DESCRIPTION:How did people defeat Hollywood to save the Internet? The behin
 d-the-scenes story of the popular protests against SOPA and ACTA.    The C
 entre for Intellectual Property Policy welcomes Edward Lee\, Professor of 
 Law\, Director of the Program in Intellectual Property Law\, and Norman an
 d Edna Freehling Scholar at IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law.  Abstract  Th
 is talk will explain how a grassroots movement involving millions of peopl
 e was able to defeat money\, politicians\, Hollywood\, and the copyright l
 obby\, all in the name of a 'free and open Internet.' People used Facebook
 \, Twitter\, other social media\, blogs\, and websites to organize and lau
 nch protests against SOPA and ACTA\, two controversial copyright proposals
  in the United States and European Union that many feared would lead to In
 ternet censorship. Participants will learn how the Internet helped people 
 fight for their Internet freedoms--and do the unthinkable in stopping powe
 rful lobbyists and the entertainment industry in their effort to clamp dow
 n on online piracy at all costs.  About the speaker  Professor Edward Lee 
 teaches international intellectual property law\, copyright law\, and trad
 emark law. He joined IIT Chicago-Kent's faculty in 2010 as a professor of 
 law and director of the Program in Intellectual Property Law.  His researc
 h focuses on the ways in which the Internet\, technological development\, 
 and globalization challenge existing legal paradigms. He also writes exten
 sively about the Framers' understanding of the Free Press Clause as a limi
 t on using the Copyright Clause to restrict technologies. In addition to n
 umerous articles\, he co-authored a leading casebook with Daniel Chow titl
 ed International Intellectual Property: Problems\, Cases\, and Materials (
 West Group 2006).  Find out about his book at thefightforthefuture.com and
