That's the question that Lawrence Lessig and other guests will be trying to answer at the Intellectual Property Law International Conference in Krakow (Cracow), Poland, in April 20-22th 2005.

Topics for discussion include Creative Commons, P2P, and music sampling.

The folks at LinuxNews.pl report that prof. Lessig will spend three days in Cracow. He'll speak at the conference and meet with a group of lawyers from Uniwersytet Jagiellonski interested in spreading the ideas of Creative Commons in Poland.
