Cornell University hosts some great discussion panels as a part of their University Computer Policy & Law program. Most of these are available as streaming video.
Thursday’s panel was entitled, “The Download Debate Strikes Back,” and featured an all-star cast of panelists:
- Alec French, Senior Counsel, Government Relations, NBC/Universal
- Cary Sherman, President, RIAA
- Avery Kotler, Senior Director, Business and Legal Affairs, Napster
- Fred von Lohmann, Senior Staff Attorney, EFF
- Siva Vaidhyanathan, Professor of Communications, NYU
- Fritz Attaway, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, MPAA
If you want to watch the video, point your crappy spyware-laden RealPlayer here.
Or for GNU/Linux dorks like me:
mplayer rtsp://specevents.video.cornell.edu/ucpl/Final41405.rm
The stream is almost 3 hours long, but it’s worth it. Truly entertaining and informative. By the way, Fred von Lohmann is a god. I think it’s time to donate to the EFF again.
