More on Cory Doctorow's SWF Talk on Copyright and the Future of Media

As I posted earlier, I was at Cory Doctorow's talk about copyright last Saturday. He gave a really accessible, concise history of copyright and talked about the issues regarding copyright law. It may not sound like the most exciting topic but he made it so with cool anecdotes. At one point he played part of DJ Dangermouse's now-legendary Grey album (an incredible mix of Jay Z's Black album and The Beatles' White Album- google and download it!). He also encouraged the audience to engage with the government to come up with equitable copyright solutions that will benefit both content producers and society at large.

Oh this is neat! A blogger named Ambar has put up 3 short videos from Cory Doctorow's talk on Copyright and the Future of Media on her blog.

What's even better is that you can get an MP3 of the entire talk here, courtesy of blogger Preetam Rai. If you've never heard Cory in person, I highly recommend you download and give it a listen! It's a 20mb file that runs for an hour and 20 minutes. Get it- it's great stuff.
