The event has a great line-up of artists, policymakers, and pundits
including:

  * Representative Mike Doyle (PA 14th)

  * Dan Walsh of 'Garfield minus Garfield'

  * Marc Hosler of Negativland

  * DJ Earworm

  * Mike Masnick of Techdirt

  * Brett Gaylor of 'RIP: A Remix Manifesto'

  * Nina Paley of 'Sita Sings the Blues'

  * Chris Burke, a machinima artist

  * Eliza Kreisinger, a mash-up artist

  * Jonathan McIntosh, a mash-up artist

If you can't make it to the free event, it will be webcast; it looks
great, so we encourage you to [check it out][1]!
