Copyfighter Brian Rowe Joins PK for the Summer

Brian's other projects include a legal internship at Creative Commons last summer, four years of work with the Washington State Access to Justice Technology Committee, and helping write Students for Free Culture's bylaws.

Before law school, Brian was a techie and web designer with a BS in Informatics and BA Political Science from University of Washington. Before academic pursuits called he even managed a Wizards of the Coast game store during the Pokemon craze, and to this day still plays too many games.

His mission at PK is still to be determined but projects may include; copyright reform, net neutrality, broadband, cellphone jaming, free culture outreach and anything else that helps ensure that IP is working in the interest of the people.
