Join us at General Provision (http://generalprovision.com) in FATVillage for a presentation and discussion on the intersection of law and technology; Fort Lauderdale's first Legal Hack Night!



More specifically, we'll be discussing Florida's True Origin of Digital Goods Act (TODGA), as well as reviewing the impact of the Internet's growth on society, followed by a Q & A.



Leading our night will be Drew Hinkes (https://twitter.com/propelforward) from Berger Singerman (http://www.bergersingerman.com/people/andrew-m-hinkes/) in Fort Lauderdale, who authored this post (http://www.flabusinesslaw.com/florida-legislation/florida-bill-seeks-to-protect-ip-owners-by-de-anonymizing-web-sites/) on the proposed legislation.



There will be pizza too, so bring a friend or two for an evening of important conversation that will have real-world implications for Florida's connected future.



Here's what some other organizations are saying about the #TODGA (SB604 (http://flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2015/0604)/HB271 (http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Bills/billsdetail.aspx?BillId=53294)):
