          DELETE: THE VIRTUE OF FORGETTING IN THE DIGITAL AGE
          OCTOBER 6, 2009 @ 4:00 PM
          ROOM 216, VANDERBILT HALL NYU LAW SCHOOL, 40 WASHINGTON SQUARE SOUTH
          DELETE argues that in our quest for perfect digital
          memories where we can store everything from recipes and family
          photographs to work emails and personal information, we’ve put
          ourselves in danger of losing a very human quality—the ability and
          privilege of forgetting. It is becoming harder and harder to “forget”
          these things as digital media becomes more accessible and portable and
          the lines of ownership blur.

          [NYCBAR] CLICKING "REFRESH": A NEW LOOK AT FAIR USE IN THE
          DIGITAL AGE
          OCTOBER 7, 2009 @ 6:30 PM
          NYC BAR ASSOCIATION, 42 W. 44TH ST
          This panel discussion will address the ways in which
          copyright law's fair use doctrine has evolved (or may be
          tested) in an era in which the rise of news aggregation,
          social networking, and a variety of other websites
          increasingly allow internet users to combine and transform content
          from endless sources of media.  Panelists will offer a broad range of
          perspectives on these an other issues from the bench, bar, media
          industry, and legal academy.
