With our fourth conference just a week away, we are happy to announce another major milestone in the growth of Students for Free Culture. Brian Rowe, founder of the chapter at Seattle University School of Law, recently became the first SFC alumnus to join the Faculty Advisory Board!

Professor Rowe is a law and ethics professor at the intersection of human rights, code and copyright. He is an adjunct professor at University of Washington’s Information School and Seattle University Law. Brian has written comments to the Copyright Office on how DRM harms users with Disabilities and a mock trial used by high school students on blogger rights, fair use and copyright. Before joining academia he was a legal fellow at Public Knowledge and a legal intern at Creative Commons. His most recent works focus on issues of censorship through takedowns, fair Terms of Service and the implications of the Google Book Settlement on digital culture.

You can also keep track of him on twitter and identi.ca @sarterus.

Next time you see Brian, be sure to thank him for his on-going dedication to free culture and student activism!
