The Wang Institute plans to put on a three or four part series in software protection during the fall semester. The format is Monday afternoon lecture/panel presentations with the public invited (by ticket as we are always oversubscribed). The plans are: Part 0 -- lecture: Economics of Software Production (maybe) Part 1 -- lecture: Legal Protection of Software (Oct.) Part 2 -- lecture: Technical Protection of Software (Nov.) Part 3 -- a panel, consisting of: (Dec.) a publicly acknowledged software pirate a cottage-level producer of commercial software an industry-level producer of commerical software a law enforcement officer We plan to capture the material on video and printed media for publication. There will be appropriate announcements on this media as well as others when things are in place. My purpose in bringing this to your attention now is to solicit suggestions, most particularly of material and participants for the series. Someone who is a, and would like to speak for, the publicly-acknowledged software-pirate probably will have to come from a self-nomination in any case. /s/ Bill McKeeman ...decvax!wivax!mckeeman McKeeman.Wang-Inst @ CSNet-Relay Wang Institute of Graduate Studies Tyngsboro, MA 01879
