<div style="word-wrap: break-word;"><div><br></div><div>Greetings,</div><div><br></div><div>I'm writing with an invitation to participate in an online symposium about access to knowledge, on the occasion of the publication of a new edited volume on the topic. �The book, called "Access to Knowledge in the Age of Intellectual Property," (Zone�Press; fulltext here -->�<a href="http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=12358" target="_blank">http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=12358</a>)�is the first of its kind: a series of essays commissioned to both provide a generalized introduction to the A2K mobilization and the IP environment it responds to, and to further develop the�theoretical and tactical insights and dilemmas of the A2K mobilization.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Of course, the book is really only worthwhile if people know it's�there, and if it helps spark some new debates and conversations. �In the service of that project, my co-editor Gaelle Krikorian and I are organizing a little online symposium, using the book as a launching point. �Fabulously, the popular law blog "Concurring Opinions" has agreed to host. �You can find an example of the genre of online book symposium here:�<a href="http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/category/symposium-future-internet" target="_blank">http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/category/symposium-future-internet</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Particularly because this is an edited volume, and one designed, in open-sourcey way, to generate new ideas and conversations, the format is wide open -- we invite you to comment on a piece in the book, to use the occasion to blog about a new A2K issue or debate, or to simply comment on the conversation that emerges. Comments should generally be short (say, 3-8 paragraphs), and the only other�requirement is that they be posted in the three day window for the symposium -- <b>Tues. Feb. 1 - Thurs. Feb. 3. �</b></div>
<div><br></div><div><b></b>Will you join us? �We'd be happy to explain further, to suggest particular pieces or topics to consider, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>Look forward to your response,</div><div><br></div><div>
