One of the first talk I watched was
Grey Commons by the swedish Group
Piratbyrån.
They're a very sympatic organization completely opposed to copyright. That's a view I often miss in the discussions about »Intellectual property«. Protests are often limited to specific cases or copyrights getting more restrictive (like DMCA, software patents etc.), but nearly nobody questions if »IP rights« are of any use at all for the society.
The guys had a lot of good thoughts and especially criticized »low level« opposition like finding »alternatives to copyright«. I could agree very much with their arguments and I hope that their more radical views are taken up by people in other countries.
Mit komfortablem Nachtzug angereist, gutes Hotel gewählt, Hanno berichtete. Heute einige nette und einige weniger nette Vorträge genossen. Nett war Piratbyrån, eine schwedische Organisation die offensiv für die Handlung des Kopierens beliebiger Inhalt
