Meetings, We Have Meetings

Not one but two event announcements of possible interest to Lebo residents:

First, Tybe Brett advises: The Mt. Lebanon ECAT (Environmental Community Action Team) is gathering again:

Date: Wednesday March 12, 2008
Time: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Location: 710 Washington Rd. (the Municipal Building opposite Sesame Inn)

Notes: We all know Mt. Lebanon is a great place to live, and we believe that together we can make it even better. The Mt. Lebanon Environmental Community Action Team is a group of concerned Mt. Lebanon-area residents who have joined with the Sierra Club to take action on global warming. On March 12th we will be holding a meeting to inform our community about the Cool Cities program and why we think Mount Lebanon should become a Cool City. We can save tax dollars while saving energy!
Please join us at this very important community meeting.
And bring your IDEAS!

(For more on the Cool Cities initiative, here is the Cool Cities website.)

Second is an event that I've organized. On Thursday, March 20 at the Pitt Law School (that's where I work) my colleague Professor Jessica Litman, Pittsburgh native and copyright law all-star, will give the annual Distinguished Intellectual Property Law lecture on "Copyright Reform." Professor Litman now teaches at the University of Michigan. She has published lots and lots of articles and books about copyright law. These days, she is especially interested in fair use and in personal, private, and noncommercial use. Did you break the law when you burned compilation CDs for your friends as Christmas presents? The answer may surprise you. Librarians, artists, technologists, and book, music, and film lovers of all persuasions may be interested in what she has to say.

The lecture is free and open to the public. (If you're a lawyer, then 1.5 hours of PA CLE credit is available for the bargain price of $25, payable at the door.) It begins at 3 p.m. The law school is at Forbes and Bouquet in Oakland, across the street from the Original Hot Dog Shop. I've posted additional details at Pittsblog.
