Internet Archive Link to Cory Doctorow talk at UCSD

I got to meet Cory Doctorow last month. He was coming to San Diego for the O’Reilly Emerging Tech conference, so our very intrepid librarian James R. Jacobs asked him to stop by UCSD to give a talk on DRM. If you follow his stuff for EFF or BoingBoing, you probably know he seems like a pretty cool dude. Well, he is. 🙂 I only got to spend a little 1:1 time with him as I drove him back downtown for the conference and he was great to talk to. Really busy dude. He travels all the time. He’s got a great passion for what he believes in and it comes across very well in the video.

From the IA site:
This was a talk given by Cory Doctorow at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Libraries on Monday March 14, 2005.

Doctorow talked about Digital Rights Management (DRM) and the new Access to Knowledge movement underway to safeguard the rights of archivists, disabled people, and educators. This movement has been successful in helping to create a development agenda at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). For some background see “WIPO to convene meetings on ‘development agenda’”.
