Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and the Law

March 14th, 2006

On this edition of AudioBerkman, “…The deeper the penetration of the technology, the deeper the penetration of the content, the more we have the ability to improve everyone’s lives.” Brad Patrick, outside counsel to the Wikimedia Foundation, on Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and the Law.

The Wikimedia Foundation asks us to “imagine a world in which every single person is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.”

To help us imagine this world and its legal implications, well hear from Brad Patrick of the law firm Fowler White Boggs Banker. The following talk was presented on January 31, 2006, part of the Tuesday Luncheon Series at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School.
