On Tuesday, November 17, 2006 Electronic Frontier Foundation founders John Perry Barlow and John Gilmore were welcomed by Cory Doctorow, the U.S. - Canada Fulbright Chair in Public Diplomacy, for a discussion and q&a regarding their careers as cyberfighters and early adopters of the Internet.
Both a living legend many times over; Gilmore co-founded one of the first dial-up ISPs, was instrumental to the world’s most widely used compiler, and funds legal campaigns from marijuana law reform to Constitutional challenges to Transport Security Administration regulations; and Barlow is the mad poet who wrote the Grateful Dead’s best-loved lyrics and followed that up by penning seminal philosophical documents about the Internet, including the notorious Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace.
