Free Culture advocate fired from IP law firm
Inga Chernyak, student president of Free Culture @ NYU, has been fired from her job at an intellectual property law firm for advocating methods of resisting intrusively restrictive copyright-enforcement measures in an interview for the Village Voice. This is hardly the first time someone has been fired for expressing an opinion in print outside of work. However, it does represent a trend towards sanctioning people for simply expressing oppositional views on the issue of DRM.
