There was a bit of interest about this on Twitter so I thought I’d put the details here. Taking place tonight is the debate run by the Internet Society and the Alternative Music Society: “Current Anti-Piracy Campaigns are Unsustainable and Unethical”. It happens in the the Debating Chamber in the Graduates Memorial Building (GMB) in Trinity College at 7p.m. It’s free in.
There will be 4 speakers including a member of Chewing on Tinfoil whose album was released on the New-York based label, Quote Unquote Records, a donation-based record label which releases all its music for free giving the option to donate to the band.
There’s a Q+A and an open forum after.
Niall Byrne is the founder of the most-influential Irish music site Nialler9, where he has been writing about music since 2005. He is the co-host of the Nialler9 Podcast and has written for the Irish Times, Irish Independent, Sunday Times, Totally Dublin, Cara Magazine, Red Bull and more. Niall is a DJ, co-founder of Lumo Club, event curator, Indie Sleaze club promoter, and producer of gigs and monthly listening parties & events in Dublin.
Should have had it ten days earlier on International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
Arrrr.
The presentation is really nice. I liked it. Good share.
