Last week, Jim Harper was kind enough to host a book forum at the Cato Institute for Copyright Unbalanced: From Incentive to Excess. Video of the event is now available online.
I presented the case for why conservatives and libertarians should be skeptical of our current copyright system, and Tom Bell, a contributor to the book, made the case for reform. Mitch Glazier of the RIAA, a former Republican senior staffer on the House Judiciary Committee, served as respondent and engaged us in some lively debate.
I hope you will check out the video and that it might compel you to pick up a copy of the book, which also includes excellent essays from Reihan Salam, Patrick Ruffini, David Post, Tim Lee, Christina Mulligan, and Eli Dourado.
Also, this Thursday at 3 p.m. on the Hill, TechFreedom will host a panel discussion on free market thinking on copyright featuring yours truly, Geoff Manne, Larry Downes, Ryan Radia, and Adam Mossoff.
The Technology Liberation Front is the tech policy blog dedicated to keeping politicians' hands off the 'net and everything else related to technology.
