Dave Russell '67 Speaks on "Knowledge Wars"
David Williams Russell '67 addresses the World Trade Club on Tuesday, March 16 at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. In "Knowledge Wars: The Worldwide Struggle to Control Information in the 21st Century," he will address the following issue:
"In the 20th Century, the wars were about the machines that could transmit and store data faster and better than any systems in human history, and the intellectual property rules evolved to resolve such conflicts. In the 21st Century, governments, corporations and ordinary people worldwide are at odds over which can own and control what is known, seen, heard, transmitted, spoken or perceived by or about them, and even about who can own or control human body parts and DNA. The quest to control knowledge will be crucial to the evolution of the global economy in the decades to come."
David, a transactions lawyer in Indianapolis, was named "Indiana Super Lawyer for 2004."
