Acadia Senior College: Special Event
Pirates of the Caribbean: Mickey Mouse, Napster and the Future of Intellectual Property
Discussion Leader: Michael Shook, AeroHydro, Inc.
Southwest Harbor Public Library, Tuesday May 31, 2005: 6:30 – 8:30

Digitized works and the Internet have brought about yet another quantum reduction in cost, this time effectively to zero.
What are the cultural and economic implications of these changes?
