Controversy

In May 2005 Spanish newspapers reported widely on an attempt by Universitat Politècnica de Valencia in Spain to block a talk by Cortell. The story was reportedly picked up by a large number of blogger and Cortell resigned from his post at the University.

Cortell was "invited by the ETSIA Student Union and Linux Users' Group" to give a talk at the University analysing the legal use and benefits of the P2P networks, "even when dealing with copyrighted works" according to Cortell. [ [http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/technology/2005/05/22/spanish_university_achieves_world_fame_for_its_crude_attempt_at_censorship.html Spanish University achieves world fame for its crude attempt at censorship | Technology | Guardian Unlimited ] ] At the time Cortell was a teaching assistant on intellectual property at the Universitat Politècnica de Valencia. On May 4, 2005 he was forced to resign, after his very critical talk on Intellectual Property. Cortell eventually gave the talk at the university cafeteria.
