about

Hello, everybody! My name is Parker Higgins, and this is my website. I am a guy who’s interested in the theory and practice of copyright, and how it interacts with creativity. I work as an activist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and I’m passionate about free software and free culture. Previously, I have served on the board of the international student group Students for Free Culture.

I also like public transportation systems and their maps, kite aerial photography, vegetarian food, and good science fiction. I enjoy playing the ukulele (especially concert) and singing karaoke (especially “Western-style,” in large rooms). I’m interested in unusual typography, and particularly like the look of the reversed pilcrow (⁋) and the interrobang (‽).

I am a 2010 graduate of NYU Gallatin, where I concentrated in Creativity, Freedom of Speech and Intellectual Property. For a while I lived in Berlin, where I worked for SoundCloud. I can be found in many places around the internet; an incomplete list of those places can be found in the Contact section.
