About the talk:

Agnieszka Stach is a law student and the author of two popular legal blogs. Her mission is to explain the law, which she says belongs to all of us and should be accessible, in simple and helpful language. She dreams of creating a prophylactic legal service, which she says would benefit us all, though her open attitude hasn't gone down well with some members of the legal community. Agnieszka's "Law in Algorithms" blog attempts to create algorithms of how the law applies to a particular legal problem, based on how a conversation between a lawyer and a client may proceed. Agnieszka relies on her own artistic background, which has helped her to understand the law on copyright faced by graphic designers, photographers, filmmakers, designers, musicians and other makers.

Recorded during: TEDxKraków 2013
