The Mega Copyright Debate, with Kim Dotcom
Kim Dotcom
will feature in a fundraising debate for the Michael King
Writers' Centre in September, along with leading authors,
writers and comedians.
The debate will bring together the internet entrepreneur - or pirate, depending on your perspective – Listener columnist and blogger Toby Manhire, Metro editor Simon Wilson, Dunedin crime writer Vanda Symon (who is on the board of Copyright Licensing NZ), award-winning comedian Jeremy Elwood and writer, commentator and internet adventurer David Slack. The chairman will be television and radio presenter Wallace Chapman. Author Charlotte Grimshaw will also be a part of the event.
The debate will be held at Q’s Rangatira Theatre on Queen Street, at 7.30 pm on Wednesday September 4.
Tickets are available at Q Theatre and cost $35 (service fees apply).
The moot will be that “Internet killed the copyright star”. It will look at what's happening with copyright in the age of the internet.
The debate is a fundraiser for the Michael King Writers' Centre.
