Cory Doctorow on Three Strikes Death Penalty

"Author and activist Cory Doctorow argues that the Internet is too central to our lives to be taken away for three accusations of copyright infringement. Along the way he proposes that turnabout is fair play, and thus Universal (for example) ought to have its access to the Net taken away if it issues three false accusations of infringement."
From the description of the interview of Cory Doctorow by David Weinberger at http://blip.tv/file/2857773 , where the real video - dedicated to the public domain - can be viewed and downloaded.
The video can also be subtitled in other languages at http://dotsub.com/view/66aa2ced-22ed-4140-b403-fa2905ed1b55
This is a light - in Mb - version with just the audio and 3 still pictures, with English captions and French and Italian subtitles

:-D I also loved the passage about MPAA making a copy (copies?) of "This film is not yet rated" without asking the author.

Re all of us having copyright-violating stuff on our computers: I systematically screencapture and OCR "copy protected" PDFs, just because copy protections irritate me in their pointless idiocy.

Yet what about someone who'd just do that naively? I know an 80ish person who routinely uses screencapture to save what interests him online...

Well... If Jesus thought that this kind of lawer were in the crowd he wouldn´t have said nothing about throwing the first stone :)
