,
|
||||
and GNU Privacy Guard to ensure that your messages are sent, knowing
|
||||
that only your intended recipient can receive it.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>An optional code-signing party will be held immediately
|
||||
afterwards; if
|
||||
you already have a PGP or GPG key and wish to participate, please submit
|
||||
the public key to <a
|
||||
href="mailto:gpg-keys@csclub.uwaterloo.ca">gpg-keys@csclub.uwaterloo.ca</a>.

Laptop users are
|
||||
invited
|
||||
also to participate in key-pair sharing on-site, though it is preferable
|
||||
to send keys ahead of time.</p>

<p>The purpose of the talk is to address how students interact
|
||||
with the
|
||||
internet, and possibilities for how they could do so more
|
||||
efficiently. Information on events and happenings on UW campus is
|
||||
currently hosted on a desperate, series of internet
|
||||
applications. Interactions with WatSFIC is done over a Yahoo! mailing
|
||||
list, GLOW is organized through a Facebook group, campus information
|
||||
at large comes from <a href="http://imprint.uwaterloo.ca">imprint.uwaterloo.ca</a>. There has been
|
||||
historical pressures from various bodies, including some thinkers in
|
||||
feds and the administration, to centralize these issues. To create a
|
||||
one stop shop for students on campus.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>It is not through confining data in cages that we will finally link
|
||||
all
|
||||
student activities together, instead it is by truly freeing it. When
|
||||
data
|
||||
can be anywhere, then it will be everywhere students need it. This is
|
||||
the
|
||||
underlying concept behind metadata, data that is freed from the confines
|
||||
of
|
||||
it's technical imprisonment. Metadata is the extension of people,
|
||||
organizations, and activities onto the internet in a way that is above
|
||||
the
|
||||
traditional understanding of how people interact with their networks.
|
||||
The
|
||||
talk will explore how Metadata can exist freely on the internet, how
|
||||
this
|
||||
affects concepts like Web 3.0, and how the university and the federation
|
||||
are
|
||||
poised to take advantage of this burgeoning new technology through
|
||||
adoptions
|
||||
of portals which will allow students to interact with a metaverse of
|
||||
data.
