 er.\n\nThis event is part of the TeCH TalkZ\, a collaboration between the 
 two student associations Zeus WPI and CenEka.\n\nOur Freedom At Stake\n\nI
 n the last year\, Net Neutrality has been a hot topic in the news.\nAmeric
 a is creating a law that would allow ISP’s to make your connection to an
 y service (e.g. Netflix) slower\, unless you pay an extra fee.\n\nRegulati
 ons like this are not only happening across the Atlantic sea\, but also in
  our own continent. The European Union is finally reforming our copyright 
 laws and some laws that won’t do any good for your freedom. Like sharing
  articles on Facebook and Twitter? With the reform\, this could become a c
 rime… Come to the talks and we will explain you why and we will tell you
  how we can stop it.\n\nThe speakers\n\nRuben Verborgh (IDLab)\n\nRuben Ve
 rborgh is a professor at Ghent University. As an expert in the Web\, decen

 y. What is happening and why should it be prevented?\n\nFelix Reda (Europe
 an Parliament)\n\nFelix Reda is a member of the European Parliament. He wi
 ll tell us about how the EU copyright reform will be beneficial to how we 
 can use the Web as a way to express ourselves.\n\nInfo\nThe talks are free
  of charge for everyone and will be held in Auditorium D of Campus Plateau
  - Rozier (Jozef Plateaustraat 22). Ruben Verborgh will start speaking at
