Eben Moglen on "Innovation Under Austerity" (<br>
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2VHf5vpBy8" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2VHf5vpBy8</a> ). The whole video is 90<br>
minutes or so, but the speech is only half that. This would make a<br>
fine MP3 as well -- the video is not that interesting. Mr. Moglen is a<br>
crackerjack orator, and this is a really fun speech.<br>

The TL;DR: Open technology and civil liberties are the only way<br>
forward, economically and for the personal good of everyone on the<br>
planet.<br>
