Posted by timothy on from the social-engagement dept.

An anonymous reader writes "On October 21, the University of Southern California will be hosting a public debate entitled "The War Over Music: A Debate". On stage and at odds: your favorite RIAA chair/CEO Hilary Rosen and law professor/cyber-rights guru Lawrence Lessig. Admission is $10 and open to the general public. If you'll be in Los Angeles and would like to attend, buy your tickets early."

    Lawrence Lessig will cream Rosen (has she argued a case before the SCOTUS?). Afterwards, the RIAA will push Congress to pass a new copyright law on public debates, with a recommended life sentence to anyone supplying a transcript without the permission of all parties. Rosen will claim victory, and when Lessig tries to use the transcript to correct her, the government will disappear him to Guantanamo Bay.
