This is your last chance to buy tickets for the first-ever ORGCon in London tomorrow: it's a day-long meeting on the digital rights situation in the UK and what we can all do to improve it.

I'll be speaking there, as will James Boyle, author of The Public Domain, rogue Labour MP Tom Watson, and many other worthies, luminaries, muckrackers, and good sorts.
