Other news I’ve been remiss in not posting until now: I’ve been chosen to receive an IP3 Award from Public Knowledge!
Awards are given to individuals who over the past year (or over the course of their careers) who have advanced the public interest in one of the three areas of “IP” –Intellectual Property, Information Policy and Internet Protocol. The awards will be presented at a ceremony Oct. 13 in Washington, D.C.
My stellar fellow awardees include Pamela Samuelson, Susan Crawford, Michael Geist. I’m really honored; this isn’t for Sita Sings the Blues (except maybe for how I released it), it’s for my Free Culture advocacy.
Hmmm!
Congratulations! I hope that the ceremony will be open to us plebes, but either way, you deserve all this and more.
Thanks Nick! It’s open to anyone who buys tickets, which are a mere $35.
Nina, followed you over here from TechDirt. Great to hear not only that there are people trying to get the word out about freeing up our collective culture, but that they are being recognized for it as well.
Cheers and congrats!
