Rick Falkvinge - Copyright Industries vs. Civil Liberties

Are you going to build shelters or are you going to build windmills when the winds change? That was the question Rick Falkvinge, founder of the Swedish Pirate Party posed in his talk. There is a lot of misunderstanding in the debate around copyright. Rick addresses the fundamental issues in this debate and explains why we should worry about our civil liberties instead of keeping the copyright industry alive.

The Dutch Pirate Party existed just a few months before these elections. Most people did not even knew they existed in the Netherlands at that moment.

Yeah, in the beginning you can hear how bad the sound quality for the audience is. Then they switch to mike sound only.

Love this video, Did tim and eric do the camera work? its about as unflattering of an angle as you can possibly have on a man.

[foggymedia]

Well done. I agree with airfoobar, tough crowd that was subdued for such an excellent presentation.

[airfoobar]

Tough crowd..? Love the Dramatic Rodent camerawork, btw.
