Audio and video of the April 14 debate at Cornell about copyright (with respect to music and movies) is now available via Bittorrent. Cornell also has a video in Real format here.
The discussion includes:
- Alec French, Senior counsel, Government Relations, NBC/Universal
- Cary Sherman, President, Recording Industry Association of America
- Avery Kotler, Senior director, Business and Legal Affairs Napster
- Fred von Lohmann, Senior staff attorney, Electronic Frontier Foundation
- Siva Vaidhyanathan, Professor of Communications, NYU
- Fritz Attaway, Executive VP and general counsel, Motion Picture Association of America
It is long but entertaining. They go around and around, never really listen to each other, never budge an inch. The Music/Movie industry makes one thing clear, Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) is here to stay. The great piece of the industries placing such tight restrictions on this content is that the Creative Commons movement probably wouldn’t have happened. DRM may not be such a bad thing after all.
